The process started when Kim Shepherd and Joshua Smyth decided to move out of their current residence and look for accommodation with myself. I was having no luck relocating. My initial plan fell through after I finished at Northtec so I had to start looking for places myself. Single room apartments didn't have car parks and single room rentals were rare or too expensive. I tried looking for places that are after flatmates and after about 10 emails/txt's within two weeks I only ever got 3 replies. One was good, said to come down have a look but within an hour they contacted me back saying the room was filled. One did say come have a look and while I was down the last one contacted me and ask if I could come the following day. Since I couldn't make it I txted them back asking if today was possible but never got a reply. The one I did look at was hesitant about accepting an unemployed person. That can't be helped as I was having no luck with jobs either. It was good that Kim and Josh wanted to move out as well. Things became really quick then.
We lined up a few houses to look at on a Saturday then proceeded to try viewing them. That wasn't a good plan but we did get to see two places. One was on Dominion Road the other in Remuera. We didn't like the Dominion Road one because it was only until October and the location wasn't the best. The Remuera one looked homely and by the time we got to the viewing there was only three families there. We didn't think we would have much of a chance but we applied for it anyway. The application was quick, the following week we heard back from the land agent and she told us we got the house. Within two weeks we've found a place compared to my two months of looking.
So now that I'm in Auckland, hopefully things might start getting better for me. It could be another one of my bad decisions but now at least I can see where it takes me rather than wonder about it. Now where's that job?
