Gee! Two!

I got my driver's licence! Yay! Took the test this morning. No hiccups. Lost like one mark for "incorrect steering" (read put my hand on the inside of the steering wheel when I backed out of the parking lot).

I went with a driving school this time. Boy it makes a difference when they can see you're with a driving instructor and using their car. The testers are so much nicer. (We went to a different test centre as well where the people are less frumpy.)

So this is a G2 licence which is like P plates in Australia. The main differences between the G2 licence and the G (full) licence are: I have to have exactly zero blood alcohol level on a G2; I pay higher insurance premiums; the test to get a G2 is easier, keeping to city streets and not highways.

Now we can see about getting a car. Just as well cos I start work on Monday. (Yes, later than what the other post said - they needed a police check which is due back Friday.)

In other news, we just said bon voyage to Jack Bauer and friends as the 5th season of 24 came to a close on Monday. We've got the end of the 2nd season of Lost on tonight, and then the final episode ever of Charmed on Friday. We also caught the final ever episode of the West Wing on Sunday a week ago so that was sad. So now there's bugger-all television on for the summer, just like back home when you get to December. I'm surprised I haven't seen ads for Judging Amy yet...
