most money

Do you know the 3 jobs that make the most money here in Melbourne?
1. oral maxillofacial surgeons
2. dog groomers
3. wedding photographers

Well, number one.. is the surgeon that will be taking out my three remaining wisdom teeth. I can't believe I've locked that in already, amongst all the wedding preps. I'm nervous as hell. The surgeon spoke about worst case scenarios that scared the living daylights out of me. Not only will I be in a lot of pain after the procedure, I will be very poor too. I'm getting it done at a hospital on the 21st of August. I will need a week to recover, so I won't be able to go to work. And I hope I will be in good form on the 27th, which is my birthday. 

Number two, each time I ring her, she's already booked out for the next 8 weeks. Its winter, for crying out loud! Who sends their dogs for a haircut when it is bloody freezing (apart from me)? Well, many many other people, Jules! But it is worth it. She does a great job on Emm. He smells nice now. He looks less of a mop, and more of a dog.

Number three... I took a long time to decide on some wedding photographers, because they were so expensive. And just when I've made up my mind, that I am willing to lose an arm and maybe a leg for these photographers, I have been receiving 'I'm sorry' responses as they are already all booked out on the day of my wedding.  That can't be true, I tell myself... but it is! Although, I must admit, as these popular photographers are booked out, I do more and more research for others. Looking at their work, I am now trying to steer away from cheesy cliche wedding photography, and instead finding some others that are more unique.

Maybe it is time for a change in my career!
