Matt’s back in town!
All you faithful readers out there probably have no idea what I’m talking about, but this is a pretty big deal, and let me explain why. When I talk about my family (which I feel like I do way too much) I only talk about what they’re doing at the moment. Since four of us live in this big old house, and they’re the people I actually, you know, talk to, most of my time is spent talking about them. But who I realise know I have entirely neglected to mention is Matt. (Cue dramatic reveal music) That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I have a brother. Dun dun duuuuun.
Okay so maybe it’s not that much of a shock, particularly since the reason I don’t really talk about him so much isn’t that he’s a failure, just that until recently, he lived interstate. And there’s a pretty good reason I say ‘until recently’ because apparently marine welding in Melbourne is the next big thing. Either that or there aren’t many jobs floating around in Sydney at the moment. Either way, he’s officially relocating down here which is awesome because he is awesome. And I’ve missed him.
The only (extremely insignificant) problem is that I have no idea what he does. Beyond being a marine fabricator, I mean. When he was doing all his training and stuff I was fully immersed in school. Not to mention the fact that I was really up myself and couldn’t care less what any other member of the family was doing. Then he moved away, so I didn’t really get to hear him talk about work or anything like that. All that I do remember is the occasional conversation about a bow rail, which is not overly useful in this situation. I guess I could always Google it, but that sort of feels like cheating. I’m just hoping against hope that we have someone over so he has to explain.
