    I mean this is the nicest possible way, but… you understand that means you’d have to LIVE in Geelong, right? You cant even go home and take a shower because you’d just be showering IN Geelong.

      Haha, I quite like Geelong, but I’m generally in holiday mode when I’m there and that might colour things. Pretty sure they do have showers though!

      I reckon since I’m going into all the logistics fairly thoroughly I probably won’t get the job, so it’ll be a non-issue. But we’ll see.

        @underwatermagpies @TinyBreak To be fair, it also depends on where in Geelong.

        It’s not that bad if you’re in one of the new estates near Torquay or in a new apartment block in the CBD.

        Corio on the other hand…

        Well…

        There’s a good reason why Geelong maybe has a bit of a bad reputation sometimes.

      Couldn’t be as bad as living in Rowville.

          Hey! Its not a deadzone per say. The state government just assumed it was a suburb of bus enthusiasts.

            @TinyBreak @StudChud Many years ago I dated a girl who lived in Rowville, and I can confirm there’s plenty to do there.

            You can choose whether you want to go to the Coles or the Kmart at Stud Park Shopping Centre. Maybe both?

            Or you can wait and wait in a traffic jam on Stud Road.
            Or wait and wait in a traffic jam on Wellington Road.
            Or wait and wait in a traffic jam on Kelletts Road.
            Or wait and wait for the bus to Knox and Ringwood.
            Or wait and wait for the bus to Dandenong.
            Or wait and wait for the bus to Glen Waverley.
            Or wait and wait for the bus to Boronia.
            Or wait and wait for the bus to Caulfield.

            Lol, I have vivid memories of the 901 and the smell. Or from FTG Rd the 753 and the 693

            shudder

          I stayed in rowville for over a month once, made me really appreciate living downtown

          and I would rather live in a real country town than rowville,

        Wasn’t that bad unless you need a train. Safe area, plenty of shops, not far from Knox or Monash or east link. Fairly quiet. Lived there for many years.
