  <WSC#DPC272:0010:FB>
      <O>tut</O> she wants to be a family court judge

  <WSC#DPC272:0015:FA>
      yeah?

  <WSC#DPC272:0020:FA>
      get involved in all the family disputes that'd be quite hard

  <WSC#DPC272:0025:FB>
      it's <{><[><?><.>well</.> <.>sh</.></?></[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0030:FB>
      yeah I think so too

  <WSC#DPC272:0035:FB>
      it's not in the area that i'd like to get involved in

  <WSC#DPC272:0040:FB>
      i sort of think that <.>my</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0045:FB>
      oh just the way i've been brought up you sort of think people's
      private affairs are private <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0050:FA>
      <[><?>be <.>quite</.></?></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0055:FA>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0060:FB>
      you shouldn't get involved

  <WSC#DPC272:0065:FB>
      but in HER mind there's always gonna be a family court judge
      deciding disputes <{><[>custody</[> and stuff

  <WSC#DPC272:0070:FB>
      and she said that in the <.>c</.> in the course of doing her
      degree she's read some really crappy decisions <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0075:FA>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0080:FA>
      yeah? <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0085:FB>
      and she thinks that she could do better <O>laughs</O> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0090:FA>
      oh yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0095:FB>

      another interview and i haven't so <O>tut</O> <{><[>yeah</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0125:FA>

      i won't be upset at all

  <WSC#DPC272:0130:FA>
      because i only want to work for like six months anyway and then
      um go overseas or something so it doesn't really matter

  <WSC#DPC272:0135:FB>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0140:FB>
      so is it a possibility that you'll go overseas anyway and just
      borrow money to go <{><[><.>or</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0145:FA>
      <[>um</[></{> oh like if worst comes to worst i'll just um work

      get some stink job for like six months next year before i leave
      or whatever

  <WSC#DPC272:0165:FB>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC272:0170:FA>

  <WSC#DPC272:0335:FB>
      and those are the people who er have ambition <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC272:0340:FB>
      <{1><[1>the rest</[1> of them are just going nowhere and just in
      <&>9:00</&> <?>utter</?> <{2><[2>content</[2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0345:FA>

      want to move

  <WSC#DPC272:0360:FB>
      and <.>i'd</.> <.>he</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0365:FB>
      i mean it's really really attractive to him because he's been
      looking for jobs the same <.>as</.> you know through the
      employer visitation and he's <{2><[2>just</[2> kept being
      knocked back knocked back <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0370:FA>

      he'll have his a c a right and then he can work wherever he
      likes <.>so</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0400:FB>
      well i don't know <{><[>you see</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0405:FA>

      <[><laughs>no</laughs></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0430:FB>
      <{1><[1>they've</[1> basically told him that

  <WSC#DPC272:0435:FB>
      <{2><[2>there's a partner</[2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0440:FB>

      the <{4><[4>partnership</[4>

  <WSC#DPC272:0450:FB>
      and in six years craig will be twenty eight <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0455:FA>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0460:FA>
      <[2>well that's no good</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0465:FA>
      <[3>mhm</[3></{3>

      <[4>right</[4></{4>

  <WSC#DPC272:0475:FA>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0480:FB>
      and they want him <{><[>to stay for</[> life

  <WSC#DPC272:0485:FA>
      <[><.>that</.> oh god</[></{> that is such an excellent
      opportunity

  <WSC#DPC272:0490:FA>
      <{><[>it's such</[> a shame that it's in <laughs>opotiki</laughs>
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0495:FB>
      <[>i know</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0500:FB>
      even if it was any other small town you <{1><[1>know</[1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0505:FB>
      you don't feel so bad about moving to a new <&>10:00</&>
      district where you've got no history there and <{2><[2>no</[2>
      ties and noone's got any impressions of you

  <WSC#DPC272:0510:FB>
      <{3><[3>and</[3> you can just start again <{4><[4>um</[4>

  <WSC#DPC272:0515:FB>
      but i just don't know if i could handle it

  <WSC#DPC272:0520:FB>
      the ONLY plus is that my family's there and <{5><[5>HIS</[5>
      family's there

  <WSC#DPC272:0525:FA>
      <[1>yeah</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0530:FA>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

      <[5>yeah</[5></{5>

  <WSC#DPC272:0550:FA>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0555:FB>
      but apart from that <latch> <O>laughs</O> <latch> nothing
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0560:FA>
      if it came up to the decision of whether to take the job or
      whether to like keep going out with you

  <WSC#DPC272:0565:FA>
      what do you think he'd do <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0570:FB>
      i think he'd <.>come</.> he'd stay with me <.>i'd</.> <{><[><.>i'd</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0575:FB>
      oh i don't know

  <WSC#DPC272:0580:FB>
      i think he would <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0585:FA>
      <[>yeah?</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0590:FA>
      oh yeah he probably would too

  <WSC#DPC272:0595:FA>
      I would <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0600:FB>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0605:FB>
      but it's very tempting for <{1><[1>him</[1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0610:FB>
      i KNOW that

  <WSC#DPC272:0615:FB>
      i can SEE him <.>clicking</.> it's all clicking over his mind

  <WSC#DPC272:0620:FB>
      the <{2><[2>worry</[2> <.>ab</.> <.>he's</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0625:FB>
      the thing is with craig <.>he's</.> he's <.>w</.> a worrier

  <WSC#DPC272:0630:FA>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0635:FA>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0640:FA>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC272:0645:FB>
      and he WORRIES about being secure and he worries about having
      debt and <.>he</.> you know

  <WSC#DPC272:0650:FB>
      whereas I just think money's <.>just</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0655:FA>
      yeah i don't <{><[>care</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0660:FB>
      <[>money's just</[></{> a <.>u</.> thing that i use to get by in
      the world and <.>it'll</.> you know it'll always be there if <.>i</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0665:FB>
      you know i'll always be able to get it if i want it because
      <&>11:00</&> i'm resourceful because i reckon i can make my own
      way

  <WSC#DPC272:0670:FB>
      and I use money and money doesn't control me <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0675:FA>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0680:FB>
      and um i don't worry <{1><[1>about</[1> debt like <{2><[2>you</[2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0685:FA>
      <[1>yeah</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0690:FA>
      <[2>i</[2></{2> suppose being an accountant eh <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0695:FB>
      yeah <{><[>i suppose</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0700:FB>
      but <.>in</.> <.>min</.> he's <.>saying</.> he's saying um <O>tut</O>
      oh but you know i've got ten thousand dollars debt from student
      loan already you know when am i going to pay it back

  <WSC#DPC272:0705:FB>
      and i'm thinking for crying out loud you're going to be in debt
      for the rest of your life

  <WSC#DPC272:0710:FB>
      what do you think a mortgage is <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0715:FA>
      <[>does it to you</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0720:FA>
      <laughs>yeah exactly</laughs> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0725:FB>
      <O>voc</O> ten thousand dollars is peanuts <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0730:FA>
      and you just don't worry about it eh

  <WSC#DPC272:0735:FB>
      no <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0740:FA>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0745:FB>
      i just wouldn't worry about it <O>tut</O> <O>inhales</O>

  <WSC#DPC272:0750:FB>
      but um i <.>d</.> well i didn't say i wouldn't go back there

  <WSC#DPC272:0755:FB>
      i said <&>11:38</&> <&>microphone falls down</&> <&>12:01</&>

  <WSC#DPC272:0760:FA>
      so when you said that um <,> that <,> darren was going to go
      back <.>to</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0765:FA>
      is that his home town <.>where</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0770:FB>
      no no um he's from lower hutt <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0775:FA>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0780:FB>
      but um last summer he worked up in waiuku at the steel mill <{><[>which
      is a</[> REAL hick town eh

  <WSC#DPC272:0785:FB>
      god um

  <WSC#DPC272:0790:FB>
      and i think he quite liked it

  <WSC#DPC272:0795:FB>
      and now he's got through to the last round of interviews for um
      a proper job at the steel mill

  <WSC#DPC272:0800:FB>
      and it pays really well

  <WSC#DPC272:0805:FB>
      and he <.>hasn't</.> <.>he</.> like he's failed quite a few
      courses so it would be a really good job for him

  <WSC#DPC272:0810:FB>
      but <O>voc</O> you know he's going to go and live in waiuku
      which is really stink <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0815:FA>
      <[>oh all right</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0820:FA>
      so are you guys still kind of involved <{><[>or</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0825:FB>
      <[>oh</[></{> no um

  <WSC#DPC272:0830:FB>
      but if he was living in wellington we probably would be

  <WSC#DPC272:0835:FB>
      <{><[>like</[> um i mean we still really like each other and
      stuff but um

  <WSC#DPC272:0840:FB>
      yeah one of the main things why we're not still going out is
      because he wants to go and live in a little small town and i
      kind of want to live in a city and go overseas and do lots <.>more</.>
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0845:FA>
      <[>right</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0850:FA>
      yeah <latch> <&>13:00</&> you know different things

  <WSC#DPC272:0855:FB>
      yeah so if our lives aren't going in the same direction there's
      not really much point going out

  <WSC#DPC272:0860:FA>
      that's like me and craig <.>our</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0865:FA>
      we've got different horizons <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0870:FB>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0875:FA>
      like he's looking really longterm ahead <{><[>thinking</[> well
      i would LIKE to travel but but when i've <.>got</.> when i've
      established the career and have got the <.>security</.>
      financial security to go <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0880:FB>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0885:FB>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0890:FA>
      and um and i'm thinking i want to go and just experience <,>
      life <{1><[1>there</[1> and just see how i'd cope on

  <WSC#DPC272:0895:FA>
      it's <{2><[2>like</[2> an experiment to see how i'd <.>cope</.>
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:0900:FB>
      <[1>yeah</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0905:FB>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2> yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0910:FB>
      <{><[>i think it's more</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0915:FA>
      <[>er with</[></{> uncertainty

  <WSC#DPC272:0920:FB>
      yeah i think it's more important to go and have fun and do
      awesome things while we're young and while we can <{><[>rather</[>
      than you know settling and never getting the opportunity to do
      those sort of things again

  <WSC#DPC272:0925:FA>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:0930:FA>
      <O>tut</O> yeah <{1><[1><.>a</.> <.>ha</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0935:FA>
      he just <.>worry</.></[1> he worries that you know he'll get
      <{2><[2>there</[2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0940:FB>
      <[1><unclear>word</unclear></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:0945:FB>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0950:FA>
      and he won't be able to get a <drawls>job</drawls> <.>or</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0955:FA>
      and i just said well <{><[>i'll just</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:0960:FB>
      <[>well too bad</[></{> what happens if he doesn't get a really
      really good job

  <WSC#DPC272:0965:FB>
      <{1><[1>he'll</[1> get a decent job and i'm sure he'll do fine
      even if he DID <{2><[2>take</[2> a few years off

  <WSC#DPC272:0970:FA>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1> <&>14:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC272:0975:FA>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:0980:FA>
      i know but yeah <O>tut</O> <.>s</.> you can't change other <.>people's</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0985:FB>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:0990:FA>
      way of looking at things <.>so</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:0995:FB>
      mhm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1000:FA>
      it's up to him

  <WSC#DPC272:1005:FB>
      that's for real

  <WSC#DPC272:1010:FA>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC272:1015:FB>
      yeah <,>

  <WSC#DPC272:1020:FB>
      do you think you'll get married

  <WSC#DPC272:1025:FA>
      i don't <{><[>know</[>

  <WSC#DPC272:1030:FA>
      i THINK i could <.>m</.> handle it more and more <,>

  <WSC#DPC272:1035:FA>
      like every time we spend a decent amount of time together i
      think i'm so happy

  <WSC#DPC272:1040:FB>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:1045:FB>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC272:1050:FA>
      but um we have fundamental <.>p</.> difficulties just that like
      um he <.>doesn't</.> he doesn't talk things though as much as i
      would prefer <{1><[1>and</[1> um <,,>

  <WSC#DPC272:1055:FA>
      and i probably goof around a bit <{2><[2>more than</[2> he does
      sort of

  <WSC#DPC272:1060:FA>
      <{3><[3>i don't know</[3> <,,>

  <WSC#DPC272:1065:FA>
      just little things that probably <&>15:00</&> would make quite a
      difference

  <WSC#DPC272:1070:FA>
      <{4><[4>would add up</[4>

  <WSC#DPC272:1075:FB>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:1080:FB>
      <[2><O>laughs</O></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:1085:FB>
      <[3>yeah</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPC272:1090:FB>
      <[4>yeah?</[4></{4>

  <WSC#DPC272:1095:FB>
      but i suppose if you have one person who's <.>quite</.> like
      worries and worries about the future and likes to make the
      future secure and you have one person who's more FUN then <{1><[1>um</[1>

  <WSC#DPC272:1100:FB>
      or you know into other things um

  <WSC#DPC272:1105:FB>
      it could be quite a good balance

  <WSC#DPC272:1110:FB>
      like you'd get him to do things he wouldn't usually do but then
      he'd kind of give you some <{2><[2>security</[2> or whatever as
      well <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1115:FA>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC272:1120:FA>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC272:1125:FA>
      we are balanced in that i worry about little things whereas he
      worries <{><[>about</[> big things <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1130:FB>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:1135:FB>
      right <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1140:FA>
      i DON'T worry about big things

  <WSC#DPC272:1145:FA>
      i <.>d</.> i DO get stressed every now and then about something
      that's probably quite trivial

  <WSC#DPC272:1150:FA>
      <{><[>that's</[> just my nature i like <.>t</.> things to be
      DONE <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1155:FB>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC272:1160:FB>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1165:FA>
      but um <.>h</.> and those kind of things he <.>doesn't</.>
      doesn't he is lax he just goes with the flow but um

  <WSC#DPC272:1170:FA>
      like i worry more about study and work and getting <.>thing</.>
      good marks and you know than he does

  <WSC#DPC272:1175:FA>
      he sort of thinks oh i'll just think about one thing at a time
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1180:FB>
      oh right <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1185:FA>
      and works towards one thing and then <.>not</.> onto the next
      whereas i'd probably <&>16:00</&> plan study and that more but
      um

  <WSC#DPC272:1190:FA>
      and then we're good at different things <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1195:FB>
      yeah? <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1200:FA>
      like um he's really good with um directions and stuff like that
      whereas <.>i'm</.> i'm <.>more</.>

  <WSC#DPC272:1205:FA>
      i'm hopeless with directions i NEVER know where i am <latch>

  <WSC#DPC272:1210:FB>
      yeah?

  <WSC#DPC272:1215:FA>
      <.>or</.> or have a good idea of spatial kind of concerns i'm
      hopeless like that

  <WSC#DPC272:1220:FA>
      whereas the commonSENSE things um

  <WSC#DPC272:1225:FA>
      problem solving maybe

  <WSC#DPC272:1230:FA>
      i'm better <&>16:30</&>
</I>
