Sunny Townsville....still

Yup, still in T/ville...

Anyways, I haven't been updating this thing as I don't know what to say, and I am not doing much exciting these days. Since my last update, I have still been working at the hostel (more like a hotel ;)) I am staying at instead of paying for my accommodation (apparently accommodation has 2 m's). Anyway, it is better than nothing and if I do over the amount of hours to cover me, I get paid... no too bad. I am also still waiting to be paid from the guys from the 1st job too!!!!!

Thomas and I also went to see Transformers 3, and apart from some of the worst seats I have ever sat in in a cinema, it was so good! Yes, they replaced Megan Fox, but it works. Like the other films, it was fantastic! Off this Tuesday to see Harry Potter, but I don't know how I will be able to sit in those god awful seats for 3 hours!!!

We also went off for the day to the Billabong Sanctuary, where I got to hold a Wombat named Tonka, that was awesome, a snake and a little croc. Thomas also got to hold a koala. The "little" wombat I got to hold also had a story behind him about how he thrived off peoples attention...After cyclone Yasi, there was damage to the park, and so it was closed while it was repaired. During this time, Tonka got sick and started to lose a lot of weight, but no one knew why. Eventually a vet said he may be depressed, and so with more cuddles and visits he started to get better and when the park re-opened, and people where patting and cuddling him more, he put weight back on and got better :)....poor lil Tonka...

So, other than that, there isn't much more to be said... wow...!

Still here...

So, I am still in Townsville, and, to be honest, it can be a bit of a boring place...it is nice, but yeah...

Anyway, I had me a job, started last monday, and I lasted 2 days. Yip, monday and tuesday. I was stuck in a shopping center, standing at an Austar kiosk, trying to pitch people, and talk them in to signing up for Austar...what a friggin joke that was. Standing like a spare prick, while people do their utmost to ignore you and make you feel little, and when you even say "Hi" they respond with "Not interested" or "Have it" or just give you a dirty look. It was kind of degrading, and an experience I doubt I will ever forget. I also learnt myself a very valuable lesson

DO NOT EVER DO A SALES JOB!!! Stick ta what ya know, and hourly pay.
Stood in a shopping center for 10 hours and got feck all for it!!!

So, after I decided on the tue, while standing watching people ignore me and feeling dumb, and while the guy I was with was dancing around 'annoying' people, I came back to the Foreign Exchange hostel and was able to land me a job cleaning for my accommodation. Not too bad, and better than nothing/Austar! So I do me a 9-12 'shift' and an hour in the evening, and I have the afternoon to enjoy the sun...meaning, right now, I am a few different colours :D.... I am a sun worshipper...I know it is not too good for ya, but hey... me and him are mates...
