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...
Still here...

Sorry the other job didnt work out. Will confess I am like the people who walked past you and ignored you. I hate the in the face approaches that the sales people make. I would just rather approach you but I guess you wouldn't sell much that way. The new job sounds much better
