Easy as 1..2..3......or not.

You hear about loads of people going to Australia travelling around and finding work to keep the funds respectable....the thing is that literally EVERYONE is doing that so the precomception of finding a job being easy is, in reality, bloody hard.

I admit the first week we arrived i wasn't really looking, i was to busy finding my feet and getting settled but now for the last two weeks everyday i've been looking and asking in what seems like every pub/bar/hotel in Sydney, soon im gunna have to move state just in order to find a job and not see me come home through no choice of my own besides no monies..

people i've spoken to about looking for a job said that there are loads of places looking for people and that, with my experiance in the field, i'd be snapped up, now i cant work out whether they've just moved to sydney form another state and are suffereing from memory loss or something but these 'loads of places' seem to be 'loads of miles' from everywhere i 've walked so far...

As for the appartment in bondi, we looked at it, it was very nice but it was also to far for Helena as it would take easily 1 hour travel each day to and from work add to that the time of day she'd have to get up in order to get to the bus stop and she really didn't want to stay there which was a shame and because of this the rent for a single person would be $190 p/w which is more than i can afford, probably even with a job so it was back to the drawing board and classified ad's.

Oh, and although we'd planned to make a day or if at Bondi, do the whole beach thing after we saw the appartment it pee'd it down, ya know, just to rub it in im sure, anyway the pic of the beach is bondi and at least i can say i've been there...the other pics just a lush toilet..

i've had a good couple of leads so far but they either get taken really quickly or you end up speaking to a chiense guy on the end of the phone who seems to not understand a word i say let alone the other way round, all i could get out of him was the room number (which is was usluse due to the fact that he didnt understand i needed to street name and building number as well) and something about asking if i wanted to buy dvd?!?!?

Anyway, mid-writing this blog i'm in the middle of updating my CV with the acknoledgement that i've now got my RSA license, the course was easy and if you fail you have to be a complete retard due to the fact that you have the answer booklet infront of you anyway. Even so i need it before i do anything in bars so meh, spend money to make money and all that rave.
