12.07.10 NZ - Queenstown just talking sh!tThis week I have been working a lot again and did 43 hours which was a little tiring. The job itself is such hard work and pretty awful to be honest. Cleaning up after other people is not my idea of fun but only 3 more weeks and then I get to wear a pretty dress and train as a Duty Manager, can't wait. As the company also sells some of the tours I will get to go on them for free so I know what I am selling, YIPPEE. Really...

As I write he is at a second interview for a place in town called Searle Lane Social. It is a bar not...
