edesday 21st May: Woke up, finished off the Cheerios, and realised its Wednesday, Whooo! Call me Sad but I look forward to Wednesdays as the Messenger is out, the weekly mag that has everything in, whats going on, people selling things, job opportunities etc for Wanaka. We did get up at 8.15 but couldnt be bothered going to Body Pump as Mike didnt sleep well, so he is going to go tonight so it tires him out and he will be able to sleep. My rash still hasnt gone which is annoying i've heard you have to pay for the doctors here so I might go to the chemist tomorrow. Mikes convinced its the Mac Makeup and I am convinced its the bed sheets. Mike went on his Bike and got 2 x free messengers sat on the bed looking for a pen which made me secretly chuckle! I grabbed him one immediately and got myself one and we both sipped out brews and circled the events, jobs, garage sales etc we were interested. I dont know why but I really enjoy circling things strange very I know! I saw a job advert for the College, 40 hours a week, doing admin, so I quickly called up and she wanted to see me straight away. I hopped in the shower at 9.25 and was at the College for 10.00! I think I've got interviews down to a tee, I know exactly what to say and I was offered the job! Great, seems like a really nice place to work and I do think I was the perfect candidate. It is only for 6 weeks and in 6 weeks the ski season starts and I start work at Tangos so its brilliant. James said that we'd be very very lucky to get above minimum wage over here as everyone with degrees and trade qualifications are working as waiters, barmen, cleaners etc including him. I am very proud to say that I am on WELL above minimum wage whooooo! Great! 8.00 - 5.00 Monday - Friday and I start tomorrow! I have like One work oufit which I will have to wear every day! Luckily i have those boots that the woman next door gave me! I drove back and told Mike the good news (I love driving that 2 litre car!) Oh and the indicators over here both work from the right, so its up for right and down for left, I keep turning the stupid windscreen wipers on every time I want to indicate left! Also the rules of the road here is give way to the right! How strange! So this I think causes problems and accidents with the English coming over. We washed up our dishes and got ready to go out. We parked out car in the all day free car park near New World Supermarket opposite the Purple Cow Hostel and went to the internet cafe. Mike then photo copied more of his C.V's and dropped them off in the very few places that we havent given them out. Didnt bother even sticking our head round the Job Ageceys office even though we walked straight passed it. We decided to eat lunch out as we wont be doing that for the next 6 weeks as I will be at work YEY!. We had lunch at Finchy's which they are doing a lunch special at the moment for $10 each which is the cheapest we have found in Wanaka, and their food is top notch restaurant food, it was delicous I had bacon burger with fries and Mike had fish pie which was reccommended. We both drank water which over here they bring over in a big bottle before you eat, this saves a few pennies. I cant decide if we should be tipping or not? We are trying to save money but if the service is good, plus I feel rude not to... But we are backpacking Himm.. what do think? Any thoughts welcome...We got back to our cottage and chilled for a bit made beef stir fry and pasta, and had ice cream and fruit for dessert. Body Pump was at 6.00 I am still aching from yesterday so I told Mike to go alone, he went and quickly returned as I think that all the classes are just girls! He's just gone out for a quick ride on his bike so I'm just writing this watching the news. First day at work tomorrow! Bit scary! oooooooh I have been reading my memory book and can remember numbers as long as this...... 2849585673904069684736729373901958736546, I got Mike to write down 40 x numbers 1-10 and then I memorised them after 5 minutes. I told them him then after the Gym I said I bet I can recite those numbers again and i did! I bet I could do them now! Thats 7 over telephone numbers! Infact I will ask Mike to test me on them when he comes back but I bet he will think that I have looked! Just a random comment I've not been wearing mascara in the day here as I cant be arsed washing it off all the time, But tomorrow for work I think I will have to do the whole lot, Foundation, blusher, lipstick, concealer, mascara, eye pencil and eyeliner. I have left my highlighter at Rimu Lane which we move into on the 27th...maybe thats I good thing! Quote of the week.... I'M STHO SUPER GLAD WE HAD THIS LITTLE CHAT BEX!
