There's a lesson to be learnt here kids...
Don't ever prematurely assume.I assumed and it has now made an ass out of u and me. Well mostly me, definitely not U at all, really.
Y'know I changed the location yesterday to Brisbane? Well, that was premature. We changed it to save myself the effort of changing it today when we got there. And now i've had to change it back. KNOW WHY? Because Luke got a glass of water earlier! Thats why!
We were all ready to check out, hang around for a little bit before getting the bus from the lodge to get our Greyhound coach, and Luke went to get a glass of water. I saw one of the members of staff talking to him and went over because I heard her say the word "work". LOL.
So I went over, and she told us that there would be two jobs available at the end of the week possibly, and she was letting us know because she knew we asked about it a few days ago.
It's a work for accomodation again, but we also get free meals (and thats not just one crappy backpacker meal at a bar in the town a la Cairns REEF BACKPACKERS!...yeah, i'm talking about YOU! It's a breakfast AND dinner this time, which is good) and free internet...so plenty of skyping! :-D And also free drinks sometimes when the manager thinks we've worked hard and deserve it ;-)
We had a chat with him and he took a general interest in what we were doing before we came travelling, and a general interest in us in general. He seems like a really cool guy, and all the staff seem genuine!
Our job would be to help out in the kitchen, either washing up or waitressing.It's a 6 day a week thing, but we only do a few hours each day.
We also get FULL training to do loads of different things in the kitchen, to do with waiting, and general customer services. That's cool because we can take those skills with us in order to land a paid job further down the coast maybe!
We'll be staying in an apartment with the rest of the staff which is cut off from the rest of the building.
So,imagine if Luke hadn't have gone to get that glass of water!
Luke also fell UP... not down, the stairs earlier HAHAHAHAHAHA. That's probably karma coming back to bite us on the bum for playing an April fools prank yesterday...I wonder what my turn is...i'll probably fall over while bringing food to a table and land on the table or something, getting the food all over myself in the process. To be fair though, even i'd laugh if that happened.
So there we go...we'll update more when we know more! At the moment we're waiting a few days to start training, and we'll probably start work on Good Friday! :-D
