We were supposed to ring the guy who owns the house at 9, to meet him at 10 to give him the deposit we needed to pay, but his phone was switched off, which wasn't great for me as I had my McDonalds interview at 2.15, which was right in the middle of when we needed to check out and when I had work, so I was worried that I wouldn't have time to move my stuff in between. I left my luggage in the room though, and the interview only consisted of about 4 questions (w...

It was a bit odd that Vicky from Hooked (the fish and chip shop that wanted to interview me today) just asked the same questions as she did on the phone when she rang, but I think she just wanted to meet me in person and it was probably the best interview I've had because it was more of an informal chat. Alice and Amanda went to look round an ex-motel which houses a lot of backpackers just before I went to work, and they really liked it so I said I'd trust t...

A girl from 'Hooked' fish and chips shop rang me earlier offering me an interview tomorrow, so if McDonalds don't want me, I have a backup plan!

I received a text this morning from a girl at work asking if she could work tonight's shift for me, if I did hers tomorrow, so a night off came earlier than I thought it would.

The guy showing me around owned a company that rents out to backpackers so it so...

Now I've got more into a work routine, there hasn't been that much exciting things to report back on. I saw a rabbit on a guys shoulder walking down Chapel Street. I forced Alice and Amanda to move with me to a hostel which is above 'College Lawn Hotel' pub, and which doesn't feel like a hostel but more like what it is; living above a pub. The kitchen is quite a grotty student accommodation type kitchen, so it's probably quite good motivation to get our arses i...
