I was put down on the roster for 7.30 -10.30 cleaning at the hostel, so that I could (with a bit of frantic getting ready) get to work at 11. However no-one came and told me what to do until 8.15, so I only cleaned the toilets for 2 hours. It's a bit harder than cleaning the Nomads toilets because they are so dirty to begin with, and the mop bucket had broken so it was quite hard to get the floor clean. On Thursday nights, people staying at the hostel get free...

Reef breakfast was a help yourself majobby, so I had a bowl of cornflakes and some toast with peanut butter on, and everyone was a bit quiet and not very talkative- I don't know whether that's just because it was the morning. Today at work, I got trained in how to open the restaurant. I do this tomorrow with Emilie again, and then on Friday I have to do it myself which I'm a bit nervous about! Because I stayed until lunch close, and came back in the evening, I...

Moved into the new hostel today. The bathrooms and kitchen are a bit grottier than Nomads, but I'm still very happy to be out of there! I'm in an all-girls dorm, and am sharing with Flo, a bar maid at P.J.'s and Stacey, who is working for accommodation as well, and has just quit her job at Novatel because she was only getting 6 hours a week. Bex came to have a chat with Stacey (the manager) about what she will be doing. She will be hosting the entertainment, s...

There was a message over the intercom for me to come to reception, and it was so that Erin and Paul could ask me about Saturday night (the fact that we were drinking beforehand). They told me I had to leave by tomorrow morning, but Paul said it was a shame because he knew I was a good worker. My $50 deposit won't be returned as Erin claims the carpet is ruined because of spilt goon. Not too bothered as I rang Reef (the place I was going to move in anyway) and i...

Erin found quite a few people's alcohol in their rooms (including my box of wine) and so I was scared of being chucked out like Alice, but luckily apparently we're just going to get given a warning, because otherwise the hostel would have no staff. It's a bit stupid really as I don't know what they expect from a hostel. Management here are very weird- it seems like the stricter you are the more they want you, and it doesn't seem like they want to satisfy the gu...
