Then take the ferry to the South Island on Tuesday and try and find a bus that goes to Twizel before Wednesday and start work either Thursday or Friday.

So once more my plans on being a grown up with a fulltime job have been thwarted. But I managed to make sure I have a job for January until March at a hotel. And from march until I leave at a kiwi pack house. Now for that pesky little month known as December.
