Just a quick update from down under. My packing job interview was successful and started the new role on Tuesday. I had to also attend a fitness test to get this job, not to sure why you need to show people that you can do numerous star jumps and squats. I have been scheduled on the late shift 4.30pm - 2am) which is a bit of a pain, but i have asked to change to the early shirt(fingers crossed).

I have met two people from Taiwan who are my row mates and we often stop for chats which makes the day go quicker. I have an interview tomorrow for an orange packer/sorter job.

Living cheaply and enjoying the day time weather. Had to buy some wamer clothes as not so hot in the South :(. Well off to the job place again tomorrow, to sh...
