Australian Open 2009It was time to earn a bit of money today after more weeks of fun. But then working at the Aus Tennis Open was not exactly going to be hard work! I was working in the staff cafe which initially I was disappointed with but in hindsight was much better as it was more relaxed, every one was a great laugh, and we had a full length view of the Hisense Arena, which is the second best court, so we could watch all the matches!
