Hello all!

Its been a long time, but not a lot has really been happening! Have been working, sleeping, eating, occassionally drinking and playing table tennis, seeing a few snakes, spiders and toads, and getting burnt/tanned and peely!

I've finished working now though! I quit on Sunday! :)

Its a long story, and its not really important anymore! My supervisor is a Malaysian woman who seems to have a few issues! She hates me cos I'm staying with Bugsy and so just makes my life difficult! In fact, she makes everyones lives difficult - she doesn't like to see anyone smile, and her whole life is revolved around packing bloody zuccinis! Shes been working in a packing shed for the last 2 years, with no day off and she doesn't spend any of her money on anything - she just doesnt have a life anyway! And she has no friends! I quit on Sunday because first she got in a mard because I was packing lebanese in the air conditioned room. (There's 2 rooms in the shed, one with air con, one without. She packs blacks, not lebs, and the tub for the blacks doesn't fit through the door to the air-con room) She basically was giving me evils and putting all her energy into hating me because I was in the air conditioned room and she wasn't!Ha, and when I've been in there before Sunday, she'd get someone else to sneak in and turn the air con off, so that I wouldn't get the air con!

Haha, then, because of this, she got on her little scheming because she was annoyed at the air con issues. She purposely got two big tubs of lebs and put them in the cool room (which you need a fork lift to get out, as it weighs a ton - an actual ton!), even though she could see I needed another bin as I was nearly finished the other one (and usually she puts them next to me, ready), and refused to help me get them out. She knows I can't use the fork lift, and we had a bit of an arguement - but she was refusing to talk to me! Then I went to ask BJ to help me, but he said she'd told him not to help or speak to me again! Haha, he looked really upset as well, cos he's lovely! But he couldn't help me as she'd threatened to sack him if he did!

So yeah, I walked out! And she's in the s***! The only reason she's still working there is because the other Malasyian guy, Max, is her boyfriend, and he's like a supervisor for the pickers and he's needed!

So yeah, that was the drama! She's basically just vindictive, needs to get a life and has a bit of a problem related to power I think! Haha!

Anyway, finished there. Am owed some money and am sticking around here for a little while. The Nepal boys all (apart from 1) leave tomoro, so we've had a couple of nights to celebrate/say bye, but tonight is the last one! I'm gonna do the Yongala dive soon too, maybe Wednes or Thurs, and then down to Airlie beach after the weekend! In the meantime, I need to work on my tan because I have a big peely patch on my back that looks ridiculous!

Not a lot else going on! Have a few more pics to put on - watched one of Gary's cane fires (Gary's the guy who owns the farm and Bugsy rents it off), and George (Gary's dad) was gonna shoot a wild pig for the boys to eat, but it managed to sneak out of the fire some other way! And some of a big snake we ran over the other day. Oo yeah, I've been driving a manual car as well for the first time in three and a half years! Well, I drove it twice, and not very far, but I till drove and I'm still alive! Haha!

Think that's all for now! Will put some pics on soon :) x
