Saturday i was up at 545 (killer) and picked up at 630 to go to the hostel. There was me and another girl from the house (german) and we went and met 3 other girls that were going to a fair at tumut with us to work. 2 of them were german also and the other italian. We set off at half 7 on our journey. One of the germans drove and i sat in the front and navigated. We landed at our destination at half11 ish (we tok a wrong turn a couple of times at one point as the instructions were abit hazy and the girls doubted me(i was right tho). We met 'Tony joe' who was our bos for the day. He told us what we would be doing so i spent the day in the kitchen marque cooking chips in a fryer al day! it was good fun actually. I met some god catering people and was also given a card if i wanted a job! The girls worked either at the front of the stall giving the chips away or making popcorn and snowcones! The fair was 'Visy', a huge manufacturer of cans, cardboard, labels etc, promoting something. They paid for everything so all the food was free for everyone, as were the few fairground rides that were there. Food stalls were gourmet burgers, curries, pizzas, hot meat sarneys so quite a selection. Tony joe told me he owned everything there and was incharge, turns out he is a pikey and didnt own any of it! We finished clearing up at half7 ish and had some food before setting off back. I was meant to drive but the itlian girl said she loved driving and wanted to drive back so i navigated again. Turns out she was an AWFUL driver and couldnt have made the journey worse! We stopped off at 'wagga wagga' were tony gave us our wages ($20 hour was good) and then set off again. We stopped off at a service station for a toilet break were the police puled in and asked me what i was doing and if i had been in trouble with the police before or not before driving off! We got back just after 1-i was suicidal. In to bed i went.

Today i was up at half 7 ready for half 8 which turned out to be 10 before i was picked up! I was off to pick oranges. There was me and 2 italian guys and we got picked up buy a korean guy called roy. We got a brief Explanation on what to do and then we started. We had gloves on and big bags on the front of us which we had to fill and then empty into a MASSIVE blue tub, about 2ftx2ftx1ft. We were told we had to leave the small oranges and for every tub we filled we got $21. Easy i thort...i was wrong. Between half10 and 3 i did just over 1 tub! I finally got into it when we had to stop for some reason. I was told that i was too slow as he could do 1 every hour (he has been doing it for 3.5yrs) and i was picking them wrong. He said he would show me properly tomoz. The 2 italian guys did 3 between them and were not happy at all. They wanted to speak to the farmer as he was italian too but after much arguing with'roy', they didnt! So i did one tub which earnt me $21, minus $6 for him picking and dropping us off leaving me with $15 for a days work! Ill give it a few more days then see what happens with other jobs! Worst was that i had to walk 15mins from where he dropped us off and it nearly killed me.
