OK, Its been a while since I properly updated this so thought I would write it at work and then just copy and paste it here. Not really sure what to say as I can't remember my last update, I know it was only brief just to upload the pictures from Christmas and New Year. Sorry the New Year one's werent the best, blame my camera, seems to take pants photos in the dark, stupid thing!!! How is everyone back home, hope your all had good Christmas's and New Years and the New Year is going well for you all. i'm sure the fact that I've been sunbathing in 35+ degree weather over here while the rest of you have been freezing your bits off, makes you feel very happy hahaha Things are going good down under, living with a good bunch of people and all is good, even if we do literally live in each others pockets. We've had a new guy move in this week, he's Scottish, all we need is a welsh person to move in and we've got our own mini British Isles hahhahahaha Thie irish girl, Sarit moved out last week, which was quite sad but life is so hectic at the moment that don't have time to sit and think about it all. I'll be the next one to move out thought I think, I finish work a week on Sunday so will be out of a job so will be a much needed kick up the bum to get my stuff in gear adn go fruit picking. The whole fruit picking thing seems like its going to be an adventure all by itself, John (the scot that has moved in) spent a month doing it and he was exhausted by it and he's built like the proverbial brick house so god knows what's gonna happen to me!!! Although I may come back all muscley and ripped - that would be cool!!!! There's a girl at work called Kat and she wants to do it as well so might be going with her and staying in New South Wales to do it. After that I will probably come back to Sydney to sort out my Visa extention and then head down to Melbourne. By the time I come back though I think Jules and the others will have moved on so looks like it will be make to making friends. Work it's self is kinda p00, am starting to thank lucky stars that am only here for another week and a half. The team leaders and most of the people here are idiots, i mean some are ok (the temps and most of them have gone now) but everyone else is just an idiot. It's like working in an office with people who really really love their job and don't like people who see it as just another call centre!!!!! They try to make it fun to work here by bribing us with things like Johnnie's Bar - the management go and buy a HUGE amount of alcohol and then give it us for free when we finish work, so we all get drunk in the office break out area, which is cool but a little unsettling, but the rest of the time this place is crap. Not allowed to read books, not allowed to use your phones, got so many people breathing down your neck every 5 minutes, either listening to your calls or doing a screen watch. I mean I can understand it for perm memebers of staff but if your gonna treat your temps like 2nd class workers then you cant expect them to really put all the time and effort into things. Sory having a bit of a rant. Think have got that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), today is the first rainy day we've had in WEEKS and its sent me all depressed. Went through all my pictures on my ipod, kinda miss my old life. I miss working at npower (never thought I'd say that!!), I miss gettin wasted in the Barley Ho and moaning about people, miss house parties at the flat with me and michelle, miss gettin wasted on Hurst St with my Sister, i miss winding up Reiss & Charlie, I miss ignoring people's phonecalls so I could spend the whole weekend attached to my PS2 playing games in my room. I miss just being able to see everyone and now be on the other side of the world and miss everyone!!!!! Wish could click fingers and have my old life back but that's not gonna happen is it. I know I'm just having a bad day and things are getting to me at the moment, this whole thing has stopped feeling like a holiday now, I've settled and I don't want to be settle just yet, I wanna be drunk a lot and lying on a beach on some secluded island, not sat in an off-white office staring out at grey clouds. I know this is one big experience but I think I need to get out and start experiencing it again!!! Thanks for listening, feel I needed to vent out. I promise my next update will be a lot more happier! Tim xxx
