Tony had some work, not much, but he wasn't out of a job as long as me. But when an opening came up at his job and he saw new people on the bus he was raging, so he text her a message asking what the hell was going on. She text him back that the reason she wasn't giving me work is because she can't have me standing around all "catlike" (?????)
This really upset me as any job I've had I've always worked very hard, because I know out here as you're casual labour they don't hesitate to get rid if you're not pulling your weight. Anyway, went in for a rant and the shouting and swearing route got me what I wanted.
Next thing she tries to purposely rip me off with rent by $600 dollar! Duno what her problem was. Either way, we're well outta there! Hurrah!
We had a call from our pal saying he had work for us in Maffra, Victoria. With the little money we had we'd blow pretty much everything on getting there so it was a risk. Bollocks to it, bought a decent motor for $1k and then we drove down here and checked into the hostel. At $170 each per week AND it was dorms (!!!!!) it was a no goer from the start. We spent two nights in the hostel and we were so miserable!! All we wanted was somewhere to relax and chill out and have a natter and when you're sharing a room with 8 others its impossible. We'd just spend all day sat in the car discussing how miserable staying in dorm rooms makes us. We'd leave the hostel as soon as we woke up, then return only to sleep. Haha sad bastards!
Well we've worked two days at the job so far. We just walk or crawl down rows of lettuce and pick out the weeds. We get paid $930 dollars per week, each. Easy money!!!
Yesterday we'd decided enough was enough and we needed to get out of the hostel. We drove around for hours looking at caravan parks, campsites, estate agents (which were all closed!!).. As a last ditch attempt, after thinking we'd tried all the keywords on Gumtree, I took a punt at 'house share', thinking having our bedroom would be enough, we wouldn't mind sharing the rest of the house. Well we dropped lucky! I just dialled the first option that came up from the search and as it turns out the guy answered straight away, we went to see the house, $180 rent between us, fully furnished, ready to go. We arranged it there and then and we went to collect our stuff. And the best part is it's a five bedroom situation with no one else living here. Place to ourselves. Good times!
... Our own gaff, a great paying job, a car, brew, smoke and an XBox. Ahhh this is the life..
