I've got a job!

Finally i got off my ass and found a job.
I'm working in a juice bar in a shopping center over Christmas and new year which should be enough money to get to Tasmania in January. well that's the plan at the moment anyway.

erm for the last month i haven't really been doing anything! I worked at a juice bar at the Earthcore festival last weekend. That was pretty cool it wasn't nearly as busy as they were expecting so basically got free tickets for a festival and worked 12 hours over the whole weekend. The music was amazing it was all psy-trance, not nearly as doof doof-ie as i expected. it was pretty cool to be out in the bush looking at the stars with no light pollution and watching lightning storms in the next valley through weird green laser shows, all good.

I got a lift home with 2 stoners, they were pretty groovy till we got stopped by the police and it turned out neither of them had a drivers licence. i love how the police man just gave them a ticket and let them drive away, surly that defies logic somehow. there was the other small problem that the fuel light was on before we left camp and it was more that 40km to the fuel station. but all was good in the end.

it's getting quite hot here, with lots of big storms in the evenings. it's actually quite nice when the rain lashes down it takes the heat out of the night. the heat isn't too bad yet but people, especially old drunk men on trains, keep telling me it's only going to get hotter. :)
i have a tan, although my legs are still appalling, i burnt them and hey still didn't go brown. they seem tan resistant, maybe it's just that sheland skin not really sure what this sun thing is.
i think the reason that queensland is having water shortages is because i'm having to have at least 3 showers a day, your only allowed to water the garden on certain days but i can never remember which days are mine so i just do it in the dead of night and hope the neighbours don't dob me in.

I've done all my Christmas Shopping! how very un me to be so organised! well kinda done, i've got for my nieces stuff from Amazon which is being delivered to Shetland and my lovely sister helne will wrap it all, but it should be ok as everything is square or rectangular shaped. i quite like wrapping square things. i always wondered why they didn't put the letters q and u next to each other on a key board? who choose where the keys went anyway? i've still got to get Geoffrey something, anybody got any suggestions?

right off to make tea, i'm having stir fry. yummo

hope your all managing to fight the shopping hoards on Princes st and wrapping up warm if your even further afield.

Have a Fantastic Christmas and Drunken New Year, Catch up with you all in 2006, let me know where your at and what your up to.

love Susie
