First things first.

There is a guy right across from me in the cybercafe looking at vast amounts of amateur pornography. Like, he's got some program running that's displaying a pic every second. He's been at it for half an hour, just clicking through, doing nothing else. Porn, porn, porn, porn. This man is a porn machine. I have never seen so many women tied to beds or so many close ups of soiled knickers. I don't know what to think, my fragile little mind has been shattered.

ANYWAY.

The job.

I'm pretty sure I've told everyone here about it, but just for those more casual members of the audience, or someone I havn't had the chance to ring, I'll go over it. Also, I'd feel weird if I didn't go over a big detail like that in my blog. Seeing as I've covered everything else.

So yeah, working on a wheat storage facility. We have metal bunkers that we first have to line the floor with plastic that we sew together and bolt to the walls. We then tip a couple of thousand tons of wheat on to it and when there's enough of it, we cover it up with a giant tarpaulin. I know it doesn't sound it, but it is pretty tough going.

The worst bit is the times, currently I'm working 6am until 2:3opm, which doesn't seem that bad, but the thing is the job's two hours away from the city, so I get the bus at 4am which involves waking up at at 3am. I tend to get back at around 5pm. On a good day.

Recently, I have not been having good days. Whilst the money *is* awesome, the overtime is not. Tuesday and wednsdays were 14 hour shifts, (as apposed to the eight hour standard) which saw me getting back at 10pm instead of 5pm. Giving me the choice of either sleep enough or eating enough.

Still, the money's good.

AND THAT, is why I havn't been on this blog in forever, the hours are so ridiculously anti social that it barely gives me any time to do much else outside of the essentials.

I'm giving it a week or two until I build up enough dosh to move on to Perth or Freemantle, then see how things go with that. Hopefully, better.

In other news, that guy is still looking at porn.

Laters,
