This is my first day off from work at Portsea so I thougth i'd write a quick update.
I am really enjoying work except for the actual bit where I have to work. Still, it keeps me out of the house, keeps me busy and earns me money! My co-workers are all really, really friendly. They are:
Guy - quintessential gay guy who sings off tune loudly and constantly, thinks half the things I say are hilarious and is so easy to get along with
Wayan - the oldest worker who looks 20 years younger than she is!!! Always bringing me coffee when I'm doing dishes
Millie - At first I thought she was a bit quiet, but I think she just isn't as extroverted as everyone else, gives me lifts home every now and then
Chelsey - Guy's sister, very LOUD and dances around everywhere
Sheree - Miss Efficient!!! A bit quiet but really direct and gives good instructions
Ali - teaches me all the different afternoon jobs and is lots of fun
Jeremy and Sarah - the other two juniors
It's really hard work, I'm constantly running around but its fun because everyone else is fun to work with.
At home we are teaching Mum and Dad how to play 'MarioKart' although Mum's main concern is that she bumps into walls and they have no ambulance to save her. Oh, Mum.
My life is pretty much work in the day time and watching telly in the evenings, but AMBER is coming to visit me on Saturday and we will go to the RYE CARNIVAL! I am so excited to see her and go to the carnival you cannot believe!!!!!
I haven't been to the beach yet but that's okay since I don't really like the beach. At the house I am sleeping in a little shed we have out the back, I call it the 'mouse house' and want to let Annie (the dog) sleep in there but Mum and Dad have said N-O! Because it is outside there is all the noise from the houses around so I get the kids from the house behind who jump on the trampoline at 6am!! Silly kids.
For New Years, I am doing NOTHING! Isn't that sad? I have work at 8am the next day but, well, it's not like I have any other choices. Kate has her boyfriend down here, Jo has a million friends and Tom is happy on his own. I bought some books today so fingers crossed I can keep myself amused. Mum and Dad are making a small effort so I don't get lonely or feel left out, but with work all the time it isn't really a problem.
There is early morning yoga on the beach so maybe I'll give that a try.
I'm not on the internets often so I won't respond to emails etc.
Hope you are all well!!!
