the price of fish
do you know what happens when you actually pay waitresses for services rendered? The price of the meal increases. And if you pay them $15/hr as a normal wage, the price of the meal increases DRAMATICALLY. Oh, for cheap labor.
Can't we get some illegal immigrants over here as a cheap labor pool?
Weekends are slow without a car. So far, none of the people I know want to go out on the town with me. I'm not talking about getting drunk or stupid, I just look for more on my weekend than watching two episodes of Sex in the City and then going to bed at 9:30, which is the girls (other interns) idea of a wild night.
At least one of the girls ( on the show) was topless, for 2 seconds.
Hot.
So I can stand 30 C and 70% humidity, but not when I have to be in the sun most of the day performing manual labor.
If the GBR wasn't a cool 24 C I wouldn't put up with this job.
OH! I got stung my a jellyfish the other day! It was ironic because I was wearing a stinger suit, and everything.
Wasn't a bad sting...I mean, it stung, and then burned for a few hours, but not too bad. Like burning a finger, I guess. I still have the mark on my skin, even though I don't feel it anymore. Oh, it happened on an area of exposed skin.
I want to go fishing, and bushwalking. It would be so much EASIER if I had a car.
So yeah, I'm boring. I get to work by 7:00, work until 6:00, get home and eat, and pass out by 8:30. Such is my life. At least lunch is free ( and healthy) though on the other hand, the lunch menu never changes, either.
Hmmm....yeah, don't have much in the way of stories, I guess. Except that it seems every single bar here has coyote night. Remember the movie? Scantily clad women dancing on the bar? Haven't seen it because it happens at 9:00 on a tuesday night (see above regarding sleep) but still, it's something to look forward too when I get in shape.
Strangely...the cutist girls here all seem to be tourists. And not american tourists, at that.
Though it is strange to be in a society where obesity is the exception, not the rule.
