Still Working

G'day mates. I's been a while since I have posted something on my blog so I will try and fill in the gaps of the last few weeks. My last post I told you all that I started training to be a door to door salesman. It was all commision work and the first three days were all unpaid training and by the end of the week I had made 4 sales and thus made all of 100 dollars in the week. So when I got offered a new warehouse job starting that monday with a consistent hourly pay I dropped the sales position and began working for at a warehouse for a toddler and children clothing line called Bright Bots. It is the start of a new clothing season so they are getting a container full of boxes with the new line of clothes coming in everyday so I've been hired for a short term to help with the demand. Basically I sort all the boxes that come in and then once we've done that I have to pick orders for each store that buys the clothes from the company so I will take a package from each type of new clothes we got in and put it all together with everything else the store wants and we ship that off to stores all over Australia. It sounds like a boring job but the people I work with are a lot of fun so it makes the days go by quick. I start at 630 am and work till 230 in the afternoon so i also get most of my afternoon to do what I want as well. I've doing that job for the last 2 weeks now, and this last week I got offered the sweetest job of all time! A person I met up with in Brisbane is friends with someone who runs risk management at all kinds of big sporting events and concerts. And ACDC was in Brisbane this last week on there Black Ice Tour. So he got me a job helping set up for the concert and working at the concert. I got to work two days before the concert happened helping to make sure the stadium it was being played in was totally safe. Because the job of risk management is obviously to reduce the risk of the patrons at the event. So i did things like ensure all the fire hoses and fire extinguishers were checked up to date and working properly. Then on Thursday and Saturday I got to go to the concerts they played. It was so cool. During the concert my main duties were to stand on a staircase and if anyone fell down the stairs to help them out and call over any paramedics when needed. But, essentially i got paid to go to ACDC so that is just awesome. I didn't get to watch all of it because of what i was doing but i heard the whole thing and got to see some of it when i went on break. And after the show on Saturday night as ACDC was leaving the stadium I was able to get the lead singers autograph and talk to him a bit as he was getting into his car to leave! So this job has been making me money and is also now one of the highlights of my trip. That was last night, and now I will go back to just working my warehouse job for probably another week before moving on.

I hope you all are doing just swell back at home. Cheers

Getting to work

Whats up people? I'm doing awesome still, and spent last week job hunting. I start training to be a door to door sales person for a marketing company tomorrow. So we'll see how that goes i suppose. I would be asking ppl to switch from there current electric company to a new one called Electric Australia. So yes, i'm one of those annoying ppl ringing your door bell to sell stuff. haha. I haven't done a whole lot other than looking for jobs the last while. On thursday i went inland to a town called Dalby and got to see a different side of Australia rather than the big coastal cities i saw little towns like Hague and cattle ranches and stuff. So that was nice to do. I've toured the city of brisbane quite a bit, and i got to drive on the left side of the road for the first time, which was pretty cool. Its not that hard really, just got get used to having the centre line of your right side instead of left and your golden. I don't have much other exciting things to talk about so that's all for now. See ya
