Hungry Jack's Rejection

Well well. We're in the new house now and it is an epic house. We have a pool that we haven't used because it's so dirty, a massive TV that we barely watch because it's next to our landlord's room and no door. Well, the house has a door (with a keypad!) but our room is just up a flight of stairs. It seemed adventurous when we moved in but now it's just annoying because of the noise. Last night I was coughing a bit and this morning our landlord offered me some cough medicine. His room is a floor down and on the other side of the house.
Everything's been a bit gloomy today. I must have applied for over thirty jobs by now. Jon has been rejected by Hungry Jack's (Australian Burger King) but I've heard nothing so maybe they're considering my application. Part of me hopes not. It's been cold today too and we've worked out that the washing machine didn't actually wash our last load, it just made them wet as it flooded the outhouse so they all smell a bit still. But they only start to smell after you've left the house and you're on the way to chat to someone about a job. It's like they know...
More job applying tomorrow. Fun fun. We're employing a tactic of walking up and down rows of shops tomorrow instead of applying by phone or online. Maybe it will change our fortunes but so far I want to ditch Australia, write it off as a loss and head on to Asia. But it's not been all bad. While Jon's been online I've had plenty of time for computer games. Bad day.

  1. Great to hear how things have been going - keep up with the blog i enjoy reading it :)

    Also, heads up with the jobs - try to keep at it. And don't take rejection from various fast food places as insult - i bet they just think youre over qualified with a load of degrees between you and can do far better :) x x x
