So it's coming up to the end of week three and I'm still unemployed. I've been handing out CV's all over the place and applying for jobs online but nothing has come up yet. Oh well, I expect something will come along soon, I hope. So far I have managed to spend a lot of money, although I have got some of the things that I need, or things that will be useful. First off, I've got an RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) which allows me to work in a bar or place that sells alcohol. Secondly I have a Blue Card, which allows me to work on a construction site. I completed a first aid course today, so that will add to my repertoire. I boubht a road bike at a police auction recently, which cost me $140, and I had to spend another $350 fixing it up - but it's a far cry from about $1000ish I would have had to spend on a brand new one. So I've got myself some transport and a few licences that increase the availability of jobs to me. I've also bought myself a new badminton racket so I can carry on playing over here, and got membership at the local gym/pool too.
I've taken a few photos since I've been here, so click here to view them. The weather seems to be looking up which is good, there was some crazy rain recently, I had washing out for about three days, just waiting for it to dry. Anyway, I did manage to get this small job, basically going round and putting up posters on walls and in shops etc. (probably illegally), which I managed to complete today. If they are satisfied then they'll give me tickets to see Pharoah Monch, Pendulum, some low-fi festival, and VIP tickets to a festival on new year's eve, which would be cool, oh, and $100. It was hard work though, I had to walk/cycle for bloody miles with a bag full of posters and flyers. It's over now so I can relax.
So everything is going pretty swell, asides from the unemployment thing, but I'm sure that'll be over soon. Can't think of anything else to say right now, so ta-ta!
