Employed

You may or may not know that since leaving university a few monhs ago, I have gone to Australia, Hong Kong and Edinburgh, and not done much to get a job.. Today however I entered the workd of work. Not unfortnatly as a professional biomed, but instead as a barmaid, but work is work is work.

I do already need to take time off though, I have to go and perform the sow which me and my friends worte for Edinburgh in fresher's in October so the question is, to ask for time off or feign an illness, decsions, decisions, decisions.

Everybody seems nice at the bar, and there are lots of young'uns to keep me entertained when all my friends abandon m for university and girlfriends. Fingers crossed for some good looking boys though, I am still in the midst of "boy trouble" but another boy might be worth more trouble!

Anyhoo i'm going to finish my inane ramblings now.

Edinburgh

I just came back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was all types of awesome, we saw some awesom comedy, performed some awesome comedy, and met some awesome comedians.

Meeting Nemo

So today I thought I'd tell you a story from my Awesome Australia (tm) trip, obviously Australia being awesome leads to many awesome stories but the one I will tell you today is particularly awesome as it involves an italian and a turtle.

Me and Sarah had decided tht whilst in Australia we could not pass up the chance to see the Great Barrier Reef, and go snorkling on it (in it?), with that in mind we booked our flights and headed up North to the warmer climates of Queensland. Once there we set sail upon the boat Quicksilver to the reefs off the coast of Cairns. Me and Sarah decided we only wanted to go snorkling, as we were flying back to Sydney pretty quickly, and it's not particularly safe to go scuba diving and then go flying straight after.

We went out on our first snorkling session of the day with no problems, I wasn't killed by anything which is always a good start to any trip. After the first snorkling session however we had a talk from our snorkling guide Andre, he was talking about turtles, very enthusiastically, as he was Italian there was much hand waving an gesticulating and punching the air to achieve the deisired impact and importance of what he was saying.


"What do you NOT do when you see a turtle?" Andre asks us (us being the beused tourists)

".....touch them" Some one suggests nervously from the back

"No this is fine. What you must not do, is RIDE THE TURTLES!!!"


Damn! Now what was I meant to do with my turtle harness?

Who the hell is riding the turtles that Andre felt the need he had to explain that to us? I don't know, but I sure would like to meet him and shake his/her hand.

Cupcakes

I made cupcakes today, some had caramel icing, some had lemmon icing, they're pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Maybe I should become a baker?

Jobs etc.

Hi Guys,

I didn'tforget you all whilst I was away in AWesome Australia (tm) it's just every tineI tried to log on the sign in sheet was in Chinese, and I can not even utter a word of Chinese let alone read it!

So expect stories and anacdotes galore in the coming days, but forst let me tell you a story of woe about my two younger sisters (Miss Persona II and Miss Persona III) they, like any responsible teenagers in their summer break attempted to get jobs to cover their exepnses (such as drinking and buying shoes) and agreed to do a route delivering Thompson Directories, they soon relaised that doing the route and abidinh to the terms of contrqact would wind up with them being payed £1 an hour, and apparetnly salve labour was abolished in England. So shame on you Thompson's Directory, Shame on you.
