The holiday is over for the moment & it's time for some work!...........If you are lucky enough to find a job that is!

Funny in small towns, its all word of the mouth!

Our second day in town & we headed to Mitre 10 looking for a bolt that had fallen out of the hitch thing on the caravan, trust us, this bolt is rare & extremely hard to find!

Anyway we started magging to Doug who works at Mitre 10, the conversation diverted away from the bolt & onto us looking for some part time work, anyway we left him with our phone number.

Back in the truck a few minutes later & Marks phone rang, i answered, the voice on the other end says...... Hello Sharon it is Doug from Mitre 10, i have some names for Mark, of builders looking for help!

Great thanks Doug, Mark & I are thinking......Wow Doug is a bit handy to know, the next day he rang with more!

Oh Boy Husband..... You are going to be very busy!!

                                                        
               Here i was thinking, i would land the first job!

 When we arrived in town we went to the local supermarket & stocked up on supplies,  i said to mark, wouldn't it be funny if there was a Rockmans in here, as i have worked in Rockmans back home & loved it....Well blow me down there is a Rockmans in the plaza, as we went nearer to the shop i spotted a  position vacant sign in the window.......Oh my goodness, wow how good is this i am thinking!!! I went in & enquired, it sounded fantastic until, she said the position is for 5 hours per week!
How ridiculous is that @ $15 p/h!! It  would make me $75  a week rich!
                            How would that support my shopping fixes?????
                                             Well it just wouldn't!!!!

So on day 2, I decided to enquire with the local nursing home, how lucky for me they were looking for people, & i actually fluked an interview with them then & there,  i seriously thought i had the job in the bag! I felt confident that the interview went well & they wanted me!

NOT!
I didn't hear back from them!
Well i feel, they are not very nice!

I then thought i could place an ad in the local paper
Mrs Sheen I will Make Your House Sparkle!
Surely someone would want a house cleaner around here!
Then it dawned on me, how do i get their house, hop on the bus with my vacum & jiff under arm!!

So off to the sailing club for lunch, so i could eat & drown my sorrows away!.....I enquired there do they need staff as i have my RSA & RCG certificate...Yes the lady said just fill  out the application form, wow what a place to work with million dollar views over looking the Pacific Ocean!

Anyway as i started reading the application form it says do you have a RSA certificate for QLD.
Oh No......The NSW one i have is useless in QLD.......WHY???...Drink laws should be the same oz wide what is the difference grog is grog & people are people!!.......That meant i would have to do the course over again!

This is not looking good, especially without a car!!
Here Husband is flooded with work & i was now starting to feel very lost & dejected!!

Never giving up though, after a week & a half of asking every tom dick & harry i saw for work!

I GOT A JOB!!!
Yeeha!!!
 Right next door to our caravan park, in the fish & chip shop!!!

Now as work & holidays don't usually go together!
 We may not have a great deal of fun stuff to write about for a while!
But then again....Who knows???
Our plan is to make some money now & then on to our next destination to start the holidaying time over again!
Not sure where we are headed though?
Who Knows??

Bye for now!
It's time to go to work!!

P.S We finally got the part for the hitch, after 3 days of searching trailer mobs, caravan mobs & boat mobs everywhere, it was looking like costing us over a hundred dollars to replace this part!!!
Well Mark fluked it in of all places......Good old  Super Cheap Auto & it was Cheap!!!
