Oh bumcakes, I admire you cause you should've accepted one of the worst jobs in the world! I mean it's personal but I'm no good at lying to people neither...and sales+by telephone... #eek# The closest job I had to this (although's not THAT close...) was doing phone surveys (questionaries) for Renault. It was hard for me not to say more than what I was told to. Like when people were telling their (sometimes quite unbelivable) stories and problems they had with Renault and you want to say "really? I can't belive this! BASTARDS!" or when, with all good attentions, they'll say to you "remember something, really, don't EVER buy a car Renault" and you want to say "oh, don't worry, after all I've heard, and a 100 people advicing me the same thing..." But the good thing is that it was still kind of fun sometimes...

Bumcakes, are you the one who's been repeatedly calling me and using and Indian accent trying to sell stuff to me? If so I hate you so much, and the next time you call im going to give you a serving!!!...lol
Kiwi, Sydney is a great place and it is true that the majority of New Zealand now live here... One of my mates who just moved from Sydney back to Christchurch is considering moving back to Sydney cause it is so boring over there... I remember New Zealand was really nice though... But that was in 1998 and i was only 10... The thing about Sydney though is that there is not that many jobs open for roadkill collecting...which is a shame... I may have to settle for a taxidermy...lol
Barbara, id be happy to coach your team, cause i just quit my last coaching job... I was turning up like 45 minutes late for every session, and i was running out of excuses, so i got in there and quit before my boss could fire me... But transport to France is going to be a problem... Do you know of any buses that go from Sydney to France?

I'm a student and now on my summer vacation I work for driving school as a secretary. I do office work and deal with customers. It's kind of boring because there aren't many customers during summer. I got nothing to do but to surf on the internet.

Hey Joel, how about you send some of your electronic equipment to Hanna in Finland, so both of you are doing something instead of being bored!!!...lol

Man!!!! I wish i could get paid to sit around surfing the net!
The thing with me is, its hard for me to get bored because im too distracted all the time, if that makes sense?
Ahhhh Barbara! We do surveys too, im currently doing both surveys and sales, sometimes i get them mixed up and phone up someone who hasnt been through the survey yet and start talking, and they're like "what?" and then i realise what ive done.
Pffft.
Our place is run like the military, we have these alarms on our phones, and if you're not dialing for like 20 seconds, the alarm goes off and someone tells you off. Its crazy, and the supervisors like to march around yelling at people quite abit, especially in the last hour.
Im not even being funny, im actually looking for jobs in shops, because at least if im stacking shelves ill be left to it and i can daydream!
OOOoooh and New zeland is the schizzle!!!! I haven't been there but i have this billy connolly tour of new zeland dvd and its amazing it made me want to go there! Got alot of history just lying around in some parts aswell.

Well, I think it would be hard to find a bus that goes from Sydney to France indeed, but the good news are that I'm in Slovenia now so I'm sure there'll be no problem to find a bus that goes here!

Man!!!! I wish i could get paid to sit around surfing the net! That's what I was thinking too, when I saw those posts! I mean what do you want more!!!!! The thing with me is, its hard for me to get bored because im too distracted all the time, if that makes sense? Oh, I see EXACTLY what you mean! haha! I'm so much like that too although I said to myself, I'll try to change that cause it happens too often that someone is talking to me for 5 minutes and at the end I don't really know what he said (that happens especialy when the person's not interesting, bosses and proffesors are often a perfect exampe lol). Our place is run like the military, we have these alarms on our phones, and if you're not dialing for like 20 seconds, the alarm goes off and someone tells you off. Its crazy, and the supervisors like to march around yelling at people quite abit, especially in the last hour. Aaaaah, you gotta get out of this place! I mean, if the vigil is in game I understand why you're haven't left yet, hehe!

hahaha! yeah i havent got out just because of the vigil, but im getting fired soon anyway!we have to get a booking an hour or we get fired i get like....a booking a day HAHAHA
and even with this job, im not saving enough money because i dont get paid enough and im getting the shit taxed out of me at the moment...
But i'll fucking swim there if i have to. I think i ought to write a letter to the queen, demanding that i want her to at least buy a decent hat with our money....or give it back Its not as if she needs the money anyway shes stinkin' rich and nearly dead.
The stupid old prune.
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry everyone! hahahaha i get abit...worked up about people like that.

But i'll fucking swim there if i have to. I never thought of this but it's a brilliant idea! I love swimming! I can swimm for hours, especialy if I don't swim too fast lol! And I love the sea, so spending a week or two in it (a week or two would be enough, right?) would be just great! But really, I read a true stroy about a guy who crossed the ocean (I don't know which one anymore) in a small boat, I don't know the english name for it but it's a really small boat, they also call it "souls seller" or something like that. Anyway, the point of this guy (what he wanted to prove) was that you can do ANYTHING if you REALLY but that means REALLY BELIVE in it! He convinced himself that he'll make it by repeating himself "I'll make it I'll make it" all the time. He went with no food and no water, he drank the sea water...and he made it! I think that later he even repeated his "adventure" with an even worse boat. Now I really got off subject, just wanted to tell the story

oh and bums, don't even remind me how some people wouldn't even notice that there's something missing on their bank acount if we took from it what we need for the vigil while we're trying to find a way...but I'm not saying we're poor unhappy melons, I'm just saying we could be happier, haha.

Oh yeah!! i know about that but i forgot the guys name i remember reading about it and thinking how scary it must have been...i think id pee myself. I guess i had better start building a boat then.....
LOL
Do you think i can get across on a rubber dingy? I could live on a bottle of sambuca.....
lol jokes.
I bet its cheaper to take a boat ride to the US cheaper because it takes longer i guess...
anyways i keep going #offtopic#
