Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card. I don't so I work

Cool. So work is getting better. With each day that I am there, I learn more and more new and exciting things. Like today I learned to pretend to be extremely busy and 'taking initiative' when the big bosses are around. Which I already knew. I just didn't know who those exact people were. I guess pretending to work is a universal thing. I was also left alone at the bar for a few hours. Which I thought was great! I'm beginning to feel more and more like a real bartender everyday. Even if it is just pouring a shit ton of wine and pints of beer.

Although, I am surprised that they keep leaving me alone to tend the bar. Well I am and I'm not, I mean hello, bitches got mad skills yo. But they haven't actually taught me anything. MY first day I came in and just started working a normal shift. They did however teach me how to make coffee, Which I fucked up multiple times. But there is a HUGE difference in the way they make coffee here. And it is absolutely fantastic. You will definitely want to soy milk in your pants from it.

I was able to try one of our Lattes today. I had it pretty late though and now I can't fall asleep at 2:30 in the morning. #dumass. But the Latte was sooooo good. My manager told me that Australians are oh so serious about their coffee, and I can truly understand why. There is definitely an art that they use in making it. I will never see coffee the same way again.

I also found out that we can accept tips there. We just shouldn't expect it. Which is fine because I pretty much feel like I'm making bank, But when I get that non-resident tax taken out, I will quickly realize I am not. Which is why I will be working a good 60-70 hours a week, LOL.

But seriously folks, the non-resident tax is no joke. It's a seriously unfunny 32.5%. I know. It hurts just thinking about it. But I will hopefully get it all back, then spend half in liquor, because them prices is no joke either. LOL. Ok. here's another picture.


So here is one of the 'Baths' that we went to at Coogie Beach. I think the Baths are the coolest things around. What it is, is a blocked of portion of the ocean that you can swim in. I know it doesn't sound that cool, but it essentially works like a pool that uses the ocean water. 



Here is a super artsy picture of the bridge, And when I say super, I mean basic. But it can totally be a puzzle or a desktop background. Guess my 1 semester of photography is finally paying off. What What??


And here is the bridge at night. Nothing clever to say for this one. It's just a really nice picture.

  1. I think the picture of the bridge would make a cool puzzle too... If you wanted to get Ezequiel a really (and I mean really) cheap and easy gift, I know he wouldn't mind the bridge puzzle lol.
