Ah, another day, another prayer

Ah, another day, another prayer for a dime. Yep, the current Jenkins scorecard says Home 1 - Away(ofgettingincome) 0.

Perhaps I should fill you all in, for those who haven't heard the whole story...

...Arriving in Oz, and thoroughly optimistic of getting a house in under a week (instead of the three it took), we were off and applying for jobs straight away. Oh. We reckoned without the rather easy going, no worries, no hurries pace of Sydney. So for this London-in-Heart boy, things are moving rather slowly on all fronts. I did actually get one job pretty quickly, doing door-to-door sales. Now this in itself wasn't half as bad as the sit-com gags lead you to believe. Especially in nice weather, with a friendly type of local behind the door, it was actually quite cool for a bloke who's reasonably healthy and very interested in psychology. However...it all went sour when they asked me to work Saturday, and I totted things up in my head and realised that I'd end up doing about 40hrs of work per week, plus 30hrs of pep-talk go-team-go BS (unpaid) with no evenings or weekends to speak of 'til kingdom come.

In short, I quit.

So I'm back, out there and searching. Wish me luck, as today I leave the house knowing not which way my legs will take me...
