Another week gone.....

Well the last week hasn't been to exciting for us....though we did get that job that we went to the interview for! So every morning we have been at work at 7:45a.m. and working until 3:00p.m. We worked for B Smart Communications which is an independant broker company who monitors all of the major phone companies here. So it was our job to call people and tell them about what the phone companys are doing to them. I guess they have to pay $30-$40 a month for line rental...I dont think we pay that in Canada. So it basically consisted of sitting on a computer all day and getting hung up on. It sucked but we thought we would stick it out because the hours were good, until we got our first paycheck. lol. Its based on commission and so its impossible to get a good wage until you are pretty experianced at it. So we decided that was enough and tomorrow we are going to find a different job. Everywhere here is hiring and so we are just going to find something that is more exciting. It has been really windy here the past couple of days because it is the cyclone season right now. We are too far south to get a cyclone here but up north they are having crazy rain storms and in one day they got a meter of rain...can you imagine that?!? They dont cancel school here because of snow, they cancel because of rain! It has already destroyed buildings so its a pretty big storm here right now. We are just getting the winds but still its so hot out. Saturday we went to the next town which is about ten minutes away called Broadbeach. They have this HUGE shopping center thats half inside and in the middle its cut out and everything is outside. There are so many stores and so much to look at so we spent the whole day there. We then went to the movie theatre here to see Dreamgirls...it cost us $30 for two people! A little bit more expensive then home! Today (Sunday) we went golfing again at the same course we were at before. Tandris golf club fell apart today as he was taking a shot, and it went just about as far as his ball did. haha. So tomorrow we are going to job hunting and see what we can find. Then we are probably going to lay on the beach and have a picnic. We havent gone swimming in the ocean yet because we are still too scared! Last week they shut the beach down that is only like 10 minutes away because there was a hammerhead shark...so we are hoping it did not make its way down to our beach! We are going to buy some body boards and try that out too....surfing looks way to hard. We have been looking on the internet a lot of places to travel while we are here. The family that we met a couple of weeks ago live in McKoy, Queensland which is right by the great barrier reef and they have invited us to come and stay with them for a couple days. McKoy is way north so while we are up there we are going to go to Airlie Beach which is also in the Whitesundays which is about 74 islands that are absolutley beautiful! We are so excited to go see that part of australia.....we just have to decide when to go! We have talked to so many people about where to visit and what to go see and there is just so much to do here I dont even think in the next five monthes that we are here we are going to be able to see it all. I can't wait to see whats next to come......
