Today I worked at Pica. My shift started at 11 am. It took about an hour to get there. It’s in the Port Lands sorta area of Melbourne, just south of the CBD.
I really prefer work where I don’t have to get up early. Tomorrow the Jim’s Mowing shift starts at 7:30 so I’ll be up at 6 so that I can have breakfast and coffee.
The guys I was working with today were really nice. The boss guy is really upset that I’m leaving in a month. They keep talking about how I should stay and work for them. I don't they understand that I can’t stay, even if I wanted to. I have to leave. But it’s definitely flattering.
It makes me think that I’d like to do similar work in New Zealand. I really wanna work where I’m around girls my age. You don’t really get that with the labour jobs. It’s always guys.
Today is my second day of not drinking. It’s funny because today I could have gotten wasted for free if I’d wanted to. We were basically just moving cases of beer around. A lot of it was being thrown out because it was recently expired. One of the guys I was working with must’ve had like 8 beers while we were working. He just kept cracking them open. He was even taking beers that weren’t expired. The boss guy didn’t seem to mind.
They took me out to lunch and bought me a panini. I thought that was really nice. The boss guy sorta reminded me of David Brown from the Fox. Like David mixed with Jayme from next door in Toronto.
I feel like as I travel I meet different versions of the same people. Like similar people in different bodies.
