Wahey 7 of us moved into a house in ultimo on friday and its great! theres like 26 people in the house at the moment, and room for 30 so its kinda wierd... obviously iv never lived with so many people before! no matter what time ur up theres always someone else around, its cool. all the people who are already there are proper nice and its ace, this one guy tom works at an ice cream store where he gets free ice cream so wer basically living off his suppplies at the moment! pistachio ice cream is the best. another guy, darryl works at a sweet shop... thats something to look forward to. That pic above is of our dining room/kitchen, ill get some more photos soon!
I went to a first day of work yesterday for this company called face2face, it was meant to be like raising money for charity on the streets - not collecting money but getting people to sign up. i kinda said yes to that job as well as another one at the same time, and want the other one more but that one started training today so i thought id go to the face2face one for one day just to see what its like and get some money. It was alright, id probably do it if i had no other jobs lined up but i dont really fancy being stood on the street for 8 hours a day having people ignoring u and walking straight past u 90% of the time.
The one i went to today was the sales & marketing one and it was pretty good actually. i was only in training for 2 hours ish, but im 'out in the field' tomorrow. im really excited about it to be honest, i mean maybe ill be crap at it and get no money at all (cuz its comission only... which is a bit crap) but i think its a really interesting field to be honest. like, my boss, naimh is proper funny and she started out as a backpacker like me 3 years ago and found herself in this job and loved it so much and now she is the head of the company, and how much she enjoys it really shows. shes really passionate about the product and the skill of selling, which is what intruiges me... like its playing with the customers mind it really is. its all psychological, to be a good sales person u just need to make the person think that ur doing them a favour, and that they want it, and that they are in control. iv got loads of info about it to read through, and she taught me the basics of like body language and how to lead the conversation and stuff to put soemone in the right frame of mind... and tomorrow wer going to a one off market thing which should be a bit mad considering iv never done it before, but ill be there with naimh and some of the other people, so hopefully ill pick it up.
Im on the free computer at IEP so id better go cz theres a bit of a queu!

There cant be 14 per room surely??and 14 more in the pool???The psycho job sounds pretty psycho especially if you dont earn any money.What about "normal"jobs in shops and offices?(sorry;typical mother comment)xxx
