Things have been looking up in the past couple days. My friend Jill showed up on Thursday and I also found out that my other friend Melissa is living here in Perth so both Jill and I have been crashing at her house. It is VERY nice to not be in a hostel for once. I also didn't realize how much I missed talking to people I know. I made some friends in the hostel, but it's much less work talking to someone you've known for a few years.; you just feel more relaxed.
We went out to a party that Melissa's friend was at last night and met a couple of nice guys. I am 90% sure they offered me an instant job working at the fish market they run. I am not positive due to a very delicious bottle of wine. It sounds like a nasty job, but Jill told me that the minimum wage is $18 here so two hours work would cover food and lodging for a day and the rest would be gravy. I am not above doing shit jobs until I can find a good geology position. At the very least I can stop budgeting quite so tightly and eat more than one meal a day.
It is Melissa's 24th birthday today so we are going to celebrate tonight, which means I need to go for a run and burn of the remnants of last night before things get under way. I am sure that all of you reading this are thinking that I sound like an alcoholic, but red wine is good for the heart, so I am really just trying to be healthy. Cheers all.
