OK. this is more a note to myself.

In the company here one of the departments were having a chilli eating competition last week. this week it was mustard. We were told about it last week, but not invited, but this week they made a point of inviting us.
A list was going around of who said they would partake, the last entry being: "The strange Irish guy from imaging..." myself.

so i did it, along with another lad thhat works with me, Joelii.
5 quid in, winner takes the pot.

they started off with a milder hot english mustard, and putting a small amount on the end of the spoon. then half a teaspoon full, then a full, then they changed to the hotter of the mustards where we took a half teaspoon... found out that it was the milder of the 2 so went back to the previous.
then he who was judicating started measuring out heaped teaspoons, i think we got 2 of them, and the last 3 of us our of the 10 that were left, who werent being affected at that stage atall, decided that we would just split the money down the middle. 15 dollars each way
earned an extra 10 dollars for like 30min work. not bad... at that stage

I am *not* feeling well ! been on the toilet since ! :( suggestion... dont do a mustard eating comp ! :) they have wasami on the menu for next week.
i never heard of it... so when i was out in the main production where they all were, being the strage irish guy when they offered me to taste it, and after a few him's and haw's and holding my stomach, i decided to try it.
The group of them that were around, i found out, were watching me keenly to see if i actually was mad enough to taste it. they enjoyed that show.

i wont be doing the wasabi comp!

right.
its friday night at 9:30pm. I got to work at midday, and will be here until 11pm. then im in again at 7am tomorrow morning until prob about 3pm!... not really complaining complaining... cos i do need the money but i will be tired !

Not much is happening this side of the world to report at this time.
heat is still hot !, ads are still every 2 minutes on tv, the hill from the bus stop to my apartment is still at the same angle.

I didnt get any brekkie this morning... i was going to go for macdonalds but i dont think that worked out... no it didnt. i got a call to come in earlier than i expected kinda threw me. had a subway for lunch, and i think pizza is on the menu for dinner. there is a dominos right at the end of my road ! and its closer than mcdonalds... and its open later at the weekend ! :)
i dont know what i have... but at least i know im going to ask for garlic, and fresh chilli(i ask for that to be put on any pizza i get!)

Ive been feeling down for the past couple of days, loads of things suppose. heat change, money(though not so much). need to just get out of the rut! hmmm maybe by typing it it will get me out of the rut! hmmm... ill see how i am for the next post.

seems one of the girls that i met in eBay that came to australia a few months before me, got her self a nice "german porn model" and has been travelling everywhere will be ending up in brisbane in a few weeks ! should be a good laugh ! cant wait for a pissup davina !

I ordered a 1gb XD card for my digital camera, and it should be here by today or tomorrow. so hopefully will start going a bit photo mad soon ! the payment bounced from my bank account and now my australian Paypal account is in negative balance ! ah well !... lucky i know that if the account is in negative balance for 180 days it will be limited and wont be able to recieve or send money until the negative balance is restored, after 270 days the account will be locked and the money will need to be send my cheque or postal order to Paypal themselves, then the account can be unlocked and i can get back into it. and yes it is silly to stop a paypal account recieving money if the account is in negative balance... but yeah ! they may even have changed that by now *shrugs* ill settle it up later on.

ack scanner stopped scanning... need to fill up the input... brb
OK granted that was a little longer than i suggested... but yeah i did some other work.



One of the lads made a good point today !...
one of the girls will be going away for maybe a month of two and i may be gone by the time she comes back. and i said that monday(being the last day we are working together) may be the last day we ever see each other.
He said that that would be one of the hardest things about travelling, in that i would make friends then at the end i would inevitably be leaving them prob never to see them again.
What ever would happen if i were to find a certain someone that i did care alot about... it would only end up in me having to say good bye to her. a heart ache waiting to happen ! ?

Well firstly I uploaded two more sets of photos.
Fraiser Island and Whale Watching when I was in hervey Bay.
New Years Eve 2007 - Brisbane.

It was a quiet xmas, which is good I suppose. did go out much due to lack of funds, but the bottle of jack daniels and bottle of vodka kept us gainfully employed for xmas eve and xmas afternoon. New Years went much the same. there were fireworks in SouthBank that we ended up going to which were pretty good. I got a few photos from it, but it seems that they are blurry... and I did only get a hand ful of them since my memory card was full ! ah well. I enjoyed it though.

In work today for 4 hours(need to wait for the bus at 7) and wont be working for the rest of the week now it seems. back in next monday, but I was told that there will be alot of work, so that will get the money flowing in again. which is a necessity.
