Working
And finally, after a month or so of wasting time and faffing about, I’m employed and I have a flat. I’m living in Kensington, which is a rather nice suburb of Sydney, about 10 minutes bus ride from the city centre and 20 minutes from the beach, and I am working as a barback in a place called Establishment, which is incredibly classy and pretty awesome. Merivale, the company that owns the bar, also owns 7 other extremely cool venues around Sydney and is about to open the largest hospitality joint in the Southern hemisphere, called Ivy, which I am hoping to move into. My first shift was on Saturday, and was supposed to be 6pm-12am, but I ended up working until 4:30, then the staff all went to the club downstairs until 6am. All in all, a pretty good night.
Apart from that, life has been pretty slow. I’ve been really low on money so I haven’t been out a lot. I’ve been reading, which has been good, but for some reason most of the Harry Potter books won’t show up on my little “Now Reading” thing on the sidebar. I’m about to start book 6.
