Josefin is gone.

Josefin is gone. Disappeared.

Since her phone drowned helplessly in her purse when she was frolicking on the beach and it was time for tide, I haven't been able to contact her.

She doesn't respond on Facebook either.

I haven't seen any sign of survival in one week. Her family is writing me on Facebook, asking for help.

A handfull of scenarios are taking place inside my head.

• Josie went for a swim in one of Darwins many crocodile-inhabited rivers.


• The guy who offered her 300AUD for a shag kidnapped her.


• This time, the tide took her and her phone unnoticed.


• She's on her way to Cairns because she misses me too much.


• Aliens took her. *Zzzap*

Has anyone seen her?

Please help me to find her.

My baby's back.

Finally got my iPhone back. I expected a 160AUD fee at customs, Jimmy, who sent it for me promised that. But they didn't charge me a single penny (:

Went to my previous job and handed in account number etc. guess he's paying me at last.

Worked 16.5 hours at work yesterday, seems like I'm walking in my past footsteps again. 6 days this week, expecting lots of work next week too. Don't think I ever told you what my new job involves; I'm working as a prep. chef at the Cairns convention center, the 3rd best in the world, quite cool.

Either going to a stripclub or Hellboy 2 tonight.

Guess I'm fired.

That cuntface didn't really confirm that I'm fired. What he did is that he basically just removed my name from the roster.

Erasing my existence.

If you want to kick my ass, at least do it in person.

Drive thru bottle shops.

Such a good idea.

Having drive thru bottle shops everywhere.

Now drivers can drive and drink. Very effective.

We should convince Systembolaget to do the same!

I regret that I swapped keys with Roger yesterday.

We didn't swap keys for an environmental change for 1 night. I offered my room so he could have someplace to fuck Ashley without 3 other strangers in the same room. I did that when I was drunk though.

I feel regretful and very stupid today. He thought that I only had myself to blame. Why am I not surprised?

Same line last time I did him a favor but cause myself problems. He won't get any help from me ever again.

Cuntface.

May you burn in hell.

Yesterday, I talked to my boss, asking him if he's planning to put me on day shifts next week: and in that case shouldn't since I'll be very busy. His reaction wasn't what I've expected.

Couldn't really hear what he said but there was something about 5 shifts scheduled and now only 3 yada yada. I took me a few seconds to understand that he was pissed. I mean. Really Pissed.

He said something like:

If you can't work dayshifts, you can find another fucking job. You don't fucking
tell me when you want to work. I tell you when you fucking work.

Err. Chillax!

Don't think I'm fired but who knows. I couldn't hear half of what he said, he just walked away. Err

I thought of something very impulsive, like telling me to talk to the hand cos the head ain't listening. And maybe add a little Fuck you and fuck this job. I take no shit.

I didn't though..

Slightly depressed.

Can be the weather. Can also be my situation.
Don't want to whine too much, at least I'm in Australia and I'm so lucky. I always tell people there's absolutely nothing lucky about this, this is a choice of mine, I worked for this, I didn't get this for free. You can be jealous, but don't tell me how lucky I am.

I don't understand why people where so annoyed at work yesterday.
I don't understand why my folks still don't understand. That's frustrating.
I can't tell whether I'll meet Josefin in Australia again.
I feel lonely even though I'm constantly surrounded by attention.

At least I've got another job now. As a prep. chef at the Cairns convention center, almost the size of Globen, shaped like a clamshell.

I'll be busy working 15hours a day. Don't expect too much from me..

Adios.

"I just want to tell you that I like you"

2 guys told me about their feeling for me within a period of 7 days. That's sick.

The first one was an Aussie guy. It was so obvious and it was even more obvious that I wasn't interested. He tried so hard. When I told him I wasn't interested (Don't even know this guy), he asked whether he could kiss me, I said it would be quite inappropriate. He was left in tears (nearly). So so so awkward. Hope this weel-groomed, Qantas pilot guy is O-rite.

The second one is the "Italian guy with the broken arm" (it snapped during a arm wrestling match). I still don't know if he's joking or not. He's acting SO Italian. Waking me up with a tray with chai-latte and pastry accompanied with song and guitar this morning. One of my roomates Pam thought it was very very cute. I thought I wanted to be sick.

Hope people are leaving me alone from now on.

My bartending career.

I want to announce that I made my first cocktail (No Screwdrivers, no Snake bites) behind a bar counter yesterday!!

It was a Courthouse Cosmopolitan.

Follewd by a Tropical shisper later that night.

I've therefore started my bartending career for real.

Hooray hooray!

Full day whitewater rafting.

I went rafting today.

The rapids were a great selection of level 2-4, did a 2,5m waterfall as well. What makes this different from other rafts is that only 2 people are in each boat, not 8, not 10.
I teamed up with a Canadian(?) guy, it was great fun even though we got stuck on/between stones when the water kept beating me up and the guide had to rescue us several times; At least the boat didn't flip and we both came back in one piece..



The river I rafted on is called the Russel river, not that far from Cairns CBD and I went there with Foaming fury.

I arranged a BBQ at the Lagoon for all my lovely tour mates later tonight.
Toss the shrimps on the barbie, mate!

Status: Employed.

2 possible employers called me within 30min after that..letter (See below) I went to the first interview at Coruthouse hotel, the manager was impressed by my 4 fluent languages + earlier experience so he wanted me to try working as a bartender tonight. He recieved 30 resumes just today. Wow.

I just finished work, already scheduled 2 more days this week.

Guess I'm employed.

The Pot, Schooner, Middy, Jug, Pint und zu wieder didn't confuse me at all, easy to pick up.

Major mistake.

I was sending e-mails to lots of employers just now. I re-used that short letter I used for the application for the waitress positions days ago. Everything seemed fine.

Until after 4 applications when I discovered that the letter said "I'm alert, motivated and easygoing girl who loves working with food. " at the end. And you know what? I was applying for 4 receptionist positions.

FUCK!!!!!!! or what?

I hate myself.

And yes,I am rubbish.

Update: 5 min after I sent the funny letter, Courthousehotel in Cairns just called me! Hooray! Interview immediately!

Said no to interview.

I was supposed to be on a job interview at Felix marketing today, but did a Runaway bride. I was ordering a taxi at the reception of my hostel and the lovely girl asked whether I was going to Felix marketing; I found out that this has almost nothing to do with what I consider being marketing for me. This is in fact, some kind of face-to-face-stand-in-the-mall-trying-to-get-donations. No thanks. There are lots of "marketing"-jobs and topless jobs on the market.

I would rather do ass-to-face than face-to-face.

Status: Still hunting for a job.

Looking for job.

As I told you before, it's expensive to live in Australia.

I need a job, quick.

Really that proud of being Australian.

I noticed that lots of brands like to put 'Proudly Australian owned' or '100% Australian owned' beneath their brandname..

Does it make any sense to you?

That makes me think of stuff like '100% Australian owned, not Chinese' or something.

Maybe it's just me..

My life onboard on Reef encounter.

The first day as a guest was great, I kicked my phobia in the ass 4 times during the first day. Thought I would crap myself when I first got into the water and realized there were LOADS of fish under the boat. (I later on found out why all the fish chose to assemble under the boat...)

The next day as a hostie wasn't that great. The supervisor Natalie was such a bitch, the other people in the crew were assholes as well. I don't want to ruin the expectations for those who seriously want to work there but.. Cleaning windows 5.30 in the morning ain't necessarily fun and you didn't get that much time for snorkeling or diving..

Maybe I should tell you what I saw instead.

• Nemo-crew
• Dolphins and a whale (not when I was in the water)
• Poisonous Lionfish
• Turtles (I stalked one for 5 min)
• 20something parrotfish in different colors feasting on coral
• HUGE wrasses, about 1m long
• Seacucumbers
• Small ray

Even though the hostie-duties wasn't that fun, I'm still recommending this to others since it was such great experience for me to see the Great barrier reef in close-up.

I might post some photos if Roger is willing to share..

I'm back.

I'm back from my reef trip. I've got both good and bad stuff to tell but don't really have time right now. Just want to tell that I met the whole Finding Nemo team. Which means that did some serious snorkelling!!!!

People who doesn't know me might not understand how huge this is for me who are incredibly scared of fishes!!

Anyway, I'll keep you updated.

Off to the reef.

Ok, don't be jealous yet but I found a job on the Reef encounter! I'll be working as a 'Hostie' on a boat that does trips to the Great barrier reef. Don't really know what the job involves but it seems fun!
I won't get paid but I'll get free meals, accomodation and free SNORKLING and DIVES!! And best of all, I won't spend any money at all. Not spending means saving for me, Woohoo!

I'll stay on board for at least 3 days so don't be sad if you can't reach me, despite everything, I'll be at the Great barrier reef, one of the seven natural wonders.



Time to beat my fish phobia? Oh yes.

Time for you to be jealous? Oh yes.

In Cairns.

Never got the chance to explain what happened on Friday morning..

The traffic that morning was INSANE, so I paid 19.30AUD (120sek) only to be stuck in a traffic jam. I missed my bus so I changed my route to Noosa heads and then Hervey bay and then Cairns instead. The entire journey took 32 hours. But I would rather be on the bus then left at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere, waiting for next bus to pic me up. Conclusion: Aussie towns/villages suck.

I definitely want to visit Noosa, Airlie beach and Townsville when I'm working my was down to Sydney, Whitsunday islands and Fraser island is still on the to-do list.

After 32 boring hours, I finally arrived in Cairns. After a quick shower (Didn't shower for 2 days, eww), I was dragged out by Roger. We went to several clubs but they were all too lousy to be mentioned.

Today, we've been in the sun all day, my back is a little bit over-tanned but thats O-right.

The job-hunt starts tomorrow. I'm still hoping that the pool keeper position doesn't require a drivers licence.
