Got up nice and early for my first day of work in the big CA. Work started at 11 so I got up at 8.30. Only just made it in for 11. Took me about 1 hour 20 min to get there. Had to do a bit of walking to the subway, then a 20 min ride on the subway. Then had to get a bus, which was a bit late. I was tired by the time I even got to work. So different to my 20 min cycle I was used to. Not sure i'd last doing this. Especially when it gets real cold during the winter. I'll keep it up for now but can't see me staying with it.
They were all Canadian in the training except for myself and this older Spanish lady. I got stuck with her for lunch and she drove me nuts. She just kept complaining about EVERYTHING. I was stuck walking to the closest canteen with her and she's a big lady who I doubt does much walking. She got about 10 feet every minute and then spent another minute complaining about it. Note to self: avoid her at all costs in future.
The actual training itself was fine, its for a charity agency who gets sponsorship for kids in need in developing countries. It was actually very interesting but i'm just not the sort of person to be ringing up people bugging them all day. Unless they're my friends.
Work finished at 5 so I was back in the hostel for about 6.30. Was in the need for some booze then and luckily there was a bit of a session back in the hostel so had a good laugh with an Ossie bunch for the night. They had some crazy stories so we were all entertained for the night. Didn't drink too much and went to bed early enough again as had more work/training in the mornin. First day of work wasn't too bad.
