Days off

Tried to wake up early, failed. Work up at 7,30 instead. I had a lovely oaty breakfast before hitting the beach.

This beach is just insane. It is about 9km long so theres no breaks, no rocks, just pure sand right round the headlands on either side. I tired my best to walk some of it, figured after 20mins I must be at least near south mission. Nope, still in Wongaling. It's crazy because its tiny in population but the town extends down one road along the coast so its really long.

Did a spot of sunbathing before going for a dip. The water was warm and the floor was sandy, it felt all wrong. But was really nice. I didn't go too far as it was high tide so the beach is very flat meaning that to go deep I would have had to go a good hundred meters from shore. Which on my own was not something I was willing to do.

I then headed back and did some more admin stuff, but I did it beside the pool, so it wasn't too bad. Then just headed back into my aircon room to escape the sun and relaxed.

At 6 I met Kahan at the resort, we had a schooner (what a stupid size) and got the courtesy bus into north mission. We met James there and I had a surprisingly good night with them. They are chill, older as well so no teenage boy adolescent BS which I was thankful for. They did talk about video games a lot so I got bored a made friends with a local instead. Genuinely no clue what his name was but he'd done some travelling and had some good stories and tips for asia. The more I speak to people over here, the more I want to visit asia. Because it's so much closer here than it is to UK, a lot more people have travelled their. Most of them are extravellers, so have so many stories to tell.

Gracie then picked us back up in the courtesy bus, which was great. Headed back to the resort and had a few more there. I didn't because I know my limit, Kahan is only just 18 so he did not. He definitely has a headache this morning. Spent some time hanging out there in the gaming room. As employees we arent allowed to gamble on premises at any times so I mostly just tried to figure out how on earth it all worked. Spoiler alert I did not succeed.

As someone who had never even bought a lottery ticket, all of this stuff is very foreign to me. I think the closest I have even been to gambling is one time we were at an event that overlooked a dog racing ring or something. Mum gave me 20p to bet, if I won I got 40p of I lost, I got nothing. I remember deciding not to gamble because I was happy with my 20p. But I have been placed in gaming and sports this weekend so they are going to throw me in the deep end and let's hope is swim. I fully intend to not do anything without someone present for a while on the first shift. If they win and I give them the wrong money, I am so screwed. But we'll see what happens. One perk is if I mess it up, they'll never make me do nights in gaming!

Anyways, had a very nice night. Everyone at work is welcoming, just next time I'll try and drag a girl along too so I'm not listening to video games all night. At least I now know the differences between playstation and xbox, and why now is the time to buy an xbox not playstation. As I said before, full of useless knowledge.Read more
