Looking for a job?!

The last couple of days I have started to look for a job.
At first I went to the city center of Auckland to register in some employement agencies. This city is so fucking big and busy that it took me a while to get used to it. So I first went to the park and slept for a while ;-) After that I looked up the adresses of the agencies in the yellow pages and visited some. Guys in suits, me in T-shirt... a no-go. So I just walked around the city and went into some bars and backpackers to ask if they needed staff. I didn't have any luck with that either, although some asked me to leave my details. Later I went to the wicked van hiring company, who had emailed me to say they might need somebody in august, but same thing there. I kinda gave up for that day and just hung around in the city some more. Man, have they got record stores here. I found about the complete collection of Dylan & Zappa most albums at just $7, jouwzaaa. That night Jesse came over, another couchsurfing friend of Paul, who stayed here a couple of months ago. A great guy, he 's been traveling for a couple of years non-stop, and working where he can. He 's now renting an apartement in the city and had just bought an awesome van.
The next day I went to the Belgian Beer Cafe in Takapuna, close to where I'm staying. I filled in an application form and added a letter of recommendation, stating that I was a real beer lover, I wonder if that 'll work out in my advantage. They had a surprising choice of beers, from stella, over Leffe and Orval to Gouden Carolus, nnnnnnice. It was bloody expensive though, I payed $ 10.5 for a Duvel. That night I got high as a bird and had a very nice talk with Paul. I still find it surprising how nice this guy is to me and I'm sure he's going to stay a friend for life.
Today I mostly relaxed (as if I didn't do that on the other days :). We went to the swimming pool in the afternoon and I had a sauna and hot-tub.
For those who didn't get that already, I love it here! I give myself another two weeks or so to find a job, and I'm fairly confident I'll find something by then.

greetings to all you earth monkeys
