ok wow the last few days have been stressful but brilliant. ok I was at glenorchy, kinloch doing the normal everday thing I do there and Shannon a really good friend that I've kept in touch with over the internet over the past 2 years came up to visit me. It was all planned I knew he was coming and I told my boss I needed a day off etc. had fun went to queenstown, arrowtown (arrowtown is so gorgeous) and cromwell. Shannon stayed for two nights and then had to go. 15 minutes after Shannon left my boss told me I was sacked and to pack my things. I was devastated, I wasn't expecting it and he sacked me coz I was not enthusiastic in the work place. I had one of two choices most prefferable was to get in contact with shannon and tell him to turn around nd pick me up and take me to invercargill. if that failed I had to book my next flight home. After about 40 minutes I finally get in touch with Shannon. By that time I'm stressed, upset, crying etc. and on the verge of booking airflight tickets. Thankgod he came back and took me to invercargill. Shannon is officially a saint and a god send and a life saver, so all bow down to shannon! hehehehe but seriously he's a gem. I then later find out his whole family are gems and within half an hour of meeting them I am invited to stay in their house in the spare room. I was totally taken aback and took me a while to bring myself to accept even though I've always been taught to never look a gift horse in the mouth as they say. So now I've been here since thursday and have been applying for jobs everywhere. Apparently they're quite hard to get here in invercargill which is a bitch. If I can't get one in a fortnight or so I'm going to have to go back to plan B of booking a flight home. Sort of semi-hoping that will happen, I'm tired of travelling and having my life and wellbeing dangling from a thread of hope. Not to mention I miss all my friends and it's F*%#ING freezing here. Anywho I am going back to job searching.

Hope all of you a warm and well seeing as I am cold and could be better.

love and miss you all.

Sharn
