You Got Blown, Chapter 3: We Got Jobs

Sure we miss our friends, families, hometowns, etc., etc. But after 3 months of gallavanting around in paradise it's safe to say that the thing we really miss the most is working every day.  GAH, I'm getting pangs of yearning just typing this. PANGS OF YEARNING, I TELL YOU!

So we got jobs now. Lara is a waitress at a fancy-schmancy restaurant (at least the shaving paid off for one of us) and Adam is a laborer (labourer) for a construction company called Just Build It. Dialed.

For Lara, the benefits of working in downtown Queenstown are checked by the fact that downtown Queenstown has been under water for the last few weeks. It's fine now, but this was her morning commute last week:

Oh, that's nasty.

For Adam, the benefits of doing manual labor are countless. He gets to use mini grinders, regular grinders and even jackhammers at work. One time he got to install ceiling joists using a Ramset nailgun. Also, the job sites are outside of town and boast some decent views.

You can't get a view like this from a cubicle, but you can probably get a Successories poster in your cubicle with a view like this.

Rumor has it the owner of this site made all of his money laboring on construction sites during his working holiday.

Stay tuned for an update a month from now when Lara is carrying hot steaks around in a warm restaurant and Adam is carrying massive piles of shit around in the freezing cold.
