The Job Hunt in Cairns!!:(

PICTURES: Of our new apartment in Cairns
Well hello all,
It has been a rather busy, very interesting week in Cairns. We started the job hunt and it is definitly not as easy or what we had hoped it would be at all. Both Glenn and I dropped resumes at a various amount of retail outlets and coffee shops as well as restaurants and to our surprise, there are so many backpackers looking for jobs in Carins that hardly any places are hiring right now. Needless to say we asked around at the hostel and i got a job doing house keeping (7am-3pm) and Glenn a job as a kitchen hand (4pm-12am or actually 3am). He only lasted one night! Mainly because the hours conflicted but he says it is the worst job he has ever done in his life. For myself, i definitly can say that this hopefully is the first and last house keeping job i will ever do in my life, but it is surviveable. I have been able to cut my hours to only 4 days a week, which has made things much more bareable. Glenn has still been unable to get a job, but we are still looking. Alot of the businesses dont want backpackers because it takes time to train new employees and backpackers have a bad name for leaving to soon and with little notice.
The day before yesterday, we moved into 300 Draper street. The place is really nice and the people seem really good too. I now live with 6 boys!!! It seems like it will be a really good place for us to be right now.
Surprise, surprise Glenn, Carla and I went to see the new Harry Potter last night. It was really good.
Well all in all things are good, this was definitly our busiest week filled with many new experiences, but that is what travelling is all about!!!
We are going to go to palm cove on saturday and then we are planning a trip to the reef for next wednesday. We cant wait, it is what Cairns is all about. Well love you all and miss you tons.
Love Jen and Glenn
P.s I had always said i had hoped for an australian accent well abroad, but we are having a good laugh since i have picked up an english accent!!! ahh bloody hell!!!
