Working 9-5......yeah, chance would be a fine thing.

As well as accommodation being in short supply in Sydney work was even shorter. After looking for a couple of days a coming up with nothing, speaking to several other travellers things started getting desperate. We had planned on three months of work to get money together for our trip to New Zealand and Asia. Now I setting the scene here to help justify our eventual place of work. We got a call from an agency that there was a job available for Clare and I, it wasn't ideal, but it was work. It was working in a call center, which I was fine with, Clare's done it before and I've known plenty of people who have done it. It was more what we were doing whilst we were there. We were working in outbound telesales......selling American Express credit cards. Noooooooooooo. I was about to become everything I hated. I think it's great if people can avoid using credit cards and I'm rubbish at sales. This ain't gonna be pretty.
