unsuccessful adventure

Today was such a random day. At 3am this morning, while I was still awake I decided that I didn't want to work at Driftin' anymore. So at 6.15am this morning  I text them and said I wasn't coming in today, anyways later that day I thought I'd get in touch and tell them I didn't want the job anymore. It turns out they beat me too it. They said they found someone else. Eeeek, turns out its not a good idea to call in on your second shift. Does this mean I got fired? I didn't want the job anyway, there business was failing miserably, it was always dead, all the staff spoke next to no English and were all chinese... easily the most boring job in the world, a massive problem when I start at 7am, which made it 10 times worse... I need stimulation at that hour of the day. No biggy I have something else is the pipeline.

Anyways... I went back to sleep until almost noon and decided I wanted to go exploring. We decided we were going to go to Kuranda as per Megan's request. So after we get ourselves together, get ready, pack bags, have breakfast, wait an hour for the camera battery to charge a little, we go to step out the door realize its pissing it down. We umm and ahhh about what to do for another 30 mins and then still decide to go to Kuranda, by this time it is 1.30pm and Megan's bitching and moaning that she needs to be back by 4pm for work, we carry on and go anyway thinking we'll have plenty of time. It turns out Errol gets colossally lost on the way there, almost runs out of fuel too and by now its 2.15pm and we still have 20 mins to go and we're still not there. In the end Megan spits her dummy out big time and decides we're not going and we should just go to lunch at the nearest spot. So thats what we did, and got super soaked in the torrential down poor between the car and the restaurant.

On the way back home we decided to stop by the Cairns Cable park that we've passed by a few times, it looked pretty epic. We all decided that a proper hobby was one of the main things we were missing from life... and taking up wake-boarding again at a cable park was a cheap and easy way to occupy my time. Its like winter time, I have something (snowboarding) that occupies my time and mind and gives me focus and purpose... I just need the same here. The plan is  to purchase my self a season pass to the cable park and become a sick wakeboarder... well we'll see about the sick wakeboarder part. Although I think I'm going to laugh like crazy when Meg gets involved.
