I could have stayed
Whilst down under I had to get a job as a car hire monkey to help save the pennies. The job in itself was pretty inoffensive or at least I thought it was. There was an English boss and a kiwi manager who would be extemely irritated if there was anything resembling dust in the most remote places. Anyway it became clear that they wanted a lot more from me than my pay reflected. I was also to answer the phone and quote without training! Anyway after one heavy night I was really struggling, and a little laspe with the handbrake and bang $600 worth of damage. The next day they asked me what paycut I would be willing to take to pay it off. I actually thought to myself maybe they had a incredibly dry sense of humour about it. In a couple of days they called me into the office, basically I would work the rest of my time there for about 4 quid an hour. I pretended to be grateful and then finished early never to return. Sorry if you were expecting me to put laxative in their milkshake or suchlike. But at least I left them with a bill to pay (even though they probably used their insurance.)
