I have managed to get to Dargaville in one piece, even that it really pissed down with rain. I had a day off of doing absolutely.. nothing... just went for bit of retail therapy, well needed an outfit for a the interview. I have stayed at Kathy's and Tony's. Karma and Sharkie met Buddy and Karma claimed Buddy as her boyfriend. Also they had a chicken sitting on duck's eggs... and the result was "Chucklings"...
The interview went fine. I have been told that they will invite me for voluntary shift, to see how I will cope working with mentally challenging behaviour people. OK no probs it only means I have stay put for bit longer.
So what did I do, Dargaville is not exactly town where is that much to do. I went to a football, where I met Peter ( Pomie) and he took interest in Buddy - cool I have found a possible home for Buddy. In the evening we went to Annice and Shane's leaving party. I have met lot and lots, heaps and heaps of people. I met Paul from Christchurch, who I would be staying with once I get to South Island. I also
met some other rather interesting characters, like Beenie and his GF Belinda... well what can I say about them, Beennie was talking his pants down and they both had to be carried home by many people.... well they had good time, it was a good party, only the morning after was not so good, hangover big style....
Blind as a bat....
... well the big give away was when Buddy jumped on a car while the door was closed, so I took him to a vet and found out he had a cataract and had only 10 -20% visibility, ... trust me to pick up a blind dog.... great who will have a blind dog.... Peter and Sally :o) .... they still agreed to have Buddy, so I took him round and they kept him, he seemed to be OK round the cats.. sweet... I only cried a little bit, especially as this day was the first day when Buddy played back with me.... well it is the best for him.... they have another little dog Tui, so he will have company.
I have also had the chance to tick another box on my Kiwi experience box... milking cows...
the only funny thing is they do it slightly different way.. more chance to get the cows poop on you.... see the pictures....
I have not heard back from "Idea", so I have called them, they have told me to get in touch once I finish travelling.... OK... well the whole point of me applying now is so I know I have job to come back to, otherwise no point for me to stay longer... I have told this to them at the interview ... well I can't stay if I have no job to come back to... however when I was at Peter and Sally's, Peter has told me to try Dargaville's rest home, they had an article in Newspaper and they are apparently always looking for staff... cool.... Peter made the call to the manager, his friend, who just took over the rest home and I had an interview next day... it is great when you know the right people...
Next day I had the job, they offered it to me on the spot,.... now I can go travelling to South Island... finally....
Dorazila jsem do Dargavillu v jednom kuse, ikdyz teda poradne prselo.
Druhy den jsem si dala oddech.... ono se toho dvakrat vice v Dargavillu ani neda delat... pouze jsem se sla odreagovat nakupem... nic zajimaveho, potrebovala jsem pouze neco na pohovor....
Zustala jsem u Kathy a Tonyho, jejich pejsci Karma and Sharkie se potkali s Buddym a Karma si usmyslela, ze Buddy bude jeji pritel...Jo a meli kvocnu, ktera sedela na kachnich vejcich... vysledek.... vsak se podivejte na fotecky...
Pohovor byl v pohode. Zeptali se me zda bych mohla na dobrovolnou sichtu, aby se ujistili, ze to zvladnu s mentalne narocnimi lidmi... bez problemu... pouze musim zustat jeste par dni a oni me daji vedet ktery den...
Hmmm co budu teda delat... sla jsem s Cameronem na fotbal, potkala jsem Petera, kteremu se zalibil Buddy, super... mozna jsem mu nasla domov... Vecer jsem sla na rozlucku k Annice a Shanovi, seznamila jsem se s mnoha lidma, kterych si jmena stejne nepamatuji, pouze ty zajimave exoty jako Beenie a jeho pritelkyne Belinda, oba byli uplne na srot, Beenie si sundaval kalhoty, Belinda bylo slyset asi az u sousedu.... hlavne, ze se bavili, sice je asi 5 lidi odnaselo domu... ale co uz... byl to super vecer... pouze to rano nebylo skvele...
uz to neni co to byvalo... tezka rana opilcova....
...Slepy jako patrona...
... Buddy... jak jsem na to prisla, ... kdyz skocil na auto kdyz byli stale zavrene dvere, moje prvni reakce byla... ? co blazni, proc to udelal.... ale pak me doslo, ze pravdepodobne ma neco se zrakem... a taky, ze ano... veterinar me rekl, ze ma 10 - 20 % viditelnost, ma sedy zakal....no to jsem cela ja, zachranim slepeho psa....skvele, kdo si vezme slepeho psa... Peter a Sally... nakonec jim to nevadilo a porad meli zajem o Buddyho, vzala jsem ho k nim domu, kocky ho nejak netankovali... skvele... mas novy domov Buddy... a mas i kamosku... Tui ( uz meli jednu fenecku)...trusku jsem ronila slzy ... mozna i protoze, tento den byl den kdy Buddy si poprve se mnou hral... ale je to lepsi pro neho....
Taky jsem si mohla odfajfknout dalsi chlivecek na liste "Kiwi zazitky".... dojila jsem kravy..pouze tady to delaji trosku jinak... je mnohem vetsi nebezpeci, ze skoncite s pletovou maskou, ktera je jeste tepla ...kravince...mrknete se na fotecky
Protoze se me nikdo z te prace neozval, tak jsem jim sama zavolala, rekli me at se s nema skontaktuji az docestuji...?OK...
duvod proc jsem zadala o praci drive, abych mela jistotu, ze mam praci az docestuji, jinak muzu jet domu... bez prace a bez penez na Novy Zealand nelez...dokonce jsem jim to vysvetlila i na pohovoru, ze potrebuji jistotu, ze mam praci jinak pojedu domu v polovine rijna... co ted jiste prace.... nastesti Peter, znal noveho manazera v domove duchodcu, jeden telefonat a na druhy den jsem mela pohovor.... vse zalezi na tom koho znate.
Druhy den jsem mela praci,... tak a ted muzu cestovat dale... "Smer Jih"... konecne
