fuckinggggggg pissed off. Day off today because the heat is too high, so the fire risk is too high.. sooo i woke up about 8am.. went down for breakfast and there wasnt anything set up so i presumed there was no breakfast.. so i waited for lunch at 12ish which gets brought down from the farm, we get a phone call from the boss saying there is no lunch, and to just go to a cafe instead, so yeah im meant to go to a cafe with my total of 35 cents because we dont get paid til after we leave? What a joke.
the other day he had a go at everyone saying, the advert said 60 hours a week so if i ask you to do a 12 hour day you'l do it blah blah, the advert said this, the advert said that. The advert said 3 meals a day the stupid prick.
The problem is that nobody will say anything because they know theyl probably get fired and not get paid until he feels like it, which nobody can afford. Even the 2 supervisors we live with are fuming but wont say anything. just need everyone to stand together

Saturday 9th January
NUTS NUTS NUTS NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!! soo im down in beverley nut picking! its pretty tough work.. but also really easy! basically what we do.. is walk down an isle of trees that drop nuts about the size of marbles - golf balls, n we have a stick with a rake on one end and a strange wire ball on the other that you roll across the floor and it picks the nuts up, then you just empty it into the wheelie bins, use the rake to get the hard to reach ones and move on! so yeah.. really easy.. but we get up at 4am, leave at 4.30am, start work at 5am, stop for lunch at 12, start again at 1.30pm, finish at 5.30pm, get home about 6.30pm, eat at 7pm, and then its best to go to bed before 9..and then it begins again! n everything is in highhh temperature.. the highest so far was 48 degrees.. but the day got cut short because there was a fire warning, banning all movement of vehicles on farmland, which was nice :P
soooooooo theres a good group of people here, most of them are sound and we have a good laugh! we were staying at a hotel.. so we were all chuffed, 2 person rooms, bar downstairs, pool table, table tennis, meals made for us.. seemed great! then some guys got bitten all over by bed bugs, and myyy god.. one guys blisters were like grapes on his feet, it was so sick.. and then the food was getting worse by the day.. and nobody cleaned our rooms.. or our cups n bowls from breakfast (only sinks upstairs were in toilet) so we couldnt eat in the morning unless we used yesterdays stuff or went all the way to the toilet to wash it.. at 4am ¬_¬ so we were not happy n constantly complaining to the supervisors.. even though they had to put up with it too. sooo yesterday the boss made an announcement that hes moving us to a much nicer more expensive hotel n hes covering the cost and mannnn its nice. Its 4 to a room but the beds are so comfy, the food is proper pub food, the beer garden is fantastic, there is phone signal! which there was absolutely none of in the other town. AND free internet here, hence how im writing this =] so things were definately a lot better today, everyones not as grumpy!
jees thats long.. ill try and get some pictures of stuff tomorrow if i remember my camera.. its half 9!!! should be well in bed! PEACE! x
