Just to let you all know, the sales job is now going much better, I've had an unbelievable three days, which have more than made up for last week's dismal effort. A lot of it is down to luck and persistence, but there are also a few things you learn with time, like how to be persuasive without seeming desperate (probably applies to a few other things in life) and knowing what problems you will have to solve. Hopefully it will stay like this for my remaining two weeks.
Aside from working and drinking (we don't start 'til one, so nights out are very much still the norm), I went to the Australian National Museum on Sunday, which was very good - much better than their contemporary art gallery. I had no idea how much the Brits messed the poor Aboriginies up since arriving here. Have to admit, this is often a recurring theme with countries I visit. From 1800 to 1969 - which is ridiculously recent for such an archaic law - Aborigine children segregated from their families by force and placed with Westerners so they could learn to be more 'white'. Many now have drink, drugs and other health problems.
