I never thought it would be possible to be close to tears and so frustrated at such a simple, mind numbingly boring job, but it is! I had the worst day at work today. Between there being no apples on the trees and the tractor driver not moving the bins things were bad! At least it wasn't raining or I think I might have lost it. To top things off, the bloody farmer was letting his 5 year old kid drive the tractor around so none of our bins were getting moved and we had to cart bags of apples halfway across the ochard all day! (I know to most people this means nothing... but to my fellow fruit picking saddos you know what I mean!)

Then we decided after work that we deserved McDonald's as a reward and they forgot to put my cheeseburger in the bag and gave me a diet Coke instead of regular Coke! It's the little things, I tell you! What an overall crappy day.

I found out later on that one of my new mates here, a Scottish girl named Vicky, seems to think that I'm an angry person! I tried to explain to her that I'm ridiculously patient and have never really properly lost my temper and she brought up my frustration at the farm on this day. I guess I can get a bit cranky after all. Ok, really cranky... but who lets a five year old drive a tractor anyways! ARG!

Then a bunch of us went out to an Irish pub in a tiny(er) town nearby called Havelock North and all completely wrote ourselves off. I accidentally spilled a full pint of cider into a Czech friend's crotch and then she forgot about it and started dancing on chairs looking fully like she'd pissed herself. I had to buy her a vodka and Redbull to make up for my clumsy ways... but it was worth it to see her strutting her damp stuff in front of the entire bar.
