Well I landed a job on pretty much the first day I set out to look for one, I went into The Source which is basically the same as Dick Smith Electronics back in New Zealand and they wanted me to work that night. Seven working days later, with two more to go, I'm still working there without any days of break in-between. Well at least its more suited to my interests and knowledge, seeing how a lot of the job entails educating customers about various wares such as digital cameras, computers and general electronics stuff its not too difficult. The pay rate is quite weird as well, since you are given a base salary then earn commission if you sell warranties, cellphones or services. So on a good day, or through most of Christmas, I can earn roughly $15-20 / hour or up to $30 / hour if I'm really lucky. Plus you have the whole stronger Canadian currency thing which works out to my advantage if I decide to convert it back into New Zealand currency.
I'd really like to get my hands on either a Still Camera or halfway decent Video Camera (like the 6MP Sony consumer camera I'll have to look into) so I can start doing something creative. Its just been work work work at the moment, but with the money its bringing in I can't really complain too much. At least I should be able to save up for something useful.

That's good to hear. Always nice to have money coming in, though the work itself may sometimes suck.
Yeah its not too bad, just with almost any kind of work I'm bound to get tired of it sooner or later. Especially when it doesn't leave me much time to do anything else, should calm down a bit after Christmas though which is rapidly approaching. You up to much before then?
