After Byron and the infamous call from Firmenich, I had a choice, but only a little one due to time constraints, so I kept moving north as planned instead of back to Manly. It was a very difficult decision. I stayed with a CSer (everytime I say that I stayed with a CSer, it means I did a lot of searching and planning to arrange everything prior; I wish it was as easy and carefree as it sounds) in Surfers Paradise. He was very courteous but unfortunately I could not take sleeping on a couch that ended up having a party on it every single night. On more than one occasion I was in pj’s about to go to sleep when he brought home friends and they stayed up drinking and playing games. Once again, past Tasha would have loved this…but I’m present Tasha now and it wasn’t fitting for what I’m looking for. Gazza rescued me and allowed me to stay with him for a week. I had two interviews with marketing companies, got both jobs but only took one of them. It was as an independent contractor, commission based, fundraising for the Heart Research Institute. It was very difficult to learn the sales pitch and perform it effectively. I almost quit on more than one occasion out of pure fear and anxiety. But I stuck with it and overcame the fear, stress, and anxiety, and still ended up hating it. They don’t know it yet, but I’m about to quit. Simultaneously, I have been working promo sales for a tour company. It’s still hard and out of my element, but much more rewarding and less time consuming. I also trust them a lot more than the marketing firm (still trying to figure out how much of a scam they are running there).
