Is there a better way to celebrate being paid other than that first celebratory pint? I can’t think of a better way.
Here I am, at the Pig n Whistle, a traditional British Pub not far from where I am currently staying. I prefer to keep my working life and blogging life seperate as work is completely unrelated to my blog, other than that it helps fund my travels and for that I am very grateful.
Funnily enough, I took this photo recently of a sign outside of one of these pubs, advertising the ‘chicken parmo’ that is popular back home, especially in Middlesbrough where they do these very well.
And recently I was tagged in this article that can be viewed here, from a local news website back home in the UK mentioning these pubs here in Brisbane, with the headline:
‘You Ripper! The Aussie pubs selling 2,000 ‘Middlesbrough parmos’ a month’
Coincidentally, the article starts by mentioning that a picture recently emerged on social media of an A-board advertising the food outside one of the pubs. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I posted my image to social media, could they have picked up on my picture?
I guess I may never know…
Looks good! Glad you have work to help your bank account.
It is great that there are plenty of employers out there willing to hire people on working holiday visas, even if we are limited to 6 months work with that specific company.
Good for everyone methinks.
Isn’t getting that first paycheck from anywhere great!? When I first moved to Boston in 1978, right after college, I took a picture of my waitressing check.I was so excited (That wasn’t my first job btw. It was the first job that I got by myself without help from relatives or friends of the family. I was proud of it.)
Absolutely! Even if you don’t enjoy the work (not speaking about you personally there), that paycheck is a very proud moment. It can be a great confidence boost and very rewarding.
