Yesterday Eben and I went to the beach from 10:45am to 2:30pm. It was really relaxing we just sat and read and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and listened to the waves. It wasn't until a few hours later we realized how sunburned we were. I was using a spray sunblock and thought that I had sprayed myself well enough. Well I missed the backs of my knees the top of my right foot and a small strip right above my bottoms. Those spots are BRIGHT red. When I walk around it hurts because I can feel my skin stretching. I can only sleep on my stomach so nothing touches the burned spots. Eben got burned on the tops of his legs and a few patches on his chest. Needless to say we have been applying aloe vera like crazy. I also tried a rag soaked in vinegar which was nice. Eben wasn't quite patient enough to sit with a rag on his legs.
Well my job at the Italian restaurant is over. Tony the manager wanted me to work Christmas day from 11am to 10pm. I told him that I would be happy to work from 5-10 but that I wasn't going to spend my only Christmas in Australia working. He said that since I couldn't work when he needed me to then he wouldn't be putting me on the schedule anymore. So I went in to pick up my money from the weekend since I had worked Thursday through Sunday. I took Dannii with me and he gave me an envelope with cash and we stepped outside to count it and it was $50 short. So I went back in and told him that it was short and he said that he wasn't going to pay me for Thursday since it was my first day. I told him that wasn't fair because I was there for 5 hours and he had already told me that he was going to pay me for that day. He argued with me for a bit and then finally was going to give me the $50. He turned around to open the safe and then changed his mind saying that he didn't care if I didn't get paid and that I could take him to court if I wanted. So I stomped out and told Dannii that we were leaving and she said "did you get your money" I said no so then she went up to him and he was all like this has nothing to do with you. She said you owe my friend $50 he said that we could take him to court if we wanted. Then she said does the government know you're paying people cash? Are you willing to risk your restaurant over $50? Apparently he is willing to because he refused to pay me and so Dannii said his restaurant was terrible and we left.
Today Dannii called the owner of the restaurant chain and told him what happened and he said that he stands behind his managers 100% and that if I didn't get paid then I probably deserved it! She said we would be taking him to court then and he said he didn't care because he has millions.
I JUST WANTED MY $50!!!
grrrr...
So frustrating. Anyway we called the government tax office and told them that he is evading his taxes. So hopefully they go over there to check him out. Unfortunately there is no way for us to know if he gets busted. So if you ever come to Australia don't go to Il Divo.
Well I am going to put some more aloe vera on! :)
