spend the first week trying to work out some get rich quick scheme, then the following 6 weeks trying to pull it off.
strip the car, respray, engine conversion.  that's whet I'd do.

Hey, I've got an idea!
How's about you fly over to Canberra and pretend to be me between the hours of 9am-5pm for 7 weeks?! Doesn't that sound good?!?!

so you have a total of 11 weeks paid holidays. that's pretty sweet.
i'm a uni student, i get the summer off, about half the winter and the odd 2 weeks within semesters. though its unpaid, 1 coz you don't get paid to go to uni, usually and 2 i've yet to find a part time job. eh, i'll just keep on looking.

I tell you what I would do.
"NOTHING"
Sit on the couch all day long watch TV, Drink, Scratch my nuts.
When you get bored of that, do what ever pops in your head.
After your holidays, I would still do the same, when your boss rings up just hang up on him.
When the bills stars coming just rip'em up and in the bin they go.
I get my insparation from "OFFICE SPACE" Best movie ever.

Abbotoir: chop up dead sheep. Start work around half 3 in the arvo, work through to 1ish (I was in loadout, we knocked off 2-2:30 & got overtime, hence a bit more cash). No exp. reqd, just have to pass a urine test.

Interesting job. If you don't need experience how long does it take u to actually do your own sheep ?

The concept is pretty simple: You have a production line with around 50? 70? guys working on it, the sheep go past on a chain and you do whatever job they want you to do with it, ie: cut brisket, trim, suck out the fat, remove bile sac from liver etc. Thats slaughter floor, go into cold cut and they basically chop the carcass into legs, ribs, etc and box them. Loadout is getting the boxes into the plate freezer, stacking frozen boxes on pallets and loading containers. Bit off topic, but hey....
