Saturday 14 August.

Had my first day of work today! I got up early and walked down to the garage, and Bob was there waiting for me, he was really nice. He showed me around and the place is a lot bigger than I would have thought, to say it is a simple garage! It was a bit dull but I think that was because I was mainly showed around all day and didn't really do much. I was with Liam most of the time, who showed me pretty much everything I need to know. There are two other guys who work there two, Martin and Denny. They were both pretty cool and w said we'd meet up for a game of football one day. I stayed while 5 before Bob said I could get off. Before I went he gave me $30. He said to come back at the same time next Saturday and he'd get me started properly, and I can't wait. It was fun really, and its easy, and at least I'm getting some money now.

When I got home mum didn't ask about it so I'm guessing she forgot. She didn't look too good though, either. She was really pale and she went to bed after sending me to the shop for some more smokes, again making sure I wouldn't tell on her to Zack.

I took Cazzy for a walk and remembered what I had told Terri! I went to the payphone and called her, and she met up with me right away! I was embarrassed about calling her on the phone as I didn't think she would actually want to meet me - but she seemed really eager. I met her at her house and we walked round the streets. We had to stop every so often to shush Cazzy, who was having quite a few tantrums, I think she was just playing up though, because Terri kept fussing her. The little sneak!

After an hour of so I walked her back home and we agreed that I would ring her another day to do something. I got another kiss on the cheek, better than nothing I guess!! At least I haven't scared her away yet!

When I got back home Cazzy was exhausted and fell straight asleep, I hope she stays that way throughout the whole night! Mom was already out too and I didn't see Zack, so I stayed up watching Harts War. It was quite boring but I liked how the Bruce Willis character took the blame for it all in the end, and kept his honour by doing so. I thought he was going to bail and let the other guy take a bullet. I would think that is what all of the soldiers are like in real life, but who knows?

I went to bed quite late but there was no sign of Zack before I did. Christ knows where he is. Not that I'm bothered, I'm just curious, with what went on the other day and all, who knows whats going off!

Jack.
