The best job in the world

Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Snorkeling, diving, sunbathing, meeting people and write a blog. That was more or less the job description.
The state of Queensland has advertised it all over the world, with a final figure of 34,000 (yes, thirty-four thousands) applications.
I am one of them.
Yeap, I took a video of myself, uploaded to the website and sent emails to whoever could vote for me. That was the application process. (By the way: the website crashed few days before the deadline).

So, me and my flatmate, on a grey, wet, typical English midweek afternoon, we went to a fishshop and recorded the video. It took us one hour and a half, more than 20 takes and eventually we had that one minute video that was going to be my application form.
I was exhausted at the end of the recording session.

Needless to say that I have not been shortlisted. I suppose it would have been easier to win the lottery.
Anyways, enjoy the video and the out takes!
