My day - Episode Forty Seven

Well I was woken up at half nine by a preset alarm so I could have a loungy morning before work. Had feta cheese and salami with my toast this morning and felt all european. Then it was off to work.
I should probably tell you more about work. I'll break it down.
On the bar there's not many of us in one go, usually two or three a night. Today it was me and Tommy. Tommy is shaven-head, peirced tattooed but so lovely. Then there is Tom who was around who is mousy, blond and currently a bit ill. There's also James who I saw briefly today. Absolutely nuts, shaggy hair and bottle-glasses - we chat too much. There is also Perks, who I saw today as well at the shift swap. He's ex-army cocky and typical 'bloke', still he's alright. The only other girl is Charlotte who lives down the road from me. Also small she's blonde and very girly. You know, doesn't like getting sauce on her hands when plate cleaning. My boss is Steve and he mills around, helps with the bar when we flounder and panic. He's hard to read. Has a stern look but actually quite easy going - just stressed mostly.
In the resturant there's all girls. There's Shirley (older, two kids, red hair and crude), Mileigh (blonde, double of charlotte), Daniela (glasses, nerdy but nice), Vicky (Tommy's girlfriend, bit chavvy but funny), Ariel (young, sweet, reminds me of mermaid), Engla (spanish? mature, quiet) and The tall ginger model-girl whose name evades me. There's probably more I can't remember. Not to mention the kitchen staff. There's a blonde girl in there, A dark haired guy, one white haired moustached guy and a grey haired loopy man. I never learned their names.

So that's basically who I work with. Everyone's really nice and we have a right laugh sometimes. We get a free carvery on a sunday early shift so today me Tommy, Tom and Shirley sat down to eat. Twas goood. The actual working side is pretty much easy, endless reams of glass collecting, cleaning and storing. Orders from people that can range from super easy "Pint of BLAH" to "I'll have a Sauvingnon Blanc, small topped up with soda in a J20 glass and three chunks of ice. And Lemon". Yes, I hate you people. I haven't yet broken a glass which happens really often. Three minutes into our shift and Daniela breaks one already and twenty minutes later Tommy broke one too. The mistakes I make are more misspours and spilling crap.

SO ANYWAY. After that ramble. I did a 12-4 shift today, had lunch and then came on home. That's been my day so far. Revision is going well but plodding along. Been neglected recently because I've been busy with four shifts at work in a row. totally dead now. Time to chill out with a terry's chocolate orange bar and a cup of tea I think. Cheers.
