Friday, work then plan was to meet up with people in uni parks and chill in the sun but idea's that happen spur of the moment the day before tend to flop as this one did, so laowed headed home and mum was planning a bbq with family friends, with me as the cook, win. chris came up to as a similar plan of his flopped, had pimms and beer and put a ridiculous amount of bacon on the bbq, as any true man should to make the man burger, it had A LOT OF BACON ... and cheese ... and MORE BACON, Yeeah
Saturday, Work, then cycled home, changed, cycled back and met up with esther, sarah, alice (ross) harry and mel at red lion. Instantly though me and harry laughed as we had both busted out the shorts, win. They where just finishing up lunch and plan was to go back to sarahs and then onto a house party, so me, harry and mel did a beer run, now i've been pouring peroni all week but hadn't actually had the chance to drink one, being on limited funds, but we pooled what we had together and came out with 4 big bottles of peroni, vodka and coke and red bull for sarah as currently she can't drink. headed to hers and it was just nice and chilled, music drinks and laughs, love these times and its just like last summer, apart from the group will get bigger as people get back from uni etc, also most of the photos are on fb already and they are BUFF ha
Finished up and headed out to the party, we got out the front door and a group of people ran past shouting "quick we need to get to thirst" ... if only harry had kept his mouth shut haha, he went "what, they wont get into thirst" ... she was small, black and came at us all with the attitude, "what you chattin about?, you don't know neffin, wanna see my ID" ... ha, but one of the boys pulled her away to which harry mentioned he'd only just got out of prison, lovely but by this point me and esther where in fits of laughter, The girl heard this as she got a few metres away and came back, "what you laughin at", esther ran and closed the door, i stood in the way and she went straight for the nipple push ha, she cleared off after this and it probably could of turned ugly at any point but at the time we where all laughing to much to worry or notice, just not many nights start like this ha
headed to cowley and found zak along the way who not only had busted out the shorts but the same ones as me ha, primark ftw, but it was pretty much your standard house party, lots of random people, beer pong, lots of booze (although rum was a bad idea), richard castle, music, pretty standard night, but headed on back to sarahs with some others in the early hours, guestimate of around 4-5am (not sure when though as i passed out on the sofa basically on arrival).
Sunday, 7am in the morning = looking and feeling like death. The just ill feeling, but harry cooked an uber breakfast and i set off by 8:30 back home, changed showered etc, then back to work for 12-5 ... longest shift of my life. Got home chilled and watched the finale to 24, i haven't watched the series really but wanted to see how they finished off jack bauer, one of the hardest men on tv, ... tense, clever with hard man moments but he didn't die, should of watched the series as it would of made more sense and seemed less lame of an ending.
Monday, was just one of those bad days that you just can't control, just have to shut up and get on with.
first off i nearly ended up in A&E, Headed out for work at 12 coming down cumnour hill at really fast pace, car didn't judge it right and pulled out where the speed camera is, to go across, i pulled on the back brake i have left and managed to miss it by a few inch's but the cable snapped. If there was any traffic that day i'd of gone clean into the back but there wasn't, someone likes me up there i guess, feet out but i didn't stop till the seacourt bus stop, then walked the rest to work and bit taken back by it.
Got there and they had a Spanish tour group of 70 people booked, jesus christ is all i have to say. It was insanely busy to the point me and chloe where out waitering food and cleaning the tables to help, then doing 50+ coffee's when the machine can only do 4 at a time, so lame. but there was 8 bottles of wine left over, the waiter who's table it is gets to decide what happens with it, he took 2 and left the rest for everyone else so i got a bottle of red, little win for the day. At 4 headed off on break to uni parks with the same crowd as sarahs + curry, hugh, alice (foreman), hannah (collier) and harry (score) they where pre drinking before bridge so generally just more laughs, again another little win for the day, Got back to work for 6 after 2 carlesberg to again another fully booked restaurant. lame
One of the biggest groups in the evening was a 19th party for around 20-30 of them, this is when it dawned on me just how preppy/rich kid infested browns is, some of them are lovely but some are very stereotypical and in a word cunts (leaving aside the fact the phrase "i would" came up a lot), but want to know how much there tab ran up to? ... take a guess and i'll post the answer in the next one, but they had both red and white wines, 2 courses and numerous beers and champagne cocktails. anyways i was supposed to leave at 9 - 10ish for bridge monday and to catch up with a friend for her birthday and got offered to. but heres a question i put to you, what would you do?
- Say ok, change and head off to bridge and the birthday, when both you and your bar manager know you would be leaving them in the shit as the big party wouldn't finish till half 10, adding in you need the money for a flat and your mum would castrate you if you lost the job. but you wouldn't get to go out to bridge and see a certain someone you like and enjoy a birthday with a close friend letting her down, and shes not the understanding type.
- Say no, stay and work till 12 to help them out, to be in your managers "my god i owe you a favour" book. giving up bridge (miss free entry, no funds for later) and seeing the person you like, then let your close friend down on her birthday.
I took the second as much as i didn't want to and worked till just up until midnight, finished up and tryed to ring jennie/text to find out where they where, no reply to which i realised i had a bike with no brakes, so had to trek the whole 8-9 miles home on foot, it wasn't just raining it was pouring and only work stuff, i'd had nothing to eat all day besides sugarpuffs and 2 carlesberg, so just so epicaly uber lame. but thinking back, on long treks all you can do is think really, i like to think of it as the more mature choice, putting responsibility's over social life, then got a text saying "I hate you." ... oh good times :/
Tuesday, again work in the morning and asked to do the evening as another favour to help out, so 2 hour break, on break i just read a book mum found on the parachute regiment to kill time, dam interesting as it tells you why the army did things the way it did in Afghanistan and the thinking and logic behind it, or the lack of it in some cases from higher command but yeah. Evening shift though it dawned on my just how much i love my job, and how much i'd learnt in the week i've been there. I've been given crash courses in everything, been thrown in the deep end and can do everything on the restaurant side of the bar now, i know all the wines, champagnes and the mixers, i.e pimms royal, bellini etc beers, soft drinks, how to make all coffees, i have my own card for the tills and can work them, i'm dealing with all orders on the coushty bar (hes Czech and loves that word, and its his side of the bar) which is basically the bar area, where i deal with customers and waiter all the tables there. but I'm just excited to get there and learn something new, sounds a bit gay but still, oh and having made latte's for all the kitchen staff when they want i get free food now when ever, win. but i start on the cocktails properly next weeks so ill post how to make them as i go when i get davids bible as some are dam nice.
Today, done fudge all. literally, although i think its well deserved, hannah (brookes) popped over for a catch up and now its time for me to clean up my room and do something productive besides blog ,fb, doctor who and listening to music
laters
