first working experiences...
... were better than expected.
Friday:
after school I jumped home quickly and grabbed my stuff, so I was in the bureau on time. We then took off in cars, towards Oberschleißheim, where a part of the "Deutsches Muesum" keeps planes - old and new ones ^___^
when we arrived (I drove with Yasemin and Julia from my class, who also work at mise en place) we started setting up everything inside the big hall with the planes, we had to lay the tables and everything, and when that was finished (took some time, of course^^) we prepared drinks and stuff in our "kitchen"-part of the hall. then we prepared the drinks for the reception and then it was already time for the people to come in.
at that time we already were in our ridiculously ugly working clothes, and the real work started. I was told to do drinks service, meaning constant running around with any available beverage. so, when the people finally sat down, I had to go and give everyone the white wine, but there were several tables that wanted beer, so I got beer for them. The food came and went, and I served anyone who wanted wine and beer and so on. there was one table with 9 guys and one woman, and all the guys only wanted beer. *sigh* all night long, they wanted BEER.
well, when the people were gone again my arm hurt, my legs hurt, my feet hurt and I just wanted to be home, but we still had to get all the stuff packed again, also the tables and everything. on 1:30 yase, julia, me and two other girls left, yase drove all of us home (me first because my home was closest^^) and after talking to my mum a little bit I got to bed because had to work on saturday morning.
it got a little stressful, but I arrived on time at Holiday Inn saturday morning, I got into my ugly clothes, and then we had to help with some weird conference of the feet surgeon association. they had lots of drinks on tables, and we had to take care that the empty bottles and glasses got back to the kitchen. then, when that was done, we had to help setting up the drinks for lunch, and then during lunch we again had to take care of the empty plates and glasses and everything.
afterwards there was little more to do, we got the rest of the stuff that was full or empty back to the litchen, then we had to polish some of the cutlery, then work was over and I just got HOME.
I was home at around quarter to four and I was lazy for the rest of the day, and went to bed early because I was damn tired.
today my mum and I will go to Heim&Handwerk, and that's it ^___^
Heim&Handwerk cancelled, because it would be too late until we arrive anyways. so, today will be all about maths and german and guitar hero.
