Well work has been odd lately. These two mid 40's guys keep coming in to see me. They think i look like Shirley Manson, i keep telling them it's just cos i wear black eyeliner to work and have dark red hair. Chris and Craig (from Today Today) and the rest of the CNNNN crew came in on Saturday which was cool....two of the guys kept trying to pick me up tho which grew very tiresome. We have a big staff meeting on Sunday...if we don't go we're fired which sucks, they didn't have to threaten us, we were all going to go anyway. I swear for a slightly alternative, way chilled out bar, they've been really uptight latley. They've been firing people all over the shop for stupid reasons. They fired Hamish cos they wanted him to work as a glassy on Friday night (he's a bartender)and he said no. You can't fire someone for refusing to do someone else's job. So i basically adopted the job as well as my own as we were so understaffed after that. Both bouncers were sick so we had sleazy replacements, 2 people were sick behind the bar, and the glassy was sick. So it was myself and another bartender behind the bar, this stupidly annoying newbie who has taken everyone's shifts, and a manager.....on a FRIDAY NIGHT! The cool manager was on on sat night so we stayed around after close and drank and played pool to chill out and re-group. Everyone has been so nervous at work cos of all the above mentioned. I had my first joint in years which was amusing. We stayed til around 6am. Dave and Tim (the manager) wanted me to come out with them after that still but i thought i should get home to my boy's place.
For those who don't know my boy is scott. Scott is the boy i wrote about last who i had a massive crush but he had a girlfriend. Well now i'm the girlfriend....of 9 months! Yay! Everything's great between us. Plus he's a chef so he loves making food and i love eating it. We met at university. He also studies architecture...he wants to design restaurants.
I'm on holidays from uni for the next 5 weeks. This is my first week with nothing to do and i'm so bored cos most my friends work full time. I'm trying to get the motivation to start writing again and maybe even pick up my guitar and start playing again. I'm doing a few art classes at the end of the holidays so i'm exited about that but at the moment i'm just trying to get into normal sleeping habits...at the moment they're totally reversed thanks to working til 5am on weekends and now having no real reason to get up. Today i didn't get up til 4pm! What a waste. Plus scott worked today so it was lonely waking up in the near dark (it's raining sooooooo much today). I love lying in bed listening to the rain.
Anyway that's about it, i'll stop rambling and boring you all.
Take care guys and gals

Here are some picks from the pub a couple of weeks ago. Timmy our glassy and part time bartender left for spain to be with his girlfirend. It was a bit of a messy night hence why everyone looks trashed. Pity dave and i were working so we look trashed just cos of that fact.
no photos anymore =( too many complaints
