it's friday and i'm late posting for some reason!
yesterday's interview was pretty good, obviously though because of the women involved with the interview on wednesday and the fact that i was interviewed by a bloke yesterday i think i know which one i'd prefer ;)
although the interview yesterday could lead to a job that pays more, i thikn that the one from wednesday would lead to a better job...and that's not because of the women
worked in the pub last night, found out that my friend the chef was sacked on monday. short story is that he wanted the day off, he was told that he could only have it if he found his own cover because the landlord had already made plans. cover was found, but the guy who was due to cover broke his ankle the other week, so couldn't do it. chef was told on friday (according to the notices at work) that he couldn't have the time off as a result. he called in on monday morning and said that he wasn't coming in and would be back in on tuesday. landlord found this unacceptable as chef is a department head and was let go.
this is a shame, because chef is bloody good at what he does, but i know that he's been unhappy there for a while too. anyway as a result landlord is now spending a lot of time in the kitchen, so more hours are available on the bar/waiting. so i agreed to do them.
i respect chef and his choices, and if i had a full time job i might back him up a bit more. but, and i hope he understands this, at the moment i've got to take all the work i can, especially after what the benefit people told me on tuesday (go back and have a look if you want the details). so as much as i feel i might be letting him down by almost siding with the landlord, i've got to do things for me. I've put other people first in the past and that caused a lot of heartache and shit for me, which i'm still dealing with now. right now and for the forseeable future, i'm number one priority, i'm doing things for me now and that's the bottom line.
that means that i worked lunchtime today, easy work, although we were expecting a rush that didn't really happen. the other barmaid has only been on the bar for 3 weeks, and the waitress started last week...but we did well and we were spot on with the till too :)
i feel like it's going to be a long weekend, i've got a pile of things that i need to sort through and get rid of the crap and deal with the rest. i've been invited out clubbing by the girl who split with me because i don't like clubbing...yeah that doesn't make sense to me either, but apparently i'm a good laugh to be around so she' like me to come out with her and her sister...i'm undecided, although i think i know what i'll say...thanks, but no thanks
got a headache coming on
can you get a headache from eating too many prawn crackers? (he says reaching for another)
i now have friends on myspace and facebook (look back a couple of days it's all there in b&w) but remember peeps this is my home and this is where i'm more comfortable saying things and showing off the joke that is my body

ok this is it peeps, this is the song for the weekend
it's an awesome tune and something i'd not heard in a while until i played it yesterday. only problem is that the copy ive got of this song is scratched :(
but that's ok because i just downloaded it ;)
love this song for so many reasons...it sticks to the metal/rock that i grew up with, but it's got such a positive vibe about it :)
anyway peeps that's me done for the day
those of you who won't be back, have a good weekend, see you monday
those of you who will, i'll be about tomorrow at some point i'm sure :)
laters :)

you should always be doing stuff for you. you are the number 1 in your life and dont forget it.
a pub eh? so if i ever end up in your neck of the woods and show you the cleave, do i get a free drink? ;)
show the cleave and you canget a drink alright :)
I totally think you should put yourself first here....do what you have to do...its not personal. Its just business.
Yay for more hours!
As I am feeling sorry for chef, it WAS his responsibility to find someone to cover for him. Sometimes it sucks to be in a leadership position.
Have a good weekend!
POD... are they a Christian Rock band?
