On top of that he threatened to fire me for taking my birthday weekend off next week, even though I had written it down in the diary a good month earlier. Yes, I was the third person to put their name down, but it's not my fault he only does the rosters the week before. He's had the best part of a month to check the diary, and if he had a problem he could have rung me. Instead, he waits until Friday night, when I start work, then proceeds to lose his temper at me IN the bar, IN FRONT of customers waiting at the bar, leaving me feel heaps awkward and a bit upset. A few customers thought he was bang out of order too. Shit man, that sucks :( How come there were so few working?? Our glassy called up 30 minutes before his shift on both Friday and Saturday to call in sick, and my boss only keeps a skeleton crew on the weekends to save on costs. Before the takeover and renovation of the pub, we used to run 13 staff between two bars - inc. glassies - now that the upstairs bar is run separately, we only run a max of 6 staff not inc. the General Manager. Because my Boss is so reluctent to hire any new staff - he doesn't even have a "reserve roster" - a list with 3 or 4 names he can fall back on should any of us have to have a night off for whatver reason, it leaves us horribly short, and then when we get a night where we get slammed - e.g last night, we're on the back foot. It's annoying to say the least.

It's annoying to say the least. As a professional hospo worker, you should be able to handle that. Saturday night we had a 100-strong Santa-crawl come in. All Irish. I was the only person working in the bar at the time. You juts gotta keep it together and if anyone has a problem with how you're going about it, that's THEIR problem. WGMG: Was at one of my after-work bars Saturday night/Sunday morning. Smoking hot kiwi chick rocks in and we get to talking, as I'm about to hook in I get called back in to work. Had to settle for a phone number and facebook add. Fuming.

Victoria Uni (just the local one in Wellington), and I'm doing physics and psychology :) (well, that's assuming I actually passed my exams and they'll let me in). Not highly exciting stuff, I know, but I have no real direction for the future.

It's amazing, they make the enrolment ridiculously complicated and wordy for Australian students, and then really straightforward if you're a foreign based student.

It's not that it's particularly wordy, it's just that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to planning out my courses.

Thiswhole week coming up is shaping up to be a really good week. Had laser tag today, FIFA marathon on Wednesday, Heskey Time on Friday night, mate's 18th on Saturday and then running squad wind-up Sunday. I'm praying they don't want me to work Friday/Saturday night, although knowing my luck they will ask.

The air is refreshing and if you need to spew you just munt over the side. AJohn wrote:WGMG: My hangover this morning. Fuck you people who don't get hungover. I hate you. People who "don't get hungover" don't drink enough. I had a friend who used to say that, I took him out one night. He called me up the next day and spent 10 minutes cursing me out for how messed up he was.

I get seasick even on a relatively calm day, so I'm not sure I'd find it all that great.
