I asked for hours at work...I certainly got them!!

I've made it pretty clear to the guys at work that the more hours they can send my way the better - especially as now I'm thinking about purchasing a laptop - my apartment has an Internet connection and i think in the long run it will be more worth while instead of topping up and adding to what must now be around $200 of credit on my Internet card alone!

Well I got paid a fair sum yesterday - pay day's Wednesdays - but just over half of that is to go on rent straight away and i don't want to be a total hermit while I'm out here, I do actually want to get out and about still! Though theres a danger of burning the candle at both ends and K.Oing myself physically.....it may already be happening.

yesterday I was sheduled to start work at 4.30 which is the earliest time I'd been asked to come in as of yet but I was woken by a phone call from one of the assistant managers, Mike, asking if i could cover his shift at 12.00...it was 11.30!! i agreed, probably largely due to the fact that i was still in a state of wakingupness and wasn't 100% sure what my name is let alone making life changing decisions such as covering a shift! Anyway, like i said, i agreed, said that I'd be there as close to 12 as possibly but i need to carry out the three S's first. I still got there at 11.50 and began to work. I wasn't for a good hour or so later that i realised that i was working later still and that the possibility of me having to work through the covered shift and my original shift until close began to dawn on me, i text Mike to see if he was coming in later to which a half suspected 'Na' was the reply - dang, the prospect of a 13 hour shift was a little bit like getting a kick in the nuts but I'm pretty sure customers could see dollar signs in my eyes should they have looked close enough!! to be fair, the day went pretty well. There was a function up stairs that started at 6, and with me being the function kid now at around 5.30 i went up and started to sort out the bar and get the place ready.

It was a really good evening and as it was a Police Christmas party, you know, the people who deal with drunks and people who drink way to much, everyone was smashed - there was even a made-my-night moment shared by one other spectator and myself involving a serious wardrobe malfunction with this stunningly beautiful must-be-around-25 blonde girl - she was smashed, probably the most drunk out of everyone there and she was re-arranging her dress around her boobs when, something happening and out they came in all there glory, now, because of the state she was in it took a good 5 seconds for her to realise anything was wrong so i was happy to do my duty for the male population and take in and stare at them with a perverted smile upon my face!!

Anyway, after they all left and the clearing up had been finished it was indeed 1.00am, completing the 13 hour shift and leaving me a little bit tired, i woke up this morning however - I've taken to calling 2pm in the afternoon 'mornings' now as this is the general time i awake from my slumber - feeling like absolute crap - and have done all day, i had to go into work earlier and asked to get my shift covered which they managed to do and i went back to bed till about 5pm, its 8.05pm now and i think i may have overslept a little now as I'm not so much tired, just feel like rubbish. I'm in again tomorrow and Saturday and they have Sunday off and my plans for that special day, as the man himself intended, is rest!
