I have a spatula and I’m not afraid to use it…

So I went into the cafe today to get a copy of the menu for tomorrow night where I am filling for Jasper at Luke’s request. Not only was the menu not written, but nothing had been ordered. A sell out crowd and no food to feed them. Jasper is fucking his job up more than usual to try and make my night shit, screwing Luke over for his own petty gains.

Ohh I am down, but Kyle lifts me up in a way that I haven’t experienced in a while. Why do you have to live so far away?

 I EMailed the restaurant to make a booking, and they’re fully booked out for a private function! I could go elsewhere, but I want to see my friends so I’ll make it another day, I just hope everyone can come. I’m really looking forward to this.

 So if you’re still paying attention, you may have noticed that I haven’t written a post in a very long time. This is because my browser crashed and I lost all my saved passwords so I couldn’t log on automatically. I have only just discovered that the password was emailed to my old internet account, which I never check.

So, a brief outline of what’s been going on in my world, highlights and lowlights.

I’ve been going out on the weekends, without Ben. He hasn’t made contact since returning from Cairns and everytime that I have he’s been to busy so I guess he’s just not that into me. Time to move on. One time, while walking home from a big night out, I was crossing the Story Bridge. Low and behold there was this guy trying to climb over the fence to jump so I talked him down.

Work is still work, only I’m getting next to no hours so I think I’m going to have to find a new job. I’ve been keeping in contact with Luke, Jasper is running the place into ground as usual. If he doesn’t get rid of Jasper I fear that the place will close after Christmas. Everytime I go into the cafe it pisses Jasper off no end, he slams doors and gets all shitty. I love it. Luke has also asked if he can put me on as a casual staff member when Jasper isn’t working, which Jasperfound very threatening. Or at least that’s what I assume from the fact that he’s been going about spreading lies (thank you for your concern, but no, I am not a drug addict).
It’s my birthday next week, so I’m planning to go to dinner at the restaurant with some friends, have the degustation, get drunk and go out or something.

Anyway I have to go and get ready for work, VIP late night shopping tonight so I have a late shift. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the restaurant.

 Well I opened up yesterday and held my own on my own and apparently did very well. I only seem to screw up when the site manager is there. She had a chat to me this morning telling me how she had recieved good reports about me. We then moved onto the topic of Chef. Chef, despite having worked in many kitchens for many years and being our head chef has never finished his apprenticeship. Technically Chef is not a chef (although because cheffing is compentancy based with the ammount of work he’s done it would be a simple thing for him to become qualified)!

OK, so it’s been a week. Lemme update. Work, work, work, some more work followed by some work and then off to the cafe to say hello to the folk I used to work with. I had discovered that Sunday was my day off, so Al and I decided to go out Saturday night. The staff from the cafe also decided to go out so we were going to meet up with them after they finished work. I rang Ben to see if he wanted to come, but alas he’s in Cairns for a week. Went out, got trashed, sat about and did fuck all today. I must go to the gym tomorrow, I haven’t been all weekend. Ohh yeah, Jasper had another hissy fit at the cafe, only this time I wasn’t there so I missed the entertainment. I hope he doesn’t run that place into the ground. Short update, I start work early in the morning. My first day without the chef, I’m operating without a safety net. Spooky, eh?
