Sunday 27th – Sticky Hands

I didn’t originally apply to be a waiter at Piping Rock, I was hoping to be a bartender over summer. However when I was offered the job of waiter instead, laziness got the better of me and I just accepted the job offer. So when I realised that Ryan (the current bartender) was going to be leaving over a month before me, I was all too quick to ask if I could take his job. Obviously, I had my complete lack of bartending skill against me, but the assistant manager was still keen to give me a try-out. So the morning after asking, they gave me a bar to run.


Obviously I can’t have done too bad a job, as later on that day I was told that I could have Ryan’s job if I wanted it. Obviously I said yes.
So this week I haven’t been waiting on people that much, instead I’ve been bartending a lot of the time and waiting only a small amount of time. Which I’m very happy about. Except for working, I haven’t really been up to much this week. I had a couple of evenings off, but these were worse than useless to me as the weather has been crap so I haven’t been able to beach it up. Went to the cinema twice this week, once to see Wall-E, and again on Saturday night to watch the new X-Files film. Both were good, but neither were as good as Batman (which we’re going to try and watch again, this time at the Imax in Manhattan).


Today it threw it down with rain. It reminded me of home.
