Working stiff...

Meanwhile, am semi getting used to working at Pitcher. The job, I'm getting used to, but the people? And the atmosphere? Not so great. Not a welcoming or comfortable place at all. I've met one other person who agrees with me... and the guy who got the job before, Michael, has resigned and his last day was yesterday. He just finished high school last year and has done a bar course and he resigned because now, the lucky bastard is tending bar for Cirque Du Soleil while they're here in Sydney (which will be for the next three months!). He and Christine are the only two people around whom I feel really comfortable. My supervisor, Vicki, is pretty cool too. 

Not to say I've not spoken to a couple of nice people since I started there... but on the whole, the place is still really stiff. 

Thankful for the fact that I'm getting used to the job though :) And I guess I should give the people a little time before I keep calling em stiff and unfriendly :P

For now though, huzzah for weekends! :D

"My whole life flashed before my eyes!... It was really boring."

Man, that movie cracked me up big time :D

Meanwhile, Jo called me back and offered me a temp job for now and I'll be starting on Monday and working for a month. It's to cover for the Documents Coordinator, Lizzy, while she's on holiday. I'm currently sick with the very sudden onset of a cold, but hopefully it clears up a bit over the weekend. Goodbye late nights gabbin with Gill and Manda! Hello 6am starts! ;)

In the meantime, I'm still looking around for P/T work for when the month is over although Jo indicated that there was the possibility of another opening. We'll see how it goes.

As the class that I was told was supposed to happen last week, was in fact this Saturday, I have to prepare for that. I also have a friend's 22nd over at Pancakes on the Rocks on Sunday, but I may call to say I can't make it if I'm not feeling any better... I might even have to cancel on Saturday :( I don't want to get any of my kiddies sick!

Mel is leaving for the Phils on Saturday... going for a week. I'm hoping and praying she has a safe trip.
