It's Saturday morning right now t about 9:17pm and I have to work today from 12:30-3 and then 5 to about 10:30 I think. It looks like I'll be working a lot of these split shifts because I'm on the schedule for tomorrow as well. I don't mind though!
Thursday night I actually made $2.50 in tips!!! Woohoo!!! Tipping isn't even an issue in the New Zealand culture and I'm thinking that may be why the prices of things are a bit expensive. The pub got pretty busy at times on Thursday night too...not later though. Most people came in for dinner and drinks or just for drinks right after work. There were a few that had lunch earlier when I worked the first part of my shift and then were still there when I got back! They stayed until 7 or so...let's just say they were completely toasted! The gal couldn't even stand by herself and she was in her 40s! Wow.
By the time I finally got done (I was supposed to be done at 8 but it was busy so I stayed until 10) and walked back to the hostel, every muscle in my body ached and I was completely exhausted! Needless to say I just ate some food and then washed up and got in bed.
Yesterday I had the day off so I did some laundry, bought some better shoes for working, took a nap and signed the contract and other papers for the job. But of course I forgot to go open up a bank account so I'll have to do that Monday so they can pay me! Then I spent the rest of the night having some drinks with Morgan, a Kiwi girl staying in the hostel, and then grabbing a late dinner of vegetarian lasagne with Beate. Tony never called me about sailing and I'm kind of glad because I was still so tired yesterday.
I've decided I'm liking this job because it keeps me busy and everyone I work with is super nice! The people that I'm serving have been great too and I even had an offer to stay with a customer's brother when I go to Coromandel! Haha.
I hope everyone's doing well!
