Marathon shift

I earned over £100 yesterday.

How awesome is that?

After New Years Eve close I was in work the next day for 10am which was almost an open (we opened at 9, the first staff came in at and I was supposed to be on until 5:30. Fate however seemed to have different plans. The closing team was Rich, Hannah and Haris. Rich is a kitchen closer (though can do front but doesn’t really know what he’s doing that well), Hannah isn’t either and Haris might be able to manage kitchen but doesn’t really know what he’s doing that well. So it wasn’t the best situation ever.

Then Hannah phoned in sick. They were now down to two closers and you need at least three (preferably four). So somehow I got talked into staying on and doing the close. We got out at 2:30 meaning that I worked a 16 and a half hour shift. That took some Red Bull. I wouldn’t have agreed to do it but it was time and a half yesterday so when you take off my breaks I got 12 and a half hours at time and a half and 2 and a half hours at premium (after midnight) hours. Not bad.

Afterwards we headed over to Amanda’s party. Well, I say party, I think we missed most of it as when I got there I found both Dannys and Chris there as well as Amanda passed out on the sofa. We spent most of the night watching movies then went for breakfast at 6:30 as soon as the restaurant opened just to annoy Rob :p. Well, and also because we wanted food. I ended up getting back home about 1:30pm ish. It’s been a long few days.
