some idiot threw the wedding cake last night
for most of the others it was a very good night
we were finishing early, surely going to be done by midnight
but then a stupid drunk decides to pick up the very expensive wedding cake and throw it around
then of course some other drunks thought it funny and everyone's having a cake fight
then the party was over
my mum, the sympathetic person that she is, actually gave the bride and groom a discount and made them quickly leave before the manager of the reception found out [and let them go through the discussions the next day instead of ruining their wedding day]
then got us to clean up the mess
scrap off the cake on the dance floor, then mop it off
and the rest of us with ice buckets of hot water, on our knees rubbing the carpet with napkins
then the manager comes out in the middle 'WHAT IS THIS?!'
it was quite scary
we had to stay back an extra hour because of that
half of the waiters were attending a wedding the next day, and i'm working again at that wedding
i didn't know i would tire so much, if i did, i would have put myself at a closer table.
my tables sucked
i had one table, which were a bunch of young people [tho older than me] that drank constantly and there was a particular girl who kept yelling at me for more beer and eating everyone's food
so, i was carrying a six pack of beer over from the par to the opposite side of the room between every course
the other table was bigger, the actual table was unnaturally bigger
which is good
and the people were older
which is good cos they don't drink alot and they are calmer
but they kept asking for stuff
like a lady came and changed to that table and i had to get a chair and setting and everything for her
and i took a while since i had to clear some plates and stuff
but then after i went through the trouble of grabbing a chair and finding a cover and everything i find that she's already grabbed a chair from another table
and they ate bloody slow
people would wander off and the people remaining wouldn't let me take away their food or the others would just sit there with the food half eaten saying they're not finished
how do they expect me to keep up if they won't finish eating so i can pack it up and bring out the next course while having to grab tonnes of beer and collecting empty bottles AND being on the other side of the room from both the kitchen and bar?
anyway
hoping today will be brilliant
and we've got lots of waiters attending so that will be interesting
it's my old neighbour's wedding, will also be able to see the girl who used to cut our hair!
on friday [boxing day] me and my brother planned to wake up at 6 and leave the house at 6:30 to be at chadstone by 7am.
but
we slept in till 6:30, left at 7 and got there at 7:30
which was still decently early
first shop i went into was jigsaw
i love their stuff
and it was 50% off everything!
i got a belt for my mum, which i quite like, if she doesn't want it i want it, and i purple shirt for myself
was tempted to get a blue dresss with gold patterns, and lots of the coats were beautiful...ahh but i thought 'this is only the first shop! better save the spending for other potentially better sales'
didn't go to many shops
after jigsaw i had a look in kookai, tried some dresses on, moved on to myer
the dress i had been wanting to get since last month wasn't there anymore, but it's ok, it wasn't that great
i found another dress for $60 [previously $200], a review cardigan, some shorts, a few tshirts
thats from myer
the lines pissed me off
had to line up to try stuff on and to pay
lined up once to pay, finally got there and the lady says i have to go to another counter cos they couldn't take off the little thingy on the review cardigan
so i had to line up at another counter with an even longer line
and it was stupid
then had to line up again wen i went downstairs to try on stuff and to pay
finally got some bathers
got it from jetty surf
i hate surf shops
the people there are annoying
with their ruffled hair, flip flops and surfy attitude
while lining up
a whole group of people cut in by making a new branch in the line
pissed me off
left my brother to pay for it while i went to look at a shoe shop
found some shoes that i liked
tony bianco, $80
but decided to stick to my previously chosen pair in knox
also got something from dangerfield for $40
it's a playsuit
thoe i didn't know it at the time, i thought it was a shirt or a short dress
took me a while to figureout why i couldn't fit through the opening
bought some creams and stuff from l'occitane for my aunty
had lunch and went home
slept
it was only around 11 by that time
woke up and pushed my older brother to take me to knox
there i bought some sandals from betts
then went to myer
where my brother bought some belts while i looked through the suspenders
i have decided
i want white 25mm y-shaped suspenders
then did a quick scan of the big leather bags
tried on all the hats and bought one
bought a country road bag for brian [side bag, don't even THINK of those big sausage ones]
and then we went home
tired
julz's birthday party tomorrow
jade's masquerade party on saturday

looks like you had a great boxing day!
so many bargains you picked up!
i didn't go this year...cos i went last year and was quite buggered for a number of days.
i'm hoping of dropping by jb soon in the next few days because of their "crazy sale"....but i went into JB on xmas eve and the line was unbelieveable... and i hate waiting in line too...so i didn't even bother.
anyway, we must catch-up soon! i haven't seen you since coffee club? which seems like yonks and yonks ago.
regardin your blgo post though, sounds like a hectic wedding. and yeah, drunks at weddings are so not cool. and i feel sorry for the bride and groom...their cake was ruined by a bunch of morons.
talk to you soon!
britt.
