Title

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.
