Friday Afternoon,
As I prepare for the shift ahead I think I'll just get a few things down....
It has been quiet at work of late, people away on Holidays or elsewhere in the outdoors. I ran the bar on my own last night, sending Colin home. No point. Dinner service was steady so the nightly take was still up there but was easily managable with one. Oh Mum, Dad and Damian came in for dinner as well so i took 45 minutes to have a meal with them whilst Ruth covered the bar...... It's good to know I have family that take an interest in what Ido and come and see me at work.....
Clósed the bar at around 11:30pm but it took me almost an hour and a half to finish cleaning up and do the tills. Normally i have someone else to clean up so I was doing the work of two people at close. All good though. After knocking off i sat back alone, with a beer and my thoughts. Listened to some music and relaxed. Played Kite from the Telstra Dome concert, the closing song from the recent Vertigo tour . At Peace...
Got home and couldn't sleep, instead opting to watch 'Rain Man
almost 4pm. Hi Ho Hi Ho off to work I go......

2007
I never thought anyone ever read this thing, i only post on the odd occasion these days. Life always gets in the way..... And then someone i know comes up to me and mentions this blog of mine. Someone whom i had no idea would ever read this. Guess that's the beauty of having an online blog. Private thoughts on a public address system....
Here i am, diving into another year.... Where do i begin??
Christmas this year was rather nice, spending it with family and freinds. Always appreciate them more this time of year. Not that i don't otherwise but...you know??
Christmas eve mass with the family at my old school/church. Been a long time since i've ventured there and memories came flooding back.. All good ones. The to the Pavillion with all the old crew, few drinks and good times.... Stayed at mum and dads chrissy eve. Damian was there to. With the whole family waking up together in the morning, exchanging presents and all that sort of stuff. Lunch at Johns in Toorak was relaxing, mind you the overload of food made the stomach sore. Bloody great food though.... Chrissy night at Don and Glens (mums side of the family) more to eat and a few Corona's....
With this time of year comes an extreme excess of not caring, letting loose and drinking, drinkign and drinking. From nights out at the GB, The Belguim Beer Garden, The Terminus or ending up at stupid places such as Revolver or Room at stupid hours of the morning.
Worked New Years Eve, with a full doorlist and a big function upstairs was always bound to be a busy one. Had alot fo mates come down, making the night that extra bit special, despite not being able to spend all that much time with. We shut the bar just before midnight for about 20 minutes. Gave the staff a chance to take a breather and have a beer. Myself and Nat dressed up in Sumo suits and danced behind the bar looking like complete idiots. Was fun and moreso the crowd seemed to like it.....
Today i've been doing bits and pieces around home. Writing on here, burning cd's, designing cd covers, organising photos..... Work soon......
