lover->porsche = employee->bicycle

2 of the best waiters left during a row with the manager and the head-waiter. Well, that they were '2 of the best' is, of course, no absolute but they were 2 of the 3 that were most welcoming to me when I started a week ago! It was quite wild actually, seeing how everyone's voices just gradually raised until they were screaming at each others and the two picked up their stuff and walked off. My next thought was: "how're we gonna make it through the evening?!' Somehow it worked out. That was 3 nights ago. Last night, we had a new girl start and the boss wasn't entirely pleased with her effort. Last night was also the first night that I was left to myself in the bar at the back to refill water, prepare alot of the meals, mix drinks, make desserts and wash glasses (the washer's broken.. sigh) and it worked out. I think it was largely due to the psychological effect of not being the newbie anymore. Made me think more independently and effectively... sigh, my life is a farce! haha I'm too shallow sometimes, but the worst part is my awareness of it.

Found the beach yesterday. Small, but nice! It's 20 minutes walk away.. I'm walking too much! I've walked 45 minutes to get to this café! I'm gonna try and make the owner of the restaurant buy me a bike.. It shouldn't be too hard! He just bought his lover a Porsche! -and since I'm only an employee, that should be in ratio with lover->porsche equals employee->bike, right?

I've stopped smelling the dog.. horror of all horrors, yes.

Thanks Anne, for reading and commenting. You others should do the same (mainly my parents and siblings! ;)

I think I just might stop writing the nonsense about my job, cos I don't think anyone's really into it.

Don't leave out your business-stuff, I actualy find it quite interesting to read about what's happening to you in the south. :)Since I found out you've got this page I've checked it now and then, I like being updated...Hehe Looking forward to find out if you've found Bruno and visited him, and if you're gonna get that bicykle from your boss....

Thnx Elisabeth for the encouragement to write about my job. Look what you've done (ref. "Vikram Seth wannabe"-post).. hehe So if only for you, then I'll keep it up along with the illusion (?) that anyone else might be reading it secretly.
