im a tad tired....

i had a 5 - 10 shift last night. its the longest 5 hour shift i've ever done, because i didnt actually finish until half 12.

as i was just about to clock in Rob asked if i could stay until 11 and i said yes because it meant an extra 15 minutes on my break during the busy bit and i get an extra hours pay for standing around not doing much other than cooking the occasional burger for the drive thru, if its needed.

Mo kept dropping hints that they were going to be short on the close and at about 8, i reluctantly agreed to stay on to just take the unused stock back to the chiller before i left. then, while i was on my break, Rob came into the crew room and pretty much begged me to stay for the whole close, so i just thought 'fuck it. think of the money' and agreed.

I was meant to be doing the kitchen, but as i've never done it before on my own i didnt have a clue what to do, so i just winged it. i took the stock back, as usual i usually do, then thought 'now what?'.
i looked around and decided that the best thing to do would probably be to take everything that needed to be washed out to dive (aka 'washing up') so that Craig could dive it, then i just aimlessly wiped down a couple of surfaces, wandered around a bit looking busy, then started taking the dived stuff back. then i cant remember what i did...Mo had already mopped the floor, so i think it was just putting the dressing table and toasters etc back in the right place, then setting up the breakfast stuff, which is slightly difficult if you've never done a breakfast shift.

i cant have done too badly cos we were allowed to leave at 12.30, instead of the usual 1 AM.
anyhoo, i've probably bored you all with that so i'll think of something else to say.

i've been watching a lot of Fawlty Towers recently because theres a new guy at McDonalds who could only be more like Manuel if he was from Barcelona instead of India. (i managed to reduce Katie to one of her giggling fits just by whispering "this nugget. this four-bag. this smack on head." to her. theres bound to be rumours about us now). to be honest, id rather work with Manuel.

one thing i noticed while watching 3+ episodes in a row is that Basil seems to mention Henry Kissinger pretty much every episode and, more often than not, calls Polly a 'cloth-eared bint'.

havent seen flirty new girl (i do know her name now) since the other day and we arent scheduled to work at the same time at all this week, so i wont see her til after the boat. never mind.
