Last night I didn't sleep well... why? I'm not to sure. I wish I knew but I don't I can't even blame it on the dreams this time :( Any way by the time I decided that it was about time I just gave up on the sleep idea it was about 9:00 on my day 20. I jumped in the shower and got ready for my first day of work at my new fancy job. It was a slow morning but I didn't mind to much and at around 11:30 I walked in to the John M Keetings office for my orientation. I signed away allot of papers and got all my paper work and uniforms. Then it was time for me to start. I spent about 45 minutes tinkering with the training till, served 4 tables, made my first cappuccinos, wiped down the bar area, the ledges and folded some napkins. Then the manager told me to go home because it was so dead. don't get me wrong we're a popular establishment but when the weather is as nice as it is now every one wants to be outside an that leaves us servers on the inside with nothing to do. I found my self cursing the sun for the first time since my cousin Amanda didn't quite put my suntan lotion all over my back when we were like 14... ouch that hurt! but moving on... So I left with every intention of coming back tomorrow. I went shopping at Penny's for new white shirts and then I ran in to my friend Vincent from my first hostel. It was good to see him again and I couldn't believe it was just 2 weeks ago that I met him. After dropping him off at the train station I went back home and was barely in the door when Trevor told me to go get ready we were going on a pub crawl. I quickly changed and I was off with Trevor, Trish, Whitney and Brianne. (Jills boy is back so I don't know when we'll see her next. lol) We had a great time. even after the pub crawl itself was over, after a stop at Macdonald's, we continued on. We had allot to drink! What can I say? We had allot of fun. I love it! We met one of Trevor and Trish's friends from university, who is studying here in Dublin and I learned the terrible truth about what happens when you donate your body to science! lets just say unless you want med students peeling the skin off your feet like a sock... don't do it!!! and on that happy not I am going to leave you all to go and cry myself to sleep for various reasons that I am not all that anxious to spell out for the whole world... but really don't worry about me... I'm happy just starting the official count down to the new heroes ... 1 week and counting!!! : ]
