Okay so
I think my latest money-making time-saving scheme may be pushing me over the edge, but, as always, my sense of pride is not letting me drop it and move on. With the uni break underway, I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look for another job. You know, get some money on the side, save up for going away at the end of next year, that kind of thing. Since I love working at the coffee shop I decided to only look for casual things, so they wouldn’t interfere with what I’m doing at the moment. Just trying to keep my priorities straight. Well, turns out that working more than one job is hard. I’ve totally given up on the fantasy of sleeping for more than six hours and have come to the conclusion that people are just the worst. How have I come to this conclusion? Because my new, part-time casual gig is as a server (that’s right, I’m doing more customer service).
I’ll be honest, it’s not all bad. I actually really like some of the people I’m working with and have a good time battling through the day with them. Between all the serving at private function rooms all over Melbourne, we get to go to some pretty cool stuff and go to some pretty random places. Like just last week I worked a shift at an ice skating rink in Melbourne. I didn’t even know Melbourne had ice skating rinks! Well, I mean, I did know that, but still. It was awesome. Afterwards we were all allowed to play on the ice (okay, so we weren’t technically allowed, and security got pretty mad, but still) and even though it looked cold, the function rooms were toasty warm.
So even though I complain basically non-stop about how terrible it is working this much and being this tired during my holidays, there are some cool perks (mainly money) so I really need to shut up and just enjoy myself.
