Birthday fun, and other stuff

Well, i'm now another year older, apparently a bit wiser, and well.... tired ;)

I had a wonderful day on tuesday, spent the day at home doing nothing (the first time in 8 years i haven't worked a birthday), and Adam took me out for dinner at a lovely lil Italian place at Glenelg (flashy seaside suburb). On Friday we went to see Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai which had my jaw on the floor for nearly 2 hrs lol It's amazing to see what the human body can do :D

The woman who was supposed to be buying me prints from the exhibition has decided she needs to "put them on hold", due to other things that have come up... she's been umm'ing and ahh'ing over them since about half way thru the exhibit, so i'm wondering if it's just a nice way of being let down, or if she actually wants them. Suppose i'll just have to wait and see.


The cafe trial didn't happen on thursday, as 2 of his staff had called in sick, including the one who was supposed to be training me. So I went back and did it friday, and i stayed for 2.5hrs before I'd had enough. The owner's wife wasn't very nice towards me, i'm there to learn and everything but there's a difference between constructive critisism and being rude. When one of the staff turned to me and said that they couldn't wait for the day to be finished to get away from her.... well... i think that cemented my thinking ;) Plus customer's were treated like idiots, which didn't really impress me. One of the other staff were shouldering me.. literally.. out of their way, even tho i was in the middle of something. Definately not a happy workplace. So that's a no me thinks ;)

Applied for a few more jobs last night tho, so we'll see how this round goes :)

That's about it!
