just a quick update :)

Yesterday I started working at a bar in a 5 star hotel/casino. I have known that the casino is a 5 star place for many years and I am quite aware that I am working there. However, 5 hours into my shift tonight I managed to put them both together and realised how awesome working there would look on my resume.

The uniforms are pretty cool too. For the bar that I work at (there are about 5 in total) I wear a blue shirt, black pants and a very very long apron that makes me appear to be wearing a floor length skirt. The shirts have a kind of mandarin style collar that goes into a v-neck that allows the well endowed to show their stuff. The sleaves are supposed to be half arm length but for some reason mine go down to almost my wrists. There isn't really anything special about the pants except that they have a cool front crease (from ironing them that way). Although our shirts are supposed to have v-necks one of mine randomly doesn't. I have been told that it used to belong to one of the guys that used to work in that bar which would also explain the length of the shirt. The best thing I should mention is that I don't have to wash my uniform. That’s right, the hotel washes it for me. (yes I know you all hate me right now)

Not only are my clothes cleaned and ironed for me but I also get fed on my breaks. Which is good because they only go for half an hour and there wouldn’t be enough time to go and find food and then eat it too.

So far I have:

• Made friends with a 'bar useful' whom I also discovered is only about 6 months older than me
• Been teased by security guards that were telling me that I was in huge trouble for something that I had supposedly done. They then told me to go make them coffee
• cleaned the entire bar
• polished every glass in the place (found old lipstick marks on about 3 of the ones on the shelf)
• been given two tours of the ‘behind the scenes of the hotel’
• put someone on water (ie. they weren’t allowed to drink anymore alcohol in the entire casino)
• broken a glass
• learned how to properly poor beer
• did the same with champagne
• etc
• etc

That's all for now. I will make an effort to update this more regularly but I cant make any promises :)
