Bruce Tomorrow!

Looking forward to Bruce Springsteen tomorrow. In fact, that has basically been my entire day, knowing that within 24 hours I will have my mind blown by The Boss. Literally cannot wait to go now, especially since he is playing at the Olympic Stadium, a venue I have yet to experience.

Fiverr

Just about to pootle off to bed when my first ever response to Fiverr.com came through! Fiverr is basically a website where you put your skills up for sale online and a person will pay you a fiver for that service. I have offered my natural British voice for narration and voice-over purposes last week, and I've just gotten a gig to to a British version of this chaps video 

Exciting times are ahead indeed!

'Hungerford'

Mark, Dan and myself have all gotten involved in a small web series production called 'Hungerford.' Mark is assistant producer, Dan is going to be a bit actor and I will be an unpaid runner. A majority of today was spent in my dining room, reading through the entire script and noting down any potential bits and bobs like props and costumes that we would need for the days of filming. It's looking like a fun little indie sci-fi project, think Blair Witch meets Shaun of the Dead and you'll be in the right ball-park; as a result, we are thrilled to be a part of it.

CineClub success

Work was so dead it wasn't funny. We almost didn't get a single food order, even on slow days we get one or two, but we got one, and only one, because our boss politely asked a customer if they could possibly make sure that today wasn't a total waste of time. I was then invited to a very pleasant evening to see the local CineClub entries from across all the schools in the local area, our own club from St Barts included. And what do you know? We won both the peoples choice category and the judges award! Very pleasing outcome considering how Cafe Studios got their first big break in the very same way many years ago.

Premature daytime goal

Finished series one of Friends this morning. Very eager to start the next one actually, just gotta wait until the person who loaded me this DVD comes back from holiday now! But watching the final episode was like, my only goal of the day and I finished that before I even got out of bed so I have been pretty bored!

Did get a chance to help in the charity gaming session of friend of mine set up though. Despite a handful of technical difficulties we finally sorted everything out and helped raise money for a good cause by having a bit of fun ourselves.

On a more random note, I think I will try to wear waistcoats more often now, try to introduce them into my casual look. Sounds good in my head but I will have to try it out myself now. 

Sunday, Bloody (Boring) Sunday

Once again, today was a little bit generic with very little to discuss. No funny customer stories, no amusing accidents and not a whole lot to do since we were rather dead. Big surprise when I got home however as I found out that the postponed date of me doing some evening gaming for charity turns out to be tomorrow! I'll let you all know how that goes.

Pair of Persnickety customers

A pair of work days gone by and they have been quite exhausting. 2 little incidents were rather irksome however and really dampened the experience of my day. The first of which being someone ordering fish fingers with mash potato along with a tuna mayo salad, get this, to go. How the hell they wanted us to successfully bag up mash potato and tuna mayonnaise I'll never know, but we did get around it since we had some spare tupperware lying around. I made a real effort too, I even rolled up a disposable set of cutlery with a napkin so they could take it away and eat it where-ever. I am dead chuffed with myself and I am practically beaming when I delivered it to them. But they ate it while they were still sat at their table. They were in no rush to get anywhere, didn't even stand up. Cheeky rude words.

Secondly we had a lady ordering a gluten free pizza and pasta today, something we rarely have to prepare. The gluten free pizzas we make ourselves from scratch with a pre-made base but we add the tomato and cheese afterwards. Problem is, we were out of the gluten free tomato sauce and were running a bit late with the order anyway. Terrified we would cause a violent allergic reaction within the child who wanted the food I asked the parent if we could substitute it with anything else. Turns out she just wanted to try what gluten free stuff was like. Just no.
