With only 4 of us doing room service at work, if one person can’t do things it often means that one of the others has to pick things up, so since one of the night room service guys has had some personal things happening in his life over the last month & the rest of us have been dealing with it. the point of this blog? Well I have to do a number of night shifts over the next week, which means 7pm-7am. I am not a fan, but if I don’t do it, then someone else has to, so what are you going to do?
What this all meant for me yesterday afternoon was that I had to make the decision to stay up as late as possible last night & prepare my body for the late night I have coming this evening. It was aided by two things. No.1 I had to get up at 4am to say bye to Georgie & Julie who had to get to the airport for 7am flights, and No.2 There was a party happening for Stevie, a guy I have worked with for the last couple of months.
Georgie & Julie got to bed nice & early, so I headed out to keep myself awake. This is the first time that I have been out with a large group of people from work & it was nice to see everyone having fun. There may be lots of stresses with my line of work, but the bond that comes through shared experience (and the consumption of a fair bit of beer) is a strong one, and the stresses of everyday are usually left at the bar door.
As usual, I think the photos might tell a better story, so I will let them do the talking.

Basicallly the only view we had of Stevie all night…

Girls about the town.

The relationship I share with all chefs is one of mutual respect and admiration!
