So much for it being dead! It was a beautiful sunny day and so people who weren't at the Melbourne Cup were out in force, and a fair few wanted to come and have fish and chips. I stayed until 5 again, which I'll get a good rate for because of it being a public holiday. I got another delirious comical moment at the end, whilst I was eating my meal at one of the benches, Dinesh was having a break sat at one of the tables, Vicki was on one side behind the counter,...

I did a double at Hooked and it was very busy, possibly due to the fact everyone's got the day off tomorrow. I kept making the system think I was giving refunds so when I cashed up I was out that money, but I corrected it by putting the order through again. Then there was a customer I actually needed to give a refund to because I had accidently put through too many boxes for two, but made the system think I was refunding her the money she actually needed to pay...

Another nice and slow day at Hooked, so I started doing some cleaning jobs for next week because I thought it'd be busy on Tuesday from the public holiday, but Ray (the DJ owner) says it will be dead. I also got a taste of the sort of tasks assigned to a kitchen hand- I got to put lids on salad portions and then take the original labels off with the date on- woohoo! Caroline from Sienna is leaving and so went for a single glass of red wine (something I'm sta...

Today, I was back at the Fitzroy Hooked, which is a lot less busy than Chapel Street, so it was quite a nice relaxing slow day, although I don't like the kitchen staff so much as the Windsor (Chapel Street) one- I think Deno thinks I'm really stupid- he was smirking at me whilst I was cleaning the recycling bin with a chux cloth and enzyme wizard (what I'm supposed to clean everything else with), and then said "You're working very hard, but it's not the sensibl...

In the evening me and Amanda went for a drink at 'Lucky Coq' which is very near Hooked on Chapel Street. The DJ booth was the front of a van, which was quite cool, and it was yet another place where they have sofas to sit on (I quite like this about bars on Chapel Street). We were supposed to be meeting Ed and Danny, who we had given directions to, but they were taking so long that I decided to call it a day and leave, so me and Amanda waited at the tram stop to...
