A girl who is one of the regular's at Sienna came in to Hooked to have some fish and chips- she must either be on Chapel Street a lot, or like the places I work! The Hooked shift was a bit annoying as there wasn't really that much to do earlier on, and then at 3.45, when I started to cash up for my 4 o' clock finish time, there was a sudden rush and so I didn't finish until 5, when the evening girl came in. This meant I only had an hour's break or something bef...

I woke up to go to the cafe overlooking Caulfield Park which had Wi-Fi so I could Skype Grandma and everyone for her birthday party, but felt too full still from a banana and caramel Roti I had last night to try their Shakshouka, which I had wanted to try whilst looking at their menu beforehand.

It got quite steadily busy, which was good as it's all good practise for when I do my first evening shift tomorrow (a Friday night which s going to be pretty hectic). I just feel a bit bad that...

Today I had my first shift on my own at Hooked. I got there pretty early, since with 3 changes of public transport, there's a lot of room for lateness, and so wanted to make sure I got there on time, but I definitely needed the extra time! I didn't realise how long it would take to do everything before opening and so I didn't plan which things took higher priority over others very well, and so felt a bit flustered as it was getting nearer to 11.30 (opening time...
