Yesterday was rather boring throughout the whole day. It went like this:
I woke up late to church, so I hurriedly put on some jeans, a polo and a sweater. I rushed to brush my teeth and comb my messy hair. We took off to church. We then came back home and I got to drive the M3 once again. Its been a while since Ive driven that car, although I see it everyday in the garage parked to my car it is rare for me to drive it.
We got home and started making breakfast. I was still tired so I kind of let my brother and mom do all the cooking. Yeah I know Im bad, but hey at least I toasted the bread. I was just reading the newspaper on the couch most of the time. There is always a drug violence article in the newspaper, it never fails.
Got done with breakfast and then went upstairs to take a nap. I took a 3 hour nap and then woke up to get ready. A couple of friend and I were volunteering at our schools concession stand for the basketball game. I took a quick shower and got ready. I was supposed to meet a friend at 4:45 pm, but I ended up getting there like at 5:05 pm. He got mad, but I told him to take a chill pill.
This was his first time and Ive been doing these for quite some time so I know all the drills and rules. When we got there we started prepping by bringing ice for the fountain drinks, making carriers for drinks and nachos, making popcorn, and bringing out the cups and lids. My supervisor broke us up into teams. My usual partner and myself were like the trainers. The two newbies (my friends) were given new positions. One was with me he was nothing, but my cashier. I did all the drinks. My other friend was doing nothing, but getting the cashiers orders like getting water, nachos, popcorn, hot dogs and sausages. There was another kid who I didnt know, but he was drink provider for my usual partner. There were 3 stations. I was in one my partner was in the other one and in the last one I had my supervisor. There are only two fountain drink dispensers so myself and the other kid have to be ready to attend the customers on our left and right.
Anyways, the game wasnt even packed, there were people, but not as many as other times. I expected a lot of customers, but it was quite dead. I like it when theres a ton of people to help because it makes it exciting, but not this time. It would have shown the newbies how it really gets, but maybe next time. Public events such as Cirque du Soliel are a lot funner too because there are twice as many people and we can sell beer. We have to pour the beer so I have experience in that AND we can put a tip cup which we can make money. The bad thing is I havent done a public event in a while. The ones that I did do were awesome because I got to Kiss and AC/DC for free just because I was working at the concession stand.
My school raped (sorry for the language) the other team real bad so people left really early. We closed up 5 minutes into the third quarter and started cleaning up. We got to eat some of the leftover hot dogs and took some popcorn home. The food paid off especially since we were all hungry. When business was slow I had my friends to talk to so that was good to keep each other busy and entertained.
We then left and our supervisor told us that if we wanted to come and help out on Wednesday and Saturday that would be great. I signed up for both days because I love doing this. The 4 of us signed up for Wednesday and 3 of us for Saturday, one wasnt sure if he would be free to go.
We drove to my friends house to chill, but he ended getting a call from his parents that he had to go to another city an hour away to drop off some meds. He was angry at that and we decided to take off. They invited us to go along with them, but I wasnt in the mood to be on the road for an hour and a half.
I came home and gave my mom the popcorn I had because she was watching a movie. I sat and watched the movie till it ended. I stopped at the laundry room and took most of our clothes upstairs. I do all the separating of clothes for me and my brother. He is very lazy and it irritates me when it comes to his clothes. My brother and his room is.... a mess! Thats a different story.
I put my clothes away and got on my laptop till around 2 am. I was tired and headed out to bed.
That sums up yesterday, pretty boring day, actually.
Oh I recommend the new Deadmau5 album 4x4=12 its really good. For those of you who dont know him, he plays techno music and djs for other artists as well. Check it out if you're into techno/trance/house music.
Until my next post.

It's good that you have the concession to help with and sounds like you know you're way around. That's when it's at its best!
ReplyDeleteI hope you give service with a smile - at least!
To Micky,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been doing for about a year and a half. I've learned from my mistakes and that's how I know so much. We've made tips before and they were great, especially at public events.
Always do! :)
Sounds like my roommate really messy and can't keep things a bit neat.
ReplyDeleteoh well
Later
