I'm on page 185 and I've been reading for an hour! *nerd*

Work was good but WAY tiring, very busy for 4 hours, put my memory to the test 'cause every time I was about to do something then I was asked to do something else...and I never want to let anyone down so I end up with 6 or 7 complicated instructions in my head!

For example, today I left the kitchen to give out two meals, one was steak and ale pie with no onions, and the other one was steak and ale pie with onions. There was no way of telling them apart so I was trying to remember that my left hand was holding the one with NO onions. As I left the room this guy on table 36 asked me for the bill so I said I'd get it for him. I gave the food to the people on table 17 and as I went to the bar to get the bill for 36, my boss Ray asked me to go downstairs and ask Ben (the chef) if the prawn cocktails all came with melon, and if so could the lady on 16 change her order to deep-fried brie with salad rather than cranberry. Right. So I got the bill for 36 and took it down, I went into the kitchen and asked Ben the thing. Ben told me to ask Ray if the woman on 16 would like the prawn cocktail with sorbet instead of melon or would she still like to change her order. I came out of the kitchen to tell Ray and Kate asked me to set up 4 mains on 25, one with soup, one with steak and one with starter cutlery; and then asked if I could make up 2 rasberry tortes and an apple and cherry pie with one scoop of vanilla icecream and strawberries (for table 32). I was like "...eh?" so I got the bill from 36 and took the guys bank card to the bar to get his receipts, I set up the cutlery on 25 (forgetting the steak knife and having to go back to get it) and then before I could get back to the kitchen to make the (horribly complicated) desserts, Levi asked me if I knew whether the 3 coffees and cappuchino had been put on the tab for 41. I went to the bar and asked Texx, trying to remember what desserts 32 had ordered. He made a big deal out of it even though it wasn't me who'd forgotten to put the damn coffees ON the tab, it should've been Kate. Texx gave me the card and recepits for 36 back and I gave them to Levi to take downstairs and told him to come into the kitchen when he was done to help me make apple pie.
Ben got angry with the clingfilm, and then I had to walk home.

Now! On with the book!
