Night before the long weekend

Gah! The last working day before the long weekend and It was busy! I wasnt prepared and it was not good I tells ya.

Lets see..Everything started with me coming back late from my break (Double shift. Why did I have to live so far away from the city???), The guys were like "where were you???" wasnt as if they were busy or anything the drama queens (:P). Anyways so the service went alright, until clean up....it's 11.45pm and everyone is tired. and this is the beginning of my bad night.

  • The drains in the kitchen floors are blocked (has never happened until last night) and water is everywhere (washing down floors at the time). My shoes and socks get drenched.

  • Pulling overloaded trolley with stacked food containers into busy bar area (where dumbwaiter to the cool room is located) and having half the food fall onto the floor leaving a huge mess to clean up infront of the patrons and manager :S.

  • 12.15am Finally get to go home and I realise I've lost my travel pass! I still had 3 days left on it. Then even worse I find out that there are no more trains and I have to catch the Night Bus (1st time ever).

  • 12.30am Get to the bus stop and there is a whole lotta people (both who have been working and who have been partying) waiting and I still have an hour until my bus comes. As other buses come and leave I witness many people being told that they cant get onto the bus because it's so full..they have to wait another hour for the next bus..

  • 1.30am My bus finally comes and I am shoved into the bus by people behind me. Was not pleasant...and the bus is crammed with people, I'm at the back...

  • The bus stops at the next stop that I need to get off to change buses, but I cant get out, I call out to the bus driver to wait and I'm almost out the door until my earphones get caught onto some guy's bag...so embarrassing.

  • I'm by myself, It's dark, it's late and I realise that I'm at the wrong stop! there isnt another bus for another hour....Luckily the stop I was meant to get off wasnt a long walk from where I was, but I was freaking out.

  • It's 2am...and my bus doesnt come until 2.30am, it's getting cold, and there isnt a lot of street lighting and I hear drunk people across the road slurring and murmuring...I just want to go home...

  • 2.30am I'm finally on my bus home, I'm freezing but I feel safer now that I know I'm on my way home.

  • 3am, I'm home.

Long heck of a night, I'm glad its over now...
