my first shift,

went well - got all hectic around lunch time, but thats to be expected... cant say it was the first time i've ever pulled a pint though - that was last monday that that happened. have to say though, i do enjoy the job. hardly glamorous, but it keeps my busy, and the others who work there are all dead friendly and helpful (as long as you stay out of the kitchen at lunch times!)

so anyway, last mondays training was kinda overshadowed by the events of tuesday and the grim goings-on that overtook the former part of the week. my mouths not hurting so much now, although eating is still quite a challenge. theres only so much yoghurt and bananas you can eat with you're antibiotics and painkillers, before you start craving a bacon and blue cheese burger at greatly reduced staff rates...

but for now, lunch tomorrow will be spent with my wife and the spritely martin pickles; more than enough to make up for the lack dietary variation, and a whopper 5pm till closing shift to look forward to.

if you fancy a trip out tomorrow, you know where i'll be.
