Just found photos from my work Christmas drinks on the reception computer. It scares me there is photographic evidence of how out of control that night got….

I found a way to express how I feel about working 12 hour night shifts for the last 3 weeks

Chris & Josh - “Backpacker”

My housemate has been making a web series. Beyond the “Hey, that’s my apartment!” novelty, it’s also a really fun series. Check it out.

Also, working at a Backpacker’s hostel makes this even more enjoyable. Silly backpackers!

Working in tourism/hospitality, I am constantly amazed by the tendency of the French to announce their nationality at the first possible opportunity 

At least once a shift:

Me - “Hello, [redacted] backpackers”

French person - “Hello, I am French. Do you have availability?”

See this? This is my “after a break-up, I slept at work and am now halfway though a 16 hours shift” face.

Also, I need to shave…

Work is dead boring, so I am budgeting/planning a trip to go to the Japanese Grand Prix. Serious business!

I have worked 26 out of the last 37 hours. And by worked, I mean I sat reception and:

• Read “The History Boys”
• Facebook’d
• Planned the theatre I will do for the next year
• Facebook’d
• Watched the trailers for every movie release for 2012
• Procrastin-ate everything
• Facebook’d

And I got paid to do it all!

Just when I thought work had ruined my day, a man walks past my desk with bottle of red wine under one arm, and a Mac book play Katy Perry under the other.

Then I remember why I love this place.

Dear jerks,
Using me to find out about a product, then booking it infront of me (excluding me from the sale) is a jerk move. Next time, do your own damn research!!

Sincerely yours,
Someone who wants to stay in a job

1 hour into my epic (and probably illegal) 17 hour work shift:

Customer - “Excuse me, someone has thrown up in the female bathroom”

Me - *poker face*

Customer - “Like, REALLY thrown up. Like, everywhere.”

Me - “…right ….I’ll just go deal with that then. Thanks” 

This is going to be one long-ass fucking shift!
