R.I.P Brother

There hasnt been an awful lot to report on here to be honest. The bar's still open and will be for another few weeks so I'm still getting free accomodation till then. I've moved up onto the bar now so it should be alot easier for me to get a job behind the bar somewhere else if one comes up. Tuesdays are still Cassette but now I'm in charge of the bar tab which followed into a certain someone leaving early so I wouldnt break my neck falling off stages or down stairs when I get back to the hostel... yes, that did happen. Wednesdays I've been missing so that I can make it to the gym one night. Thursdays are still the bar crawl where I only catch the last bar although I got this Thursday off so that I could do the bar crawl meaning I had to work Wednesday. I'm actually quite thankful for this to be honest for 3 reasons... The first is that Wednesday was pretty good. Work wasnt boring as there was a group of people who were pretty cool and would stop and chat at the bar whenever they bought a drink. We closed about midnight and it looked like they might want to stay drinking so I said if they waited for me to close up, I would go with them to Cassette. The music was better than usual (some beatles, oasis, cure and some old school songs thrown in) but I wasn't interested in the music. I had had my eye on one girl called Roisin and was out sharking. One by one the group left until it was only me and her left... I'll let you fill in the rest. Shes back on the
31st aswell :p
The 2nd is that I could go on my first Frenzi bar crawl. I'm always working when it's on and can see how much fun it is but can never do the whole thing. I'm not going to lie to you. I dont remember much at all except it was fun and I woke up with random messages off random numbers which made no sense at all!
The 3rd Reason was that It was the anniversary of Dave's passing so I knew I was going to be pretty depressed all day but because of Wednesday night I wasnt in such a bad mood, infact it was hard for me to be in a bad mood which I guess was a good thing. I had my usual 1 Guinness in memory of him. Marc and Raks came with me to O'Carrolls across the road from Cassette for it which was nice.
As I was saying before, going out here is becoming to be the same old same old but with a few different people each time. Its becoming stale. So me and the boys have come up with a genius idea... we're going to fly down to Wellington for a weekend! At the moment the head count is 9 but I have a feeling it may become so much more than that!

Winter is cold!

Its 3pm here and im off to watch the All Blacks vs South Africa in the Tri-Nations in a couple of hours. This is one of the biggest games in the sporting calendar and should be quite a game!
This past weeks been pretty much the same as every other week, just been working and going out during the week. Works pretty fun and I'll be sad to leave Fusion whenever I do. The teams starting to split up now as we all know the bars going to have a refurb in a few weeks so we are all looking for new jobs. Scottys going back to Scotland, Abbys applying for managers jobs somewhere else and preparing for her part in fashion week and unfortunately Sharon's going back to Holland :(
I had the interview at Global Sport but I turned the job down deciding it wasnt for me as it was comission based.
Daniela got back from Fiji and yesterday had a chat about what was going on between and decided it was best just cut it off (yeah i may have forgot to put in here that we had been seeing eachother).
The bar has mainly been the main gossip recently... we had our dj decks taken off us and closed down early last saturday as the music was aparantly too loud and then on thursday the council came in to have a meeting with red our manager and told him to sort it out pronto otherwise the bars getting closed for good!
So yeah thats about it really, im gonna go get ready now for the big game and know I will remember this one as im not allowed to drink before work!
