Evie talks Catering!

Alrighty then. I've literally got no time right now, but the thing is I won't have a whole lotta time for a couple of days so I'll just do a quickie blog now. Ha! Didn't it sound, just for a second, like I was talking about sex!? Get your mind out of the gutter Evie!
Anywho, this week has actually been a little hectic. Not super crazy, just stressful enough for me to get a cold and go on more than one emergency shopping trip during which I came close to tears. No big. Seriously, I'd forgotten how stressful work can be! Yup, that's right, Evie works. I do a bit of part time work for a catering company. Mostly coat check, you know the people who take your coat at the door and then lose during the course of the party so there's a big kerfuffle at the end of the night while they search frantically for it so they don't get fired? Yea, that's me. But sometimes I serve the hors d'oeuvres or walk around collecting empty glasses to bring back to the kitchen. You may be thinking it doesn't sound all that stressful, if so, you'd be thinking wrong. Try spending ten hours fielding drunken questions, standing around in shoes that don't fit because you couldn't find black flats the night before, while maintaining a cheerful and polite manner. The bright light at the end of the tunnel is the 70 dollar tip I get at the end of the night, on top of the 12 bucks an hour I get paid. Yay money! :D So I guess it's worth it in the end. Also the hilarious antics of the very rich but very drunk always provide some entertainment for the rest of us. Wow, okay. No more time.
I'll just answer the question of the week super fast. When I am feeling down my best methods for distracting myself are chick flicks (Notebook, Shakespeare in Love, Down with Love, the list goes on :P) or chick literature. Meg Cabot can lift even the darkest of moods.
Right-O! Till next week my friends!
Evie :)
