What a day today. Day two of no dish washer. Yesterday my dish was covering the night shift and today was his day off. So that made things alot of fun, running around looking after the buffet, making omelettes and waffles and washing dishes inbetween. Was running behind in my prep for change over so I worked until 1:30pm today...a good 11.5 hour shift. Needless to say I am feeling tired today. We were down a server today as well, she had some sort of reaction and her face has swollen up and can barely open eyes. She was taken by boat to the Massett hospital and is staying over night apparently according to her sister. For the third night in a row the same group of guys were in the bar to the bitter end, the bar tender made his last drop off of glasses at 3:30am...chances are they'll be there again tonight for one last go.
I may go in for 1am tonight and try and bang things out earlier...I am feeling paranoid about the change over.
I still have to do two platters of smoked salmon, a cheese platter and poach a million eggs. Hopefully my chef will have a chance to finish up my quiches tonight. I have blind baked my pastry shells and prepped my royale mixture, 1 yolk per 100mls of heavy cream. So all he has to do is prep some filling like ham and cheese or spinach and shallots and pop them in a low oven. Fingers crossed its all good when I go in tomorrow morning. New cook arrives tomorrow, fingers crossed they are capable and don't quit within the first week. I would like a day off afterall.
Thanks to working late I missed lunch....so I had some toast..mm toast. Feet are sore today, my insoles didnt last two weeks here, hoping my sister can send some up for me via the QCL head office in Richmond. Part of me wants to tackle a deer on the lawn...we should kill Bambi and serve it to the guests :)
Oh and I live in frog central, all day and night all I hear are frogs croaking. Sometimes they crank it right up...perhaps a frog orgy? I've no idea.
I'm currently listening to the new foo fighters album..stoked to see them in October..always put on a good live show. Yes I realize reading this is challenging, I ramble as I blog...I tend to forget my point and put in features as I think of them.
MY living situation constantly stinks of poop outside, the pump for our plumbing is broken so whenever someone fushes it pours out the top instead of pumping itself to the septic tank...lucky me.
OH! It's light out here until almost 11pm..wtf! I only know this because I woke up around 10:30ish due to noise outside. So gets dark around 11 and sun comes up around 4ish...woo.Been watching episodes of East Bound and Down season 1 on my lappy...forgot I downloaded it..lol funny.
err My mind has begun to fail me...I'll update again tomorrow
pics are of my other half of my mansion, the tv room, the shit pump and the boat dock
