It’s been a long week that, judging by today’s sleep marathon, has really taken it out on me. I’ve worked long hours at the cafe and in addition to it agreed to take on projects outside from that, such as setting up a WordPress blog from one of the regular customers there.
Friday night was one of the very long nights, a colleague, his friend and me stayed there until 4am, drinking, had the world’s slowest cabdriver ever and when I finally got home at 5am I just had two hours time to sleep until I had to leave for work again. I think I had about 18h sleep from Monday morning until Saturday evening.
Of course I’m not complaining, really, I’m not. This is probably the easiest job for the most amount of money I’ve ever had and I will definitely be looking to do it for a little while longer simply because I have practically no expenses and the job is actually kinda fun! Plus it allows me to buy new tops, many of them!
Last night was an event in town I had been planning to go to with a friend and even though I wasn’t convinced it would be a good evening, I still was surprised on how much worse than my expectations it was. The even was meant to be a large open air venetian style masked ball with orchestra, acrobats, gondolas and what not. The orchestra wasn’t all that bad, admittedly, but even though the weather was brilliant and the event had been advertised for months everywhere there really weren’t all that many people around.
I guess it shows how memorable the evening was when the highlights involved the self serving till at the supermarkets and finally being back home and able to sleep!

Aw, I’m sorry you didn’t have a better time – although I find that when I’m tired, it’s really hard to enjoy other people in any way.
Pretty pictures, anyway!
Yeah, but I wasn’t really tired at the time.
I think it was actually a good evening, just that I expected more.
