Here I am, writing a new blog, along time after my previous one (you might want to read it, it's about my thoughts on the Dutch National Team).
As I work in a canteen/bar of a campside (which is opposite my house, luckily. My work's only a 150 feet away ;) ), I find myself loads of time, as there aren't many people around atm. The campside can hold 1500 guests at a time (either in caravans, chalets or tents) at it's top. This top, however, will be reached in 2 or 3 weeks from now. Today, probably noly a few hundred will be around, I'm afraid... Still I have to work from 1.30 pm till 0.30 am, each and every day. Of this 11 hours (which it is, calculated and all), I'm quite busy for only 20%... The other 80% is boring as h*ll! Luckily, in 2 (or 3) weeks from now, these percentages will be changed around: 80% work, 20% "rest". Much better, if you ask me.
By the way, for the people who have no idea what I'm talking about, a little info:
From the beginning of March upto and including the first week of October, I'm the manager of this canteen/bar I mentioned above. March-June is weekends only, July and August on daily basis and September-October are weekends again.
What I have to do, basically, is being around every day we're open (the 7/8 weeks in Summer, I got one day off each week), fry chips and snacks, do some bar-work and lead the 5 girls I've got under my 'command'.
As you might know, horeca-times aren't the best to work in: most of the time, yóu work while others have the fun (of your work).
This ain't the worst part for me though... I find myself in the very lucky place to have a lovely girlfriend that I love very, very much. Problem is, that I cannot see her the next 7 weeks, because of my work (and her's). And this sickens me!
She's working in a supermarket on one of the five islands Holland has in the north and I live in Drenthe, which is a bit further away then you can go by bike -I've got no driving license- and we've got no chance to see each other till the end of August... Boy, how I miss her so much already! Imagine how it will be after 5 weeks!
Me and my girl :)
As I find myself rather sad now, I conclude this blog. A next blog might be following up soon.... Who knows?
Cheers
