May's weather isn't that nice as April's was. It's colder, windier and cloudier. My mood is adapting to the weather. Not good at all. Got problems with job, with everyday life. Can not really enjoy myself, relax or just find something which makes me feel free.
After all, good things happened. I won a 40 inch LCD TV with Frijj. It worth like £500-600. Good thing in a good thing is that I found a company which will transport it to Hungary (door 2 door) for only £32 ! So I can send it to my parents and this will be a huuuge surprise. The truck supposed to pick up the TV this sunday. I'm a bit scared if I really can trust them but I take the risk.
Another good thing is that my landlord was so kind that he agreed to pay me £300 for taking care of the garden. And this money just saved us from going minus with our budget. We actually still need a lawnmower because the new grass is growing and I don't want to spend £50 to buy one.
3rd good thing is that I can make extra money in the restaurant from sales incentives. That means if we waiters reach a sales target or sell certain amount of this and that, than we get extra tip with our salary. This helps me also a lot with the daily survival, but somehow still just barely enough. The other side of the thing is the unfairness of it. All the other workers will get less if I (we) make more :[
We need at least £50 for a week and that is only for food. With one salary only it's not easy... according to the monthly expenses which are unavoidable (rent, bills, etc).
So the thing is that my mind can't stop worrying how to make enough money or what to do to live a better life. I also have problem in the job because I reached the point when I hate to go there and work with some people (animals) who show absolutely no respect. Indeed they like to behave as a giant jerk and they even do it in front of everybody else.
I had an interesting issue last week. On Thursday I had some guests having a long afternoon lunch. They didn't speak good english and the man made a big mistake when he payed the bill. He gave me £110 instead of £46. I showed him that the banknotes are 2x50 and 1x10. I told him that's too much, so I took only one 50 note. He looked confused and relieved at the same time. Later when they left and I cleaned the table, I found a giftbag they forgot to take. I checked what is inside: chocolate, candy, tea and some tiny presents like pencils and shit. The whole thing worth maybe £20. It was around 6pm. I told the res girl that I will keep the bag on the waiter station, so if the guy comes back they can find it there. I didn't want to leave it on the reception because Thursday evening is very busy, the res girl is alone and not always there. Who knows what drunken person will just grab it and take it? Anyway, we finished and closed the restaurant around 12:30. I totally forgot about the bag and before I left I just noticed it sitting on the place I left on the station. So I thought this people were probably tourist and they did not bother to come back for it. I put the bag in my locker and thought if they don't pick it up tomorrow before I finish, I will take it with me and I will eat the sweets....
.... to be continued.
