Freak or Unique?

Hi
im I've just realised something thats a little scary.
In 3 weeks i'll be a student!!
shit!
thats weird eh?
im movin all my stuff to the deen on sunday then its work work work, makin sure the flat is spick and span then movin to Ian's for a few days to see out the end of the festival.

So i've just finished my first weekend of festival and it was MENTAL MENTAL CHICKEN ORIENTAL!
Friday was ace. I woke up early and started the day with a red bull, I was walking to work in the sunshine, I was in a very good mood, I was listening to Lucky man by the Verve and I realised I am a lucky man. I'm about to move back to the deen, got my flat sorted. got a decent part time job sorted and im gettin to go and play with cameras and stuff for the next 2 years. Thats pretty cool.
As I walked to work, I was enjoying the fact it was sunny as this meant lots of women were walking around not wearing much, I was in a very good mood. A sudden sense of apprehension washed over me. Usually when I am in a good mood, something shit happens to ruin it. Just so the universe is in balance. When I am in a good mood you can bet something bad is gonna happen soon. But my good mood eventually over powered the negativity, I finished my Red bull and thought to myself.
"Fuck it. it s a beautiful day, lets go get thru the weekend and move your stuff out. Nothing is gonna piss you off today! In the immortal words of 5
bring it, bring it on, bring it on, bring it on YEAH!!!"

I got to work and was surprised to find it quiet. The whole lunch service was slow. I was running the upstairs section and I'm fairly certain this was designated the "freak or unique" section. All the customers were a bit odd. There was the Incredibly squint Man, he looked like a doodle. honestly he looked like a squiggly line. and he was odd. He demanded to move table because he said that everyone around him was being too loud and he couldn't hear himself think. Everyone around him heard this and promptly shut up but he still moved table.
Then there was the incredibly fat man! This guy was huge. he was so big that he ripped his trousers and I don't think he noticed. by his right pocket there was a big rip and his fat leg was bulging out. He was The Incredible BULK!!
Then there was the woman with the moustache! She said she wanted a peroni and i pointed out we only have spanish beers and then she tried to argue with me that she was already drinking peroni!! She was very strange. The two other women at her table seemed scared of her, possibly because of the moustache. I asked them if they would like another drink and they looked at her with a nervous look and she just shook her head. I think the other two women were possibly the moustached womens prison bitches or something!
After a while it became apparent lunch wasn't gonna be a busy one so we usually close the upstairs in order to set up for dinner. when the last table was paying there bill a new one appeared. apparently the didn't like the table they had down stairs and demanded to sit upstairs. so I had to stay up there and serve them on my own. I was quite annoyed as this was INCREDIBLY DULL!!
I wrote this poem to amuse myself.

Workin upstairs, and we're nearly done.
Lunch wasn't busy, but we had some fun.
I was saying goodbye to the people, and the banter was flowin.
Then a table appeared, just as everyone was goin.
They went to sit down, I thought there was a mistake
we're done up here, and I'm going for my break.
I hear the stairs rattle, and I turn to see,
is this someone coming, to relieve me?
sadly it's not!
im stuck with this lot!
And I'll be here till at least half past 3!



Saturday was more of the same, slow for lunch and then mental for dinner!
only got 3 saturdays left then I'm back to the Deen!
Also I have recently learned that most people I work with are reading all this shite!
ummmm hi, hope you enjoy. If your reading this at the front desk you better stop. remember Big T is watching! So go back to your section!!

stubble seems like a good compromise between it staying and going...
