give what you want in return

so what happened to that piece of advice?

as you know i work at a restaurant in the evenings after my day job. the restaurant is a little disorganised at times and there is nothing worse when the food comes out at random times on the same table. the chef struggles on her own, it gets done but she struggles. i decided to help her and i don't really cook but i jumped in anyway. i am a fast learner so it was ok. however if i accidentally did a minor thing wrong or couldn't find something, boy would i cop it! how am i to know where all her utensils are kept and where all the ingredients are? i didn't have to help out....she would truly take all her frustrations out on me whilst i was helping her...after the kitchen closed she said she really appreciated the help and said i did an amazing job. so why get angry? what is the point? it made it harder for herself and hard for me. i worked the split shifts over the long weekend with her(daynightdaynighdaynight) so today i am completely drained - not from the hours but from her. i feel so low in energy at the moment. when someone asks me to do something i immediately feel like they are annoyed or angry at me although they aren't, i am just ripped raw. so i am feeling quiet irritated and easily annoyed. it is strange how someone can make you feel like this. i was imagining if i was working with someone cool it would be so much easier and i would not mind working as many hours as required..
anyway i have a break tonight from the restaurant and back to it tomorrow night after work!
so wed to Fri (day and night work) sat and sun (night work).
i wonder if i can hack it with the chef. i don't have to help out

so i don't understand where the quote came from - i gave 15hours of help in the kitchen and get a 30 second thanks.

one.more.month.
i will sleep well on the plane!

*sigh*

do people actually grow up?

it's become apparent to me that maybe the majority of people don't grow up - in a mentally mature aspect..

i have been confronted with some pretty bad behaviour. i never really understood the reason why people get so shitty for no reason. examples:

1. someone yelled, yes yelled, at me for not putting a call through correctly when i was a newy at a job. this same person liked to throw things on my desk (for me to put away) without telling me to actually put them away. she would also be delightfully nice sometimes...? (we called it short women's syndrome)

2. during my cafe days, if we had run out of something (i.e. a muffin) on the odd occasion or if something didn't go as they'd expect - they would get really, really shitty! (you look ridiculous)

3. i was walking through a car park today and someone was reversing, a man was standing, where the car was reversing and the man stomped backwards and shook his head. (hey, there is a footpath....!)

4. this one is funny, a man accidentally walked into a glass window while my friend and i where sitting in gloria jeans cafe, my friend gestured/mimed 'are you ok?' and he stuck up his finger at her! (nope, not ok!)

5. mum told me the bus driver wouldn't stop for about 5 stops because someone accidentally pressed the stop button at the wrong stop.. (yeah, ok, i would be annoyed if i didn't study either!)

etc.

i spoke to one of my friends about these sort of incidences, she believes people don't actually grow up.

what happened?

we all have issues/problems to deal with but really, showing this in public ?? isn't cool.

i don't know. i can only do my part and kill them with my kindness :)

Good day My Dearest Friend (I am not your friend), How are you doing today(Was great until I got your email), Hope you have not forgotten me? (Yes I must have somehow forgot you!)I am Dr/Mr.(make up your mind) Rick Mora, the man from Nigeria (Your name doesn't sound Nirgerian) who contacted you some time ago to assist me secure the release of some money accrued from the over invoicing of a contract/inheritance funds that was awarded by my Government some time ago during the Military regime (why don't you contact the government?).

I am so sick of these emails!!

america here i come!

the camp had already decided i was on board as soon as i spoke to the owner, it was already assumed. Yay! i actually will be teaching kids film/TV production. one of my friends that i studied with is also on the same camp teaching the same, will be good to collaborate.

i just spent a couple of hours searching for the best deals for flights. i am so brain dead but i need to be organised! check it out:

see why can't someone just hire me to be a production assistant to a great production house??

he he. watch out, America - here i come!!!

camp america

so one of the camps actually called me and explained what a day is like in the camp. what i will be doing is teaching the kids about filming! which will be great. it goes from june-aug 09. i think it will be fun to be able to teach kids. a little nerve wrecking buuut it's an experience :) i am looking forward to it. one of my friends is going to another camp so will probably meet up with him to hang out in nyc. yay!

new york state of mind

i just got off the phone from a company in nyc. it is a music licensing company and they offered me an internship which is great =) of course i have more interviews to come and take a pick out of them but all seems well at this stage and the guy who interviewed me was from perth! nice to have someone understand how hard it is to start out there.

nyc would be awsome to start out. i have been there previously and it makes me feel like a piece of dust in a giants eye. in a good way of course. so much to see and do. perth in comparison is like a vegemite sandwich and nyc is like 'the lot' pizza. amazing.. i do miss it. so august is looking up. (i still love you perth!)

all last week i have been working 9am-9pm at a restaraunt to save for rent in usa - gotta make it happen! this week i feel like i cant move. however i do love eating on the job =) (last week they where throwing out gelato, i was the trash can for that.. hehe)

things on the casting side have been a little slow however at least things are looking up for my 'journey' to usa.

thou shall not delete

So it has been a day since I have created my little blog and I have made a commandment for myself that I shall not read my own blog so I do not delete it!

Anyway I have completed my first casting project for a 10 minute short film! i am happy with the actors they have chosen and i believe it will be a great film. it is filming this week.

because things are quiet slow at the moment with the economy and businesses, i have decided to take on a new adventure to do a camp in America and teach film making! i am not sure which camp i have been accepted onto yet but have received a few emails from my application! my business will continue here while i am in the USA. from the camp i am going to LA again to embark on my journey! so i can say move over people little Perth girl coming through. eek... of and faith:complete confidence in a person or plan. :o)

take me as i am blogger

hello

i don't really blog although i have tried and cringed and deleted.
