You never miss what you've got until it's gone
So, as everyone who reads this blog knows, I've started a new job and therefore I will only be working at Taps on the weekends. (Although in fact I am not working this weekend as I'm off to Kent for a few days).
Now, the perks of having a new job are obviously the fact that I get paid considerably more than I do at the pub and that I get to sit down all day......no running around, no lifting heavy boxes and no long winded conversations with irritating customers.
I thought that I would really appreciate these new perks for a substantial amount of time before the drain of a 9-5 began to drag me down. Turns out that I'm on day 6 of my new job and I already think the perks of a pub job are much better.
For instance the things are miss most are;
- Being able to get up at 10am if I’m working the dayshift.......or 5pm if I’m working the evening! (I really do like my sleep and I’m like a walking zombie now)
- Being able to get drunk on a Tuesday for no reason (I give Tuesday as an example, but I thoroughly enjoy randomly get drunk when everyone else cant but now I'm one of them people who I use to laugh at.....that’s not cool)
- Having interesting conversations (So far all the office talk revolves around work......which isn’t interesting......or peoples children and I don't know anyone well enough yet to care about there children. I can categorically say that there will be no conversations about whether wanker is more offensive than twat for instance)
- Being able to wear comfy clothes (I don't think they would appreciate my bleach stained combats here)
- Thursday nights (enough said)
- Having to be nice all the time......I am a nice person but I hate it when I have to be nice, I'd quite like to just be nice because I want to be.
I know that all of this will probably change and gradually I will begin to appreciate my new job but as it stands I MISS TAPS, I MISS THE BAR and I MISS MY TAPS FAMILY! (Don't worry I'm not actually crying or anything......just reminiscing).
That is all...
