Looting & Frappucinos.
The last four days I have been working and lacking inspiration. Today I was also working but today was a bit more inspiring as it was looting time at the convention center. Apparently they produced too much bribes to the foreign dignitaries so they let the staff have the leftovers. I can clearly understand why the foreign visitors did NOT accept the bribes. After all if you travel accross the globe to attend four days of meetings; you would for sure expect better bribes than cabin bags (which you most likely have brought anyway for your travels) If you get two cabin bags for working two four hour shifts however, you are pretty happy with your bribe.
Why I was working two four hour shifts with serving food at the convention center today and yesterday I will never understand. Efficiency and organisation is not Australian strengths and apparently it does not take 200 persons 7 hours to serve lunch to 2000 people; especially not when the menu is set. Since the minimum work hours is 4 hours per shift we worked for like 20 minutes and stood around for 3.5 hours doing nothing. Since free lunch was also included in the shift I can't really complain; although standing around 6.5 hours would definitely be preferable.
For all the fashion interested readers of this blog (I mean seriously with all my great insights into the world of fashion; Interest in fashion would be the main reason anyone reads this blog) I can tell you that the staff uniform shirt of the Sydney Convention Center is extremely ugly. It's supposedly unisex which means it looks like a mix of a male shirt and female nightgown. The result is appalingly ugly on both men and women, furthermore the entire feeling of the garment is that it's something they have fished out of a mould infested basement.Finally I can't really imagine any bodytype this "shirt" would look good one.
While we are on the topic of fashion the blue and white striped staff shirt of Randwick Race course looks good on 28 year old Swedish man, but not as good on 19 year old Swedish woman; to whom it's not a good idea sending a text mentioning something about her looking a lot better on her Facebook picture than she does at work. Why she is actually looking a lot better on the pictures than at work I don't know but here is three viable explantions:
- She is wearing make up and femine clothing on her Facebook pice. She is wearing a ponytail, limited makeup and a male shirt at work
- I am more attracted to really young girls on pictures than I am in real life
- On the pics I can't read any body language and thus it's likely she wants to enjoy my company. In reality there is nothing in her body language that indicates at strong desire to get to know me on a deeper personal level. (Although she mentioned that if I actually won the $60 million Powerball I would be a lot more attractive)
Since I had three hours to kill until my next shift and realizing that the probability of me winning the powerball jackpot is 18 in 72 million (1 game is 1 in 72 million, I bought 18 games) I decided to make an altruistic effort to matchmake the 19 year old Swedish woman and a 19 year old German Colleague. Although lifting an impressive lists of similiarities including:
- They both claimed to be heterosexual
- They were both born in 1993
- They are both blonde and had blue eyes
- They both managed to get tired from not working for four hours.
The sparks were simply not there (Although I must say it's much more likely that those two are having sex while I am writing this, than that I actually win the Powerball jackpot on Thursday night; indeed a depressing thought)
Apart from that I learnt a lot today.:)
- It's actually possible to sell $7 Milkshakes provided that one name the venue Starbucks and you instead of using the term Milkshake brand your product Frappucino.
- There is something in the world less interesting than fashion (Fashion blogs written by teenage girls)
- The concept of a successful blog can be summarised: Writing about fashion; telling people what you have eaten today; post a picture of yourself in the garment you wrote about.
Since I have already written about fashion. Let's talk about what I ate today:
- Breakfast: A subway chicken sandwich with a latte
- Lunch: The included staff lunch buffet at the convention center containing chicken ham, cheese, salad and potatoes.
- Afternoon: A very large strawberry Frappucino and a very large latte
- Evening: Two McDouble, a small fries and coke
- Night: Arnott shapes and coke
With two out three crossed off from the successful blog post list all we need is a recent picture showing the fashion I wrote about. To everyones great joy I actually did take a picture of myself today..;)
As you can see the staff shirt of the convention center is really ugly. you can also see one of the cabin bags I looted.
With all the necessary adaptions to a successful blog anything but a thousandfold increase in my reading stats would be a fail, so let's hope for a success shall we? ;)
