so i had my trial today at nick's; sean will get back to me on 'monday or tuesday; probably tuesday', and i have the meantime to find out if all tafe courses are closed or if late enrolment is an option. and now i'm undecided as to whether or not i want it.
the travel (walk to hurstville station, train to bondi junction then bus to bondi beach, walk halfway up beach to pavilion) was daunting, and the unlikeliness as to having all sunday mornings off was a setback, but really: since when have i cared about distance or getting up early/going to bed late (i used to get up at 5.30 on schooldays. to get to kogarah), and this is an apprenticeship. in chef-ing. there was never much likelihood of getting good hours.
and everyone's so nice. yes, i was new (and i haven't seen any female chefs yet... so possibly they were just being nice to me because i'm a girl. and look 12 years old), and it was pretty quiet, and i only worked 4 and a bit hours (mostly peeling and dicing apples, but roy the pastry chef was grateful), but it was fun. i like it. and i think i want to go back.
but i'd probably have to do tafe, hence the finding out if courses are closed. technically i've only missed 2 days thus far (1 day a week), so it's possible. called tafe just now, but was put on hold, and i hate hold (plus a thunderstorm is starting here), so i'll call tomorrow. because if i'm offered the position (there are 4 more people being trialed, the last on sunday; sean will pick 2 or 3; callem (sp?) is already an apprentice, having been there just two weeks) i'm guessing sean will want a definite answer fairly immediately. he seems like that kind of guy. so i'll have to be ready. to say yes or no. or just get rejected.
anyway, i need a hair cut. my hair is getting too hard to tie in a bun (in which case it hurts my head a bit anyway) and a disaster waiting to happen when it's not. so i need ailee or kathy or shayna or someone with enough guts to cut my hair to do it. i don't trust hairdressers. the last (only) one didn't layer it properly.
also, my concession card runs out at the end of march, and i'm supposed to hand it back upon getting a full-time job anywho, so travel will cost even more. =P
yeah. plus organising sga day. *sigh*
