The End Of An Era

Today marked the end of my three week beard experiment.

The story goes - on May 31st I had a job inteview so I obviously shaved for this to look my best (good news is I got the job). I then had some time off from my current jobs to study for uni exams. In this time I decided not to shave and grew a beard. However, today I had to go back to work at Capt'n Snooze and thus needed to shave. I had to do this so that I would look presentable to customers when serving them, i.e. not look like a total bum. It has been 10 hours and I kind of miss it. I must admit that I look a lot better without it but it had grown on me (literally). It was such a bugger to shave too. Each time I did a stroke with my razor I could only go about an inch before it clogged up with all the hair and I had to clean it. This led to me being late to work which is not a good thing after being away for a few weeks. Anyhoo, here is a picture of me with the beard:

and now of me after having a shave:

Now on the topic of work.

I worked at Capt'n Snooze today and it was pretty hectic. As soon as I got there (which was late) I could see that there was a shitload of work to be done. I work in the warehouse, which was a complete mess. Mattresses were everywhere, bed frames all over the place and I had to find all the deliveries that had to go out that morning (12 deliveries today - a fuckload). It took a while but the drivers went on their way. My next task was to organise the enitire warehouse. I can see how much they need me because after only a couple of weeks the whole place had gone to hell. It took the better part of the day to get it the way I like and this was in between serving customers and writing up dockets (only one sale today - $477). A very long, but rewarding, day. Also, in my lunch break I did manage to come home and play a game of FIFA '98 so that was fun.

Finally, as Marko would say, END COMMUNICATION!
