Pimpin'

I feel like I should pimp my blog. For realsies. I have no pictures, no art, no nothing. Should I make this more entertaining for you readers? All two of you? Maybe.

Was at work last night, and I had a booking of people from Deutsche Bank. Now, I like bankers as much as anyone (so, not at all) but they are good tippers. So of course I was planning on being on my BEST behaviour. But my boss, Adam, thought I needed some extra tips. My boss gave me such good advice, I thought I'd share it with you all. Here is how our conversation went:

A: "Kathryn, you have booking tonight."
Me: "Great."
A: "They are very important people. You treat them well. Don't screw this up."
Me: "Adam, its not my first day. She'll be right."
A: "Yeah it better be. Cos if you screw this up, I loose my job. And you die."
Me: "Adam, is that a death threat?"
A: "No no, a bit. Just be friendly."
Me: "I'm always friendly!"
A: "No, I mean, be friendly, but not too friendly. Keep your dignity."
Me: "Adam, what are you trying to say here?"
A: "Be friendly. If you screw this up, then you'll never see Australia again.
Me: "What???"
A: "Yeah. You never see Australia again. Maybe I show you on a map, but you never see the country in life again. NOt your family, not your friends, not the kangaroos. Nothing. You get me?"
By this point, I'm laughing too hard to reply.

The booking went fine though. They gave me an 80 pound tip, and some half bottles of wine which my friend and I drank at the end of work. Awesome!

Spent today studying. I'm getting that pale, drawn look that people get when they spend too much time in the library. It might be better than my pale, drawn look that I get when I have last minute exam worries, but I'm not sure yet. I'm sick on sitting in a room full of silent people, all trying to out do each other with how smart they look. I'm not cut out for this I tell you!
