This Week at Work
















This last week seems to have gone on forever, as at the moment I´m having ´turno partido´ (or split shifts) at work. I get to work at 11am (which means leaving at 09:50) then work unto 3pm. Then I get the next four hours off until 7pm, when I work until 10. If I manage to catch the bus home at 10:20 from the next town, I can be back for 11, but otherwise I´ll get there an hour later. This week, as we have a waitress away on holiday and a full hotel, I don´t get a day off so it will be like this until some time next week. I´m actually lucky, as the cook has been working ever day for the last month due to similar problems. Sometime next week I´ll get a couple of days off in one week, which I haven´t had since the end of August when I started the job. I must say though, one of the great things here is that the beach is right outside, so I can go for a swim in the afternoon between shifts. I´m also getting on well with my colleagues and most of the guests, which really helps.
