Moved into the new hostel today. The bathrooms and kitchen are a bit grottier than Nomads, but I'm still very happy to be out of there! I'm in an all-girls dorm, and am sharing with Flo, a bar maid at P.J.'s and Stacey, who is working for accommodation as well, and has just quit her job at Novatel because she was only getting 6 hours a week. Bex came to have a chat with Stacey (the manager) about what she will be doing. She will be hosting the entertainment, s...

There was a message over the intercom for me to come to reception, and it was so that Erin and Paul could ask me about Saturday night (the fact that we were drinking beforehand). They told me I had to leave by tomorrow morning, but Paul said it was a shame because he knew I was a good worker. My $50 deposit won't be returned as Erin claims the carpet is ruined because of spilt goon. Not too bothered as I rang Reef (the place I was going to move in anyway) and i...

Erin found quite a few people's alcohol in their rooms (including my box of wine) and so I was scared of being chucked out like Alice, but luckily apparently we're just going to get given a warning, because otherwise the hostel would have no staff.

Management here are very weird- it seems like the stricter you are the more they want you, and it doesn't seem like they want to satisfy the gu...

Penny had told me about how hard Paul (the manager) was to please, but this morning was the first time I got to experience it. It was really busy towards the end of my shift, and so I started using the bigger plates, as I wasn't putting the usual breakfast plates in the dishwasher in time, and when it got to 9, Paul told me to stop serving the toast, despite the fact that there was only one bloke to serve left (one of Eddie's coworkers), and so I didn't mind se...

At work today I accidently let a customer pay off someone else's bill so that they got their meal for about $18 cheaper than it was supposed to. I'm not sure whether it was my fault but for some reason a table got their food made twice. I had a mystery shopper, and if I did everything I was supposed to, and the kitchen cooked their food right, I get $100 transferred into my bank account. I don't find out for another few days but it has made me question whether ...
