I’ve been working at Antibo for over a month now. I’ve been there pretty much every friday and saturday, and a couple of weeks ago I did 10 days straight (ended up having one day off in a two week period). It’s actually quite fun there when there is stuff going on, but during the week it got pretty boring at times as there’s only so much cleaning a barman can take…
The people who I work with are all great fun, there is a lot of variety and most of them are pretty chatty which is cool. The management are OK for the most part, although they do tend to annoy everyone quite a lot by telling us what to do when we’re already doing it, or telling us off for something we haven’t done/couldn’t avoid/already knew.
I guess there are three major downsides to the job, which are the pay, the hours, and the stress (mostly a result of the management). The pay I can deal with, the stress is really minimal, but the hours really suck the life out of me and unfortunately I’m not going to be able to continue during term because of them.
I had intended on telling them today that I was stopping, but I had to go home early because my back has starting hurting rather badly (for no particular reason…), which means I’ll have to break the news tomorrow, and since the rota is made on fridays I will already be down to do some days next week. I think I will probably agree to do them, thus giving them 1 weeks notice. Not that I have to give them any notice, as I didn’t sign any work contract with them…
