Lights, camera, action!

Of course if anyone is insane in enough to go into the restaurant business they won't be reading this.

They will be working as its 7 days a week 24 hours a day. 

A non-stop bun fight of mayhem, stress and drama. 

But goodness me it's addictive. 

Being out on that floor on a busy day is like a performance. It is.  No matter how you feel, you park it, put on your slap, brush your hair, get your shirt tucked in, take a deep breath and out you go.

And the hours whizz by. When I say whizz I mean they just ZAP by.

One minute you're being briefed about  the specials of the day and the next you're waving off your last customer only to realise you haven't eaten or drunk a thing since the doors opened. You have literally been rushed off your feet and not had a minute to think.

Aye its not one for the faint hearted. 

But what a buzz.

Adrenalin coursing through the veins - just like a performance you can't just sit down and doze. You need to wind down, to calm down, to settle. It takes a while, sometimes a long while. A drink helps. But you don't want to do that all the time, that's where the trouble starts so you sit up late, talking , watching TV and eventually falling into bed. 

Head hits the pillow. 

Out like a light.

Bang.

Another day another dollar.
