Well as many of you DON'T know, I worked at Big Day Out yesterday. I would like to call it something that was not extremely pleasing. First of all, WALKING to the entrance, was attacked by many bogan white guys. It's quite ridiculous. Have that not seen an Asian before? Even worse, have they not seen an Asian who was born in Australia?! Is is so hard to distinguish between us? Hehe. But yea, got to the entrance for staff and was like,
hmmm gate 4, closed.... f*ck?' but no, it was not closed, it was just in some tiny corner where it was covered by bushes. Smart place. Well, signed in, and was told to sit down, with like 100 billion other people. I looked like a total douche, it was like 30+ degrees and I had to wear all black, not only that, I was wearing long pants while everyone was wearing shorts. Smart move Matt. Anyway, sitting down, everyone in their little groups, me in my three man group :) me, myself and I and all of a sudden, some car alarm went off in the hall and was going on for a good 20mins. I could have shot it to turn it off lol, but as Australians, we just closed a blind eye and pretended it wasn't going off. When we were called, the man said, "alright, all those people who have been here since 10.30 please stand over there". HOLY F*CKING SH*T! PEOPLE HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 10.30! That is crazy, I just got there, and the air wasn't exactly cool. But long story short, I tried to make get a shift because I was NOT going to wait :P
So we had to walk to the OTHER side of the showgrounds. Great move. It took about 10 mins to walk through drunk people without shirts. I mean, I like to see topless people but not from men LOL! But yes, got to my place, and I was just looking at the crowds. My eyes were like O_O because there were just so many bogans wanting alcohol LOL! I can tell you right now, those supervisors were pretty shit. They just went to me, "ok you work here" then they walk off. I mean wtf man. Yes I'm a stocker, but what do I do? That's like -17 poimts for Big Day Out. Anyway, finally figured what to do, which was to just stock drinks and ice. It was all good until the next shift people came in. "WHY" I ask myself! EVERYTIME I WORK WITH A RECRUITMENT AGENCY THERE IS ALWAYS ONE DUMB F*CK WHO DOES SH*T ALL WORK! Ok this one was REALLY weird. She was a brunette chick who was tall, but I think her hands were cripple or some sh*t because she would walk around with her hands like a cripple! Also, she kept chucking ice in tubs that already had too much ice in. Also, when she was putting drinks in, she did it HELL slow! Alright, new, I'll give her a chance, but WTF! At the end of the night, she was taking like 3x as long to open the smirnoff 6 pack. And also, she would put in the TEDs ONE BY ONE! She also had some dumb look on her face and would walk around as if she had all the time in the world! This is while everyone is running everywhere trying to get stuff. Oh, also, at the end of the night, she would try to chat with all the guys! Everyone is using both hands, she uses like one finger! We were meant to shut at 10.30 but because of that stupid girl, we shut later because she kept getting boxes of alcohol fillling up! *sigh* That's enough about her.
So working right, you would expect to hear some good music. You are wrong, I heard like 3 bands playing at once and it was just one big jumble to the ears. There were 3 bands that stood out. One was Pendulum, Living End and Arctic Monkeys. But we were working too hard to look at them on the big screen =\ Oh funny thing is, while working, I still managed to see a few people :P I first saw some guys from my high school :P and then I saw Michelle and Andrew :D Funny seeing them, because I hadn't seen them for such a long time. There were these stupid girls who were asking if they could have a chip from every person who walked along there.
Anyway, my break was lonesome again, and walking back was approached by many people asking about first aid. I don't know where the first aid is, I think people are going to get screwed for not telling staff where first aid was. Walking back from my break, some bogan chick goes to me "where are you going in such a hurry?" I got freaked man. She looked like one of those crazy witches LOL! Some other dude approached me asking where first aid is because his friend was dying or some sh*t like that. I directed him to one of those people wearing fluro shirts.
Throughout the day, I saw more than 4 people try to steal alcohol! I'm just thinking, you guys are hell idiots. They would jump the fence, go in the freezer and fully chuck it over the fence and jump over again. There were shit loads of people trying to steal alcohol at the end of the night. The last one I saw, my supervisor was there too, and he full pushed the guy into the fence. LOL! Hell funny I reckon, I was actually laughing. Well it was time for me to leave but I wanted to make sure that there was no more trouble, so I waited 1 hour to get picked up.
That was my day :)
I think
adios amigos
There is something new :) One day and there's barely any space left! It's what happens when music plays a major part in your life ;)
