morning shift at the cafe.
when boss asked if i wanted a coffee that he made by mistake, i took the chance to tell him that i wouldn't be able to work any more when school starts in March. then i told him that i got a new job. i would rather work at his cafe because the environment is a lot nicer, but unfortunately cafe pays $5 less per hour than the factory --- but i couldn't tell him that.
then he said if i continue for 3 more weeks, that's "fine with him". bloody hell. 3 weeks notice for a casual job? i think 2 weeks is more than enough! but i couldn't tell him that either.
then the atmosphere was weird for a while.
and i burnt a croissant again. but lady boss didn't scold me. that's how awkward it was. haha.
then i had a crappy bubble tea from Utopia. then i checked out the events for the Fringe World Festival (wouldn't have known if i didn't talk to the backpacker guy yesterday).
so this Fringe Festival showcased a ton of local and international comedy, theater, cabaret, circus, music, film, etc., acts over 1 month.
and they set up venues around the CBD where the performance venues are clustered around food and drink stalls, with festive lighting. including a giant disco ball! (there's a guy sitting on the steps for size reference.)
tonight i watched a "comedy" "theater" mash-up of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet, done by the American trio called Sound & Fury.
i only have a picture of the venue - a tent called Pink Flamingo. a review of the show can be found here.
although i sat in front of a pole, i was also in the front row. it's an intimate space, 60 people, and we can hear the circus music from the neighbouring tents, but it was great fun because the guys kept referencing things they picked up from interacting with us, like forgetting lines because of trying to pole dancing, and ad-libbing about the audience member who rather watch cricket.
it's best described as "mad-cap" and chaotic and bawdy. and the ginger guy was quite attractive as Juliet. :)
then on the way home i talked to this guy from Cyprus. it's near Greece and is a nice place for tourists! and skilled workers get about $40 an hour here.
