You'll be my summerboy

Been sat here, staring at this blank space for an hour thinking of what to write and I couldn't think of anything poignant. It's really hot today and I'm dreading going to work later in this heat. It's bad enough in the winter in my black shirt and trousers with the heating on, rushing around serving food, drinks and taking orders. Although I often complain about my job and having to work, it's not actually that bad. I don't really mind it there; the pay is good especially with tips and my colleagues are always friendly and helpful unless it's really busy and everyone gets stressed. This is undoubtedly going to happen tonight as temperature is something that causes workplace stress, great. (Kudos to me for incorporating some aspect of psychology in this blog - just about the only revision I've done this holiday - if that counts.) Wouldn't it be nice to receive a text right now to say they don't need me tonight? Then, I could sit and relax outside with a nice, cold lager which, let's face it, is every mans idea of summer bliss. But, instead I shall be serving everyone else cold alcoholic beverages and making sure they have a nice evening at The Olive Tree.
Oh well, it's Easter tomorrow and I'm going to my Nan's house, something to look forward to I think. There's nothing quite like a nice family gathering really - the same old niceties that everyone shows towards each other and the casual digs that never quite go unnoticed. I don't know why but my family seems to love making little comments about each other all the time and creating sort of an awkward atmosphere and then my mum will crack out the good old gay jokes - way to kill a conversation mum. I think she thinks that I find them really funny but they aren't to be honest, you feel obliged to do that fake laugh to show everyone you weren't offended but it's actually pretty hurtful - I've never heard any straight jokes yet, about my sister and a guy. I guess they're just not that entertaining to our society, it's only good to make fun out of minority groups. Got to love Britain - the country of racist, sexist and homophobic jokes.
