  <WSC#DPC091:0070:AL>
      mhm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC091:0075:BJ>
      but we all got to try a can and so they had people and like <.>w</.>
      <.>w</.> we had to <.>st</.> to stand behind bars <O>tut</O> and
      the first part of it they had like women <.>in</.> in these like
      white jumpsuits with <&>1:00</&> little caps on with crew
      written on them and they were all like you know very <.>lovely</.>
      <,> lovely women you know with lovely nails and they were very
      manicured <O>tut</O> and they took <?><.>aroun</.> <.>s</.></?>
      stood around with these trays of beer just d b draught

  <WSC#DPC091:0080:AL>
      mhm

  <WSC#DPC091:0085:BJ>
      because <.>the</.> the beer that's coming out <.>is</.> is um
      <O>tut</O> oh i can't tell you what <{1><[1>it is but</[1> never
      mind

  <WSC#DPC091:0090:BJ>
      <.>it's</.> it's well i'll tell you what you what it's not a
      LAGER anyway but <.>they</.> they're wanting to sort of like <O>tut</O>
      um <O>tut</O> put something else on the market

  <WSC#DPC091:0095:BJ>
      i mean cos they've got their export <.>dr</.> their draught and
      their export dry and their export and they just wanted something
      else to fill in the field cos people want more variety they've
      gathered <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0100:BJ>
      no more just you know the normal stuff these days

  <WSC#DPC091:0105:BJ>
      they want variety <O>tut</O> um <O>tut</O> and these women were
      complaining <.>blit</.> bitterly about how heavy these trays
      were and we lifted one up and they're nothing in comparison to
      what we're used to carrying and so that went on and they had
      this HUGE sort of um <O>tut</O> wall completely covered um with
      black <&>2:00</&> curtains and stuff and they had like <.>a</.>
      <.>a</.> <O>tut</O> a promotion with <.>lights</.> laser lights
      and everything <{2><[2>flashing</[2>

  <WSC#DPC091:0110:BJ>
      it was really incredible <O>tut</O> and so then they just drank
      beer and <.>they</.> they <.>had</.> all of um our staff had to
      wear these green tee shirts with <.>the</.> the new logo on it
      but there wasn't enough so i didn't get to wear one
      <with silly voice>unfortunately <{3><[3>boohoo</with silly voice></[3>

  <WSC#DPC091:0115:AL>
      <[1><O>laughs</O></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC091:0120:AL>
      <[2>mhm</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC091:0125:AL>
      <[3>oh</[3></{3> did you get to keep the um tee shirt if you got
      one <.>or</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC091:0130:BJ>
      <.>no</.> no actually she took them back cos the last promotion
      they did just for export dry over the festival they all got to
      keep their tee shirts

  <WSC#DPC091:0135:BJ>
      they were really nice light blue with d <.>b</.> d b export dry
      on them <O>inhales</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0140:BJ>
      <softly>yep</softly> um they're really nice but they didn't let
      us keep these ones

  <WSC#DPC091:0145:BJ>
      i don't know <.>why</.> why not but um i ended <.>up</.> <.>gw</.>
      they bought a whole lot of glasses in because they didn't have
      enough beer glasses

  <WSC#DPC091:0150:BJ>
      they were just drinking like nothing on earth and um <O>tut</O>
      so i had to like wash them

  <WSC#DPC091:0155:BJ>
      i was out back and i was like <.>s</.> they were <{><[>washed
      and i'd</[> stack them into all these boxes

  <WSC#DPC091:0160:BJ>
      <softly>it was <,> great fun</softly> but it actually <.>went</.>
      <.>we</.> we didn't finish till about one thirty <&>3:00</&> by
      the time <,> um <,> <O>tut</O> we'd cleaned up the ballroom cos
      the ballroom was immense

  <WSC#DPC091:0165:AL>
      <[><softly><O>laughs</O></softly></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC091:0170:AL>
      no wonder you didn't get home <{><[><.>that</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC091:0175:BJ>
      <[>and <.>yeah</.></[></{> and um <O>tut</O> so they <.>cleaned</.>
      they cleaned <.>it</.> we cleaned them up and had to vacuum it
      and when like every night we might have to set up for functions
      in other places the other banquet suites which are downstairs
      and like <.>y</.> on sunday night i <.>worked</.> oh saturday
      night i worked and i didn't get finished until quarter to three
      in the morning <,>

  <WSC#DPC091:0180:BJ>
      that was really late um cause we had to like split this huge
      room into three cos they've got like <.>w</.> folding walls

  <WSC#DPC091:0185:BJ>
      they come out and they slide along and um we had to <.>s</.> set
      all of them up <O>tut</O> and um <unclear>word</unclear> they
      had a <.>hu</.> a sort of wine tasting up in this businessmen's
      club room <{1><[1>just for</[1> elite businessmen

  <WSC#DPC091:0190:BJ>
      it's really nice and they had all this veuve clicquot and stuff
      and i had to go and get all these champagne glasses which they'd
      bought and i broke one <{2><[2><drawls>oh god</drawls> um</[2>
      and like wash them all and like stack them into boxes so a lot
      of the time <&>4:00</&> you're actually working by yourself and
      a lot of the work isn't arduous but the hours are really long
      but <,> you know sometimes you're just standing around for about
      an hour just doing nothing basically or just folding napkins or
      chitchatting washing floors <O>tut</O> but there is <.>t</.> a
      lot of time <O>tut</O> taken up with <,> <drawls>um</drawls>
      <,,> you know <.>just</.> just being idle and then you'll have
      like a spurt of work and then you'll just be doing nothing but
      then after everyone's GONE um you could be there for about
      another two hours cleaning up and finishing it off so the hours
      are great whereas at my last job you know i was working up about
      three hours to get eight hours and i did what eight and a <.>qu</.>
      eight and a half hours last night <,> um which is a lot <{3><[3>but</[3>
      you get a dinner break and everything <latch>

  <WSC#DPC091:0195:AL>
      <[1><O>laughs</O></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC091:0200:AL>
      <[2><O>laughs</O></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC091:0205:AL>
      <[3>mhm</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPC091:0210:AL>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC091:0215:BJ>
      and they have dinner cooked for you and stuff

  <WSC#DPC091:0220:BJ>
      the food's not brilliant

  <WSC#DPC091:0225:BJ>
      <{1><[1>everything</[1> seems to have carbohydrate in it

  <WSC#DPC091:0230:BJ>
      it's like RICE <.>and</.> and <.>m</.> meats you know and <.>s</.>
      and <.>ch</.> cooked in <&>5:00</&> chilli and vegetables and
      cheese you know

  <WSC#DPC091:0235:BJ>
      <.>everything's</.> maybe they think you know we won't WORK
      <laughs>hard enough unless we <{2><[2>have that</laughs></[2> um
      and like spaghetti bolognese and things like that <O>tut</O> so
      yeah <.>it</.> it changes each time you go

  <WSC#DPC091:0240:BJ>
      it's quite good but we got to try the beer before everybody else
      so that was <{3><[3>nice</[3>

  <WSC#DPC091:0245:AL>
      <[1><O>laughs</O></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC091:0250:AL>
      <[2><O>laughs</O></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC091:0255:AL>
      <[3>oh that's</[3></{3> really good <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0260:BJ>
      mm that was nice and then tonight um i got asked if i could work
      tonight and i thought yes as long as i can get home cos as long
      as i'll work as long as i'm allowed to go home on the first
      transport <.>which</.> we have like transports which go <O>tut</O>
      at quarter to twelve quarter to one and half past one

  <WSC#DPC091:0265:BJ>
      we caught the half one yesterday

  <WSC#DPC091:0270:BJ>
      they just call up taxis and they just pile a whole lot of us in
      a taxi who are like going kelburn karori and just drop us all
      off cause it's cheaper than having a bus

  <WSC#DPC091:0275:AL>
      oh that's true <{><[>yeah</[>

  <WSC#DPC091:0280:BJ>
      <[>yeah</[></{> and paying us transport allowances and things
      like that so that's really handy so yeah i can just walk down
      from varsity and just go in <,> and do my bit <latch>

  <WSC#DPC091:0285:AL>
      what's on tonight

  <WSC#DPC091:0290:BJ>
      TONIGHT <O>tut</O> <drawls>is</drawls> i think it's the
      <&>6:00</&> chess cos it's the premiere of the chess thing which
      i'm going to <with singsong voice>see on thursday</with singsong voice>
      and um <,> <O>tut</O> <.>they're</.> i think they're having a
      cocktail sort of function or drinks afterwards after the show

  <WSC#DPC091:0295:BJ>
      it's just <.>f</.> i think it's just for <?><.>big</.></?> <,>
      <.>th</.> and special or v i <.>p</.> special <{><[>v i ps</[>

  <WSC#DPC091:0300:AL>

  <WSC#DPC091:0305:BJ>
      and um and people in the play <{><[>in</[> the show yeah <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0310:BJ>
      i'm not sure exactly but um i don't know whether i'll be there
      all the time

  <WSC#DPC091:0315:BJ>
      i think i might be setting up for some other function and
      there's another one upstairs for <,> salon <,> hair products <,>
      which is on that evening too so i might stay around <.>fo</.> do
      the first one and then <,> tidy up and then finish <,>

  <WSC#DPC091:0320:BJ>
      yeah just wait and see what happens <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0325:BJ>
      should be good though

  <WSC#DPC091:0330:BJ>
      this is the last place <title>chess</title> has come

  <WSC#DPC091:0335:BJ>
      it's <.>gone</.> did the top of the north island first then went
      down to dunedin and christchurch

  <WSC#DPC091:0340:BJ>
      my boyfriend's brother saw it in dunedin and he said it was very
      good <O>tut</O> so i'm pleased i'm going but we had to book <,,>
      <&>7:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC091:0345:BJ>
      yeah my friend sharon booked <.>f</.> tickets um at the
      beginning of the year like january

  <WSC#DPC091:0350:AL>

  <WSC#DPC091:0365:AL>
      i wonder if there's any more bookings about

      know

  <WSC#DPC091:0375:BJ>
      <.>there</.> <.>it's</.> it's the same as the festival

  <WSC#DPC091:0380:BJ>

  <WSC#DPC091:0385:AL>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC091:0390:BJ>
      and so if you <.>want</.> i think all of the like really good
      sections um have all been sold out and they cost MONEY and
      otherwise you end up sitting behind posts and things like that
      <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#DPC091:0395:BJ>
