Asking God for a Film Festival Shift

Every year, around this time, there is the London film festival. I always like working on at least one day of the festival, but it all depends on whether I can get a shift or not. Usually, permanent staff at the theatre hosting the festival are gven priority and the remainder of the shifts are allocated to agency staff.

So I asked God to give me an opportunity to work at the festival. 

I soon received an email for some shifts at another venue. I responded to say I was available.  My agency got back to me to let me know those shifts were no longer available, however,  she could offer me a shift at another venue...the one that was hosting the film festival. I said yes.

On the day of my shift, I notced I was the only agency staff. I was allocated a shift working in the cloakroom, but I asked the duty manager to swap my position. I ended up working inside the theatre.

I did get to see one film, but it wasn't my cup of tea. At least I did work in the festival.

Thank you, God, for giving me the shift I desired.  ❤️

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
