February 20, 1989 (Monday)

Did a lot of pre-closing very fast and early. Risked everything – and succeeded. Bar closed at 10.15pm (!). Could’ve made it 10pm but didn’t want to. Lots of staff came after closing – all well dressed up to attend the Annual Staff Function later. Anti-social: decided against going despite pleas from several people. Discouraged and disappointed with management’s recent decisions and rules.
