6 weeks....

today

Today was an interesting day. long and tiring as always. I didn't make hardly any money my morning shift but this evening I made a bit.
One table in particular stood out. Two gentlemen from Norway. interestingly enough one was Asian. we talked for a bit, they told me they were there with the airforce base nearby. on "business". they made a big deal saying that, which was quite funny. :) I told them a little bit about my trip to Europe...they were thrilled to learn I had been there. they both spoke very good English and were really happy to know I thought so. Another thing that was funny was as they paid their bill, they paid with cash and they had to ask how much dimes and nickels were worth. they were laughing about it and I told them I completely understood. I remember handling foreign coins and not know how much they are, etc, etc.
They didn't tip much...like 9% but I didn't even mind. they were fun. and I loved listening to them speak to each other in their own language. :)
Oh and today. the button on my pants popped. while I was on break. so I still had a whole nother shift to work. yeah. I had to walk and buy safety pins. such a pain in the ass. ah well. :)

1 month and 1 day

after a particularly long and frustrating day.....

3 weeks and 1 day

first night waitressing

so tonight was the first night I was on my own. I had 11 tables all night. and I made a good bit of money. well at least that's what every told me for it being my first night.
it was fun. I liked it. I like a job that keeps me busy. crazy busy. I would never be able to have like an office job. I'd hate it.
my best table was a lady all alone. she was really friendly and we talked a bit. she ordered a shitload of food. two appetizers, a salad, an entree, two espressos, and a dessert. ate mostly all of it too. she loved me. gave me a $15 tip. :)
worst table was a 6top who tipped me $4 on a $76 check. nice people, huh. oh well. whatever.

I guess the best part though is that I like it. I like it alot. :)

day 12

it's so cold. and I'm sleepy. don't you love my face? :P

tomorrow is my first serving shift. for those of you who read this and don't know *which I think is a grand total of maybe 1?* I work at Carino's Italian Grill. I've been a hostess for like 3 or 4 months and now I've finished training to be a server. and tomorrow is my first shift all alone. should be interesting. :) hopefully I'll make some good tips. send me good karma!

reasons

Someone commented, "You did it for the attention."

I did it for the reason I believe I did it. I did it for the reason my sister believes I did it. I did it for the reason Andy believes I did it. I did it for the reason Lisa believes I did it. I did it for the reason YOU believe I did it. I cannot put another reason in your mind. you will believe what you choose.
