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.

day 8 I think

yesterday, this woman asked if I had gone through chemo. I think she was reaching out to me because she had cancer. you would have never been able to tell by looking at her. she had short blonde hair and was eating with her husband and daughter. very beautiful woman. talking to her made her seem even more so because of her outlook on life. she beat cancer. she was alive and you could clearly see how happy she was. how happy her husband and daughter were.
SHE is the reason I have no hair now. I want to experience as much as I can what she is experiencing. I want to be a part of it. I want to show that woman and others like her that they are not alone. I am with them, if no other.
I don't quite know how shaving my head has affected my life as of yet. I've only had a bald head for 8 days now. I think it has made me a tiny bit more confident, now that I've done the craziest thing. :P it is pretty drastic. I kinda want my hair back. :P but I'm okie with it now. it will grow back in its time.
I have more time now that I don't have to fix any hair. yay. time is my money.

uhm what else. I think that's it for now. the last few days have physically and mentally burned me. I'm so worn out. I really live at work now. ah well. hopefully my check will be good. can't wait until I'm not a trainee anymore and I can get my tips. :)

upon request...
