bah hum bug

Spring break has sort of let me down. Being able to sleep in isn't enough to satisfy me. I have been working so much. (not complaining… money is good) but that is the only benefit of not going to school. Because when I'm not working I’m either sleeping or showering or preparing to bus to work.. Hanging out is hard to do when I have a 16-hour turn around and I have to be back at work. And I kind of have to psyche myself up for work and be "ready" because it takes its toll, having equal potential to be really fun or really horrible. Pleasing not only the customers but also my co-workers is some really frustrating business. I am almost too sensitive to work as hostess. Where I have to control the flow of the entire restaurant and keep people from moving chairs around and from seating themselves, cleaning up after people and making sure the servers are content with the work I’m doing. On top of making sure the dishes are being done so there will be enough glass wear circulating. I love all the people, but sometimes their sour attitude puts me on defense and that’s a taxing situation in an 8 hour shift.


So there is your weekly work rant. Overall I’m happy with it. At least I have a good job. In a place that shows NO sign that we are in a recession. I make good money for being a college student living at home with mom. I don’t have too many bills yet so I should soak this up because before long…I’ll be back to paying rent and being dirt poor again. Oh me oh my. I also have to really start thinking about all my credit business. Collections’ is after me for a sick sum of money because of medical bills from 3 years ago. I get physically ill whenever I get a call from them asking me for a check money order or credit card number and they stir up all the invisible dust. :( Blah. I wish I had a sweet escape!

Mom’s gone for the weekend; she’s in Texas till Wednesday. I get the place to myself, which is really nice for a change. I’m not here a lot so it’s not a big deal but I got to have Vanessa over the other night and I cooked her some pasta and we watched Art School Confidential (we both fell asleep). Yesterday I got to go out with my brother and his girlfriend Erin. We went to Pike Place Market then met up with Max’s co-worker Allen at Fado, an Irish Pub and got some beers before max took me to work.

I'm going to go read. that's something I don't much of anymore. Hopefully I won't have ADD. That's been happening a lot lately.

Well that’s all I got for now. Peace folks.
