CINCO DE MAYO!

I hope you guys are enjoying this little holiday!

I’m happy I’m not working. My work is having a HUGE party..
One of the biggest around. Maybe the biggest.

Do you know what I’m doing right now?

Laying on the couch watching Lifetime movies! Waiting for Luke to wake up and join me.

This is not a joke. I worked last night and had an absolutely horrible night. I was so stressed out and running on no sleep. I was seriously not a happy camper.

I had one table that almost put me over the edge. After a certain time at night, the hostess goes home. By then people just sit wherever there’s an open table. I had to take another server’s 10 top along with all my tables. Which means, I’m busy. I’m in the middle of dropping off drinks and taking drink orders when I see these young kids at the door out of the corner of my eye.. I think I noticed them after hearing, “UHHH.. CAN YOU SEAT US?!?!”.. With my hands full and my mind full of snotty comments I’d like to say.. I as fake as can be say, “Hey guys! Feel free to take a seat anywhere a server will be right with you!”.. They start walking around like lost puppy dogs and I go drop off my dirty glasses and then go check on one of my tables when I notice someone waving their hands like crazy and glaring at me.. Oh yes, my lovely friends at the door found my section. I ask if I can get them something to drink.. the guy said with an attitude, “ UH YEAAAHH!.. We’ve only been waiting FOURTY minutes. So, it’s about time!”.. I wouldn’t lie to you guys, the max it took was 8 minutes. So I say, “ You’ve been sitting here for more than a half hour? WOW!”.. The entire time they are there, they are making out. Not a cute, drunk, little make out.. I honestly felt like it was the first time either of them were allowed to be alone with the opposite sex. I was so grossed out.. and no, I will not stand at the table while you finish up. Also, can I mention anytime I checked on them the girl wouldn’t talk to me. She’d give me a dirty look then whisper in his ear what she wanted and then he’d talk to me like I was scum. I’m not someone to judge people by how they look.. but honestly how they treated me, I don’t care if I judged. By looks I will assume that they play video games and watch those Japanese cartoons. She keeps ordering $8 dollar drinks and then the guy comes up to me and was actually kind of nice and asked for two 23oz beers, the ones that are on special for $3.... I bring them over to him, he thanks me.. she comes back from the bathroom and looks more pissed than usual. As I walk by he yells to me, “I DID NOT ORDER THESE!.. I would NEVER order her a beer because she does not drink beer. I said ONE beer. So take this back!” Unless I was drugged, I know when someone orders two beers and I know when someone orders a beer. One of the girls I work with comes up to me and tells me to ring in a drink for the girl and she’s going to take it to her. She comes back and tells me that they pulled her aside and shit talked me and the guy apparently wouldn’t stop making really rude comments about me. Since I explained to my co-worker that I am unable to wait on them without telling them to kiss my ass.. she looked after them and they finally wanted to cash out.. they must of thought she took over their table because they actually tipped pretty well. Not worth it though.

I stayed up really late last night studying.. then I had class this morning.

I am worn out. I’m sorry that this post was a huge rant. Better than no post at all.

    Way to keep it professional! I would NEVER be able to be a server! I wouldn't be able to control my frustration :)

    Oh, and in my opinion, there's no better way to spend a lazy Saturday morning than to watch Lifetime movies ;)

    xoxo

    I used to wait tables and bitches can be jealous and mean...her man probably would have been flirting with you if she weren't there. Girls are mean sometimes. You handled it well:)

      For some reason my computer is stupid and wouldn't let me comment so I'm "replying" under a comment :)

      My jaw dropped when I read this. I used to be a hostess and my BFF is a server and my Mom is a server. There is NO way in hell I could ever be one because I'd be fired immediately. lol I couldn't hold my tongue with a bunch of morons that I've seen come into restaurants I've worked in.

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...
