I got seven days of work this month - bumped up from six, which I discovered last night while looking at the calendar. I finished up my four-block of days, so I've got a nice paycheck coming. Ouran and MST, here I come~
Adventures at work have made it all interesting. For instance, last night started off amazingly dead, so we all became OCD and cleaned things. I got to clear out the large refrigerator in the our room - complete with the food and shelves - and climb inside it to wipe down the walls and clean it. At one point, I kept closing the door and giggling. I was just short enough for it to be fun rather than painful.
[My left middle and ring fingers keep falling asleep...]
Sooo many large parties last night. We usually get 2s and 4s, but last night was overrun by 6s and 7s and a 10. Meant increased wait time for tables, and at one part, a party actually complained despite the fact that they were told an hour wait...Blargle. It did mean goods tips, and since I was out late enough at the restaurant, I got them from two of the three waitresses.
What is kinda amusing about working where I work is that, since it's a local thing, I do see a handful of people I know. Not a lot, but they do show up. Last Friday, my parents came, but the biggest surprise was my first grade teacher showing up - and recognizing me. [Teachers are flippin' amazing.] Then the people who know me, but I so don't know them...yeah.
However, I had a very awkward one this past Friday. While going back to the kitchen, I heard someone say "Hey Ginger!" It was a voice I recongnized, and when I turned to look at them, it was a couple I knew. I stood there and said "I know you, I know you, I know you, I know you..." He smiled and told me. It was Lorenza's parents.
I kept up the pleasantries but shot back to the kitchen, where Blythe was. I proceeded to flip out. "The two at three? Those are Lorenza's parents. Lorenza's parents who kicked her out of their house, the Lorenza who because of that had to live at my house for three months, Lorenza's parents." I avoided contact with them for the rest of the night, but it was so...
How dare you, I thought to myself. How dare you behave as if nothing has happened after what you did to my best friend and your daughter. Oh, I was livid.
The rest of the night was fine. Blythe randomly said something like "oh my lamb, you are the only one to understand me", to which I answered 'maaaaah'. I kept doing sheep noises to her throughout the night. [I also got a chance to sing 'Tibby, Oh Tibby', but replacing the turtle parts with sheep.] Then I discovered that she saw "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" un-MSTified, but that she knew very well what the show was. Good times.
Last night, after I got off, I had ordered some food, so me and the other bus kid Cody were in the back room, munching away at chicken strips and waffle fries [ordered the same thing wooh]. At one point, there was a fly buzzing around that we were both trying to catch. I, however, was in the line of sight of head-chef-man David, who wondered what in the world I was doing. "There's a fly!" I said. "You sure you're not going crazy?" he asked. "No, because Cody sees it too, and unless we're both going crazy, then there's a fly." "Well, if working here hasn't made you crazy, you obviously don't belong..."
Everyone's insane. God, I love it.
