Looking and feeling rough
Relatively speaking last night sucked. I made more money on a slow Friday night than I did last night selling a lot more food. I think what amazes me most is the attitude people have about tipping. It is either feast of famine. And last night brought Moses and the Hebrews to mind. Run my butt off giving the best service I can, never an empty glass and always getting what they asked for. No cold food, even though that isn't my fault if it is, and all on time. Damn!
I hurt, my lower back all the way down to mid-calf. Then there is my feet and heels. I never realized there could be so much pain involved. I just wonder if I will regret doing this job in my latter years. What kind of permanent damage am I doing to myself? I got home and could have just fallen straight to sleep, but I had to do some computer "stuff" and then off to bed. Woke up to freezing rain hitting my bed room window and got out of bed at 11. That was yummy. Looking in the mirror this morning was a very scary activity. I braided my hair for work and slept with it that way and this morning it is all straggley and funky and I have swollen eyes with bags under them. I am lovely. It is going to be a 2 cups of coffee day.
Am I bitching? You're damn skippy I am. I need to every now and then because I am an imperfect human being. I love to serve people, whether at work or some other atmosphere. But, sometimes I get so tired of people not appreciating it. I could go into all the attitude of Jesus thing, but you all know I just need to vent, and that I know and practice that most of the time.
You know what I am going to do today? I am going to start painting my bathroom. We picked out this cool color called Brass Mesh. It is a warm dark yellow. It will go great with the red that we are eventually going to paint our room. Aaaaand...I am copying the bathrooms of Macaroni Grill by surrounding the mirror with wood molding and corner "medallions". Dark stain. I found the molding at a local discount builders supply. Cheap. I am pretty excited about it. It will be so warm and inviting and beautimous! Then I will need to tile the floor and I will be set, except for a remodel to put in a bigger tub that Alan and I both will fit in.
Ok I will shut up for now. Please tip your local servers well.
