  • hui!

    wow, talk about feeling like poo this morning! my body is so tired, my mind's dragging, and i'm warming up for a vocal coaching soon...
    today's gonna be a long day - vocal coaching from 11-12, then ABA work from 1-5, then macgrill at 6... sigh.

    last night reminded me why i like working at mac grill.
    first we cut the grumpy butt expo soon after i walked in, so that lightened up the mood loads. zack was back on the line all night, and he's just a pleasant person to have back there - doesn't get stressed out. life's more enjoyable around pleasant people.
    i sang a bunch last night too and spoke to a few tables. a guy complimented my ugly tie while i dropped food off at the table next to him. i thanked him while thinking to myself, "this tie is awful!"

    i kept myself going by singing all night too - in one of the songs we're singing for Cinderella, i sing:

    Cinderella, come to me, Cinderella, come to me,
    Cinderella, over here, Cinderella over there,
    Cinderella, fix my hair, bring a ribbon for my hair!
    Cinderella, bring me this, Cinderella, bring me that!
    All the time they keep me busy, always at their beck and call!

    that's exactly how i felt last night -
    can you sing happy birthday for me,
    can i have more bread,
    can we get more plates,
    can we get cracked pepper on everything we order,
    can i have more cheese,
    can i get a water refill,
    can you get my guinness.

    blech... maybe if i wasn't constantly running food out and had more time i wouldn't get so bothered by all the guests and server's constant requests.

    and since this is going in the 'rant blog' direction, i need to get this out even though i already snapped at a few of the servers already, haha...
    if you want me to sing happy birthday for you so you can get a better tip, you better help run out food or bus a table!
    while i spend time making your table happy, there is food i'm supposed to run just sitting on the line and tables that i should be clearing.
    anyway, </rant>

    time to shower, eat, admire the washed dishes, and head out for the long haul that will forever be known as September 30, 2009.
