Day 185

Mi Buen Amigo


My am I glad to be sitting here in front of my computer in my underwear with a Bud in hand. I just got off of a 12 hour day at work, and the day was overall one of the busiest I've ever seen there. I sold $1,493, beating my previous one-day total by about $200. Before tip-out, I earned $289, or 19.35% of my sales. Nice.

Although, I have to say that on days like today, I kind of break even. I'm not sure I would willingly accept that amount of money if I knew how horrible I would feel, both mentally and physically. My legs are made out of jello. My feet feel like Mel Gibson's must have in Payback when his toes got smashed by a ball-peen hammer. I hate most of humanity. A bartender at the Cafe once told me, "People are weird about their money, and they're really weird about the food they eat. If you put the two together, you get the worst combination in this world, and we have to deal with these situations dozens of times a day." How right she is.

"I'll take a goat cheese salad with absolutely no red onions, if the balsamic vinagrette has onions or shallots or garlic in it then take it off too and instead give me oil/vinegar and soy sauce, add extra goat cheese, add chicken breast unless you grill it with some kind of onion or garlic, and if you do, then just put a trout fillet on there as long as it's not sautéed with any garlic and it has no bones or skin."
"Seriously lady, I should just stab you in the eye and call it a day. There's no way you just asked me to find a way to put that all into the computer."
"Oh, and the little ones would like a bread basket."
"Motherfucker, we don't have a bread basket. I can give you stale sourdough we use for our fondues, however. Then I can smash you and your 'little ones' in the face with a shovel."

I hate it when my Photoshop/Bridge/Premier Pro doesn't work and effs up on me. I can't really complain to Adobe or ask them for advice. They don't take too kindly to people with 'questionable' copies of their $2500 worth of software.
