A phone number?
The phone rang this afternoon at 4pm. It was my boss asking me where I was. I guess I was late for work.
I crawled out of bed and got to work at about 4:30. They don't bother writing me up or scolding me or anything since I don't waste labor. So I guess I started the day on a bad foot with that. I was supposta wake up early and go buy a new backpack and some binders. Instead I'll have to carry my busted ass backpack with one arm strap and hope that the first day hand outs are minimal.
So at about 6 a group comes in and places an order. I was in the mood to try and earn a tip by butternig up guests. So I give them a 4 dollar off coupon and be overly friendly (if there is really such a thing). I guess it didn't work as they didn't offer anything, but they said thanks and that I was 'awesome' (I think they said awesome or something to that effect). I hadn't given up though. I checked up on them and let them know when their food was coming and I even brought out the food and all the extra little stuff that they could need. I checked on them one last time before taking my break. They seemed all finished and they thanked me once more.
It seemed like a lost cause for a tip, but thats just the way it goes in fast food. Nobody tips, we obviously don't do enough work to deserve one (roll eyes smiley goes here). So I sit down on my break and the next thing I know someone comes up right behind me and startles me. It was the woman from the table I was 'working'. I thought she was coming over to thank me and give me a tip. Instead she said that the girl over at the table wanted me to give this to you. It was the table number and on the back was
Danielle
and her phone number.
She then told me that she is a very nice girl and I seemed like a very nice boy and she urged me to call her. I was taken by surprise and quickly said 'oh thank you, I sure will'. My mind was racing to remember if there was a girl at the table. Sure enough I saw a pretty damn fine girl sitting over at the table looking my way.
Must have been my lucky day.
Anyways I had to close at work so there was no way I was going to be able to give her a call tonight and all the guys and the girl there said that calling right after getting the number is not the right move. They told me to make her wait. So it was a unanimous decision that I should hold off on a call.
Seeing how I don't ever get put in this position I wasn't sure how to handle the situation on the phone. So now I got a little time to think it over. I think the first step would be deciding on a day to hang out and see how it works out. I'm trying not to approach this as a potential bf/gf situation, but rather as a see if I can make friends with her and share common interests (if there are any). That way I'm not trying to think like a boyfriend and I'll just keep an eye on how she respondes to me. If some does happen then it will happen because she wants it to happen and I'll just roll with whatever.
Anyways. Today classes begin (7 hours from now). I feel tired and I hope to break my habit of falling asleep in my classes. I just have two classes and then I'll have some time in the afternoon to take care of stuff. I'll probably give her a call then and see what days she is available this week and see if we both have openings. Shit, then I got to buy books. I imagine the line will be so long it will run down the book aisles. I won't need to buy a Japanese book though since we will be using the second part of the book I bought last semester.
Then I have my last class Jap 2 and then I gotta book it back to work for another closing shift.
Not a lot of time to relax. I got to get to sleep. I didn't spellcheck this either so if a work is missing or something is missplaced, then you get to play the guessing game: "What the fuck was he trying to tyep!!".
