Still too wired to sleep. So, today at work the health inspector came. ::ominous music:: This was bad. See, I never eat anything before going to work...I just eat food on the side once I get to Elmo's...but today I couldn't do that. Apparently leaving food out is unsanitary, so I had to work with my stomach gnawing at me. That's not even the worst of it...even more than food, I needed COFFEE after getting so little sleep. But nooooooo, we couldn't have drinks while the inspector was making the rounds. So, I stumbled groggily through the first two hours of shift, deprived of my sweet sweet caffeine.
A note: Europeans do not know how to tip. Case in point: today I waited on this family of blond, strapping Germans who looked like they belonged on some sort of Aryan propoganda poster. Nice people really, didn't give me much crap...but then left me one dollar. I know they have different tipping practices there, so I can't be TOO mad I spose.
Lesson of the day: Always tip well. Waitresses have long memories, and if you tip poorly we WILL talk shit about you when you leave.
