If I just have time to breathe.
Ice storms suck. They drove away most of the dinner crowd at the restaurant today and I didn’t make as many tips as I could have. But then again, I get a regular salary because I have an advanced position. Boo ya. My car was frozen worse than ice cream with freezer burn this morning before my grandma went out into the cold before me to unfreeze it for me while I got dressed and looked around for something to drink. I wasn’t successful and I didn’t feel like water, so I left the house and started to head off towards Target. God knows that I was running late to work, but my lame excuse of, “Oh, I just left the house because my car wouldn’t move due to the ice”, to my boss after I picked up everything that I needed at Target and my new morning favorite (White Chocolate Mocha with Soy Latte) from Starbucks, I headed off to work. The lunch crowd wasn’t bad, but my employee, Cheryl (her last name’s Crowe. xD;), didn’t show up again. I’m about to fire her pretty soon, but I can’t right now because I need her to cover for me while I’m away in Canada.
Oh, yes - I’m going sometime at the end of this month or early-February, whenever is best for Alyssa.
Going back on track, if there ever was one, I made my first mixed drinks at the restaurant today. We just got the new liquor license back, so yeah. A Cosmopolitan and two Blue Margaritas later, I’m such a good sport. I drank like half of my margarita and threw the rest away. The Cosmo got thrown out because I left it in the fridge for like a few hours and all of the ice melted. It was good while it lasted, though. I can’t drink in front of the customers, so yeah, you know.
I went to Target again right after work and didn’t really see anything interesting that I hadn’t already bought. Okay, well, I did, but I stopped myself from buying it because I didn’t really want it THAT badly. Hurrah, the compulsive shopper stopped herself for once. Yeah, being Asian means that I do become stingy with my money when the things that I buy are for me. If it’s for other people, then by all means, I spend like a fiend.
Oh, and I also tripped not once, twice, or three times… but four times with my work shoes in the store. Some guy was giggling and laughing at me. Bastard. Oh, well. I hope I made someone’s day today.
Then, I got lost on the road because I had to take a detour due to this large-scaled accident-slash-pile-up that was going on I-485 (the highway), but luckily, with my good sense of direction instinct, I found my way back home with Justin Timberlake playing on the radio. Yay.
Bought Abbey Road today. It’s been good. Seriously, my restaurant is the ONLY Japanese restaurant that plays THE BEATLES all-day long from 11 A.M. to 9 P.M. XDD I got complimented on my music selection, though. Abbey Road and Revolver on repeat, yo.
Now, I’m sitting here with my McDonald’s, trying to tell myself that it’s not a horrid place to eat at this late at night. Ugh, I’m fucking retarded.
