Part One (written Saturday night):
My sister had her babies!! Two little boys, Braylen and Kellen Kilpatrick. She wasn't due for another week or so but her blood pressure was skyrocketing and the only way to ensure Sylvia and the babies would be ok was to perform a Caesarean. So December 22 is my nephews' birthday. Strange how the number 2 seems to surround them. Their mother is 28. Their aunts are 20 and 23. There are 2 of them. Born on the 22nd day of the 12th month. I'll think more about this later.
I've been thinking about starting Tiger (foodrunner) training. I really only like 2 of the 15 hostesses I work with, Barbara and Sagan (my Barbie and my Sagalicious). I like pretty much everyone on the serving and tiger staff. The hostesses are nice, but they get really bitchy really fast and they actually made a girl quit recently because they formed a little clique against her. They are petty and most of the time really annoying. I'm always in the kitchen or on the floor because I hate having to stand there with them and try to make small talk. Talking to the servers/tigers is really easy, as they are less judgmental (and more intelligent) than most of the hostesses. I guess that's because there is more availability for diversity than with us. There are 3 times as many servers than hostesses; 3 times as many different personalities. With more diversity, there is greater acceptance of said diversity. Minus the two girls I mentioned, all the girls behind the host stand are pretty much clones. Ashley is Amanda is Mirenda is Alicia is Shannon. I'll talk to Dave and Josh about it. Q overheard me talking to Barbie and Bryan (more on Bryan and I later) about it and said he would talk to Josh too. That's a perfect example of why I'd prefer the switch. If I had said that around a hostess, she would have had a reaction along the lines of "Hm, that's nice. Let's talk about something pointless and trite. Or make inside jokes with each other and exclude people we don't want in on them". In fact, tonight Shannon decided to take me off greeting instead of coach me on what I need to do to get better at it. And then she said I could go home. I spoke with Dwight about it (partly because I know Dwight hates Shannon and likes me) and he gave me some good advice. I still think I'd be happier Tigering. We'll see.
Ok. Since I'm sure you're dying to know. Bryan. We keep flirting with the idea of acknowledging our attraction to each other, but both of us know it's inappopriate to discuss it at length at work. He did however request that we chill Thursday when he found out that's a day off for both of us. Naturally I geeked out and told Barbie. She says he told her that he does like me but wouldn't talk to her about it. He asked me to make him a special gift card and I made it good for "one request from the recipient". He has told me things he wanted to make it for, but won't tell me what he really wants until Christmas Eve (we're both on for doubles). I asked him about it tonight during one of my million excursions to my sanctuary of the kitchen. He smiled, kept doing what he was doing (I caught him in the middle of ringing up an order), and said he had decided but couldn't think about it right now. That's got to mean it's good, right? He doesn't seem like the type to build up all this suspense and then be an asshole. His first idea was a movie date with me (cuuuute), his second idea was to use his request to help a tiger that has/had a crush on me get me (admirable, but not cuuuuute haha). Third time's the charm, right? Monday needs to get here faster. Like now.
Part Two (written Sunday night):
I swear to god if this request isn't worth the suspense, I'm going to kill him.
Work was...work. My last shift of selling gift cards this year. Bryan gave me a big hint that his request would at least be good. He said he was waiting until Christmas Eve in hopes that the closer to Christmas he asked, the greater the chance I would say yes to whatever he asked. What is this, Love Actually?! I chilled with Antony, Liz, and Shane after work. It reminded me a lot of chilling with Melissa and Eddie. I guess I don't mind a year of dealing with assholes and shitheads if at the last hour I get hit with real people who are actually good friends (instead of just pretending to be) and Bryan. :)
