As glad as I am that I finally have a job that gives me decent hours, I feel like I'm working TOO much. I work 6 days a week, and it still doesn't add up to 40 hours. Some of my shifts are only 5 hours long, but to me, the entire day is ruined if I have to work. They're always right in the middle of the day so I can't plan anything until the night. Then, I can't stay out too late because I have to go in early the next day. Boooo. I haven't seen or talked to my friends in forever, and I have barely spent more than 5 minutes with my parents. The money isn't exactly rolling in either. I've been working a lot of private parties (which go on my paycheck) and I've been shafted a couple of times because I'm new. So I'll let this go on for another week then I'll start complaining. However, I can't complain too much, because a crappy money night at Dave and Busters is still sooo much more money than a crappy night at any other job I've ever had.
On top of this, I'm still struggling to study for my GRE class. Its tough, but I'll be glad when thats over. I feel like all I do is work, sleep, and study. I haven't had time for the gym, and my eating habits are all kinds of fucked up. I'll go all day without eating anything, then eat a bunch right before bed because I'm so hungry. So much for the diet plan.
One of the key factors to waitressing is to leave work at work. I have a habit of rehashing all my mistakes after they're over which is a horrible habit, because you're always gonna make mistakes. I just have to remember that its really not that important in the grand scheme of things. Who cares if I forgot to remove the pico de gallo from some lady's stupid sandwich? Who cares if I forgot to bring you an extra water? Its just food, and people can just deal with it. Leave it at work, and I'm much happier. Doing that, however, is another story. I'm working on it.
