First real day of work today. I went in yesterday, but I didn't take any tables or anything...I just looked over the menus and explored the kitchen and bullshitted. Today they just like, threw me out on the floor and made me wait tables. It was mad busy, so Lori, who was supposed to be supervising me, left me to my own devices. My devices are pathetic.
But Jesus, I work with such a colorful group of people, here's a brief description:
Lori- Middle aged lady with a pretty smile, bleached blonde hair (cut short and styled into a lovely 80s-esque pouf), hot pink nails with neon purple decals, the thickest Passaic county accent I've ever heard, and a penchant for flirting with all of the kitchen employees, including Mauricio, Fernando, and Keith. Takes her job far too seriously.
Lisa- Fat Jewish girl. Likes to kiss other employees, touch their penises, and get wasted at "The Hole", a bar in Wayne, where she picks up 30 year old men with wives and children. She is not, however, a slut, she is a tease. She rarely ever follows through with what she starts.
Meghan- Raging lesbian. Comes across as trashy and dumb, but upon further investigation, one discovers that she is actually a student at Boston College, double majoring in English and Bio, with a minor in Studio Art. Often asks coworkers if they got any "meat" the night before.
Mauricio- Way cute European boy. Speaks Spanish. Chin length blonde hair. Likes to flirt with everyone, including the other guys. Threw a grape at me today.
Bayon- I might have gotten the name wrong. He's a flaming gay Ukrainian boy with bad teeth and thinning hair, and a tendency to invade peoples' personal space. Can piss off almost anyone in 4 minutes or less just by being near them.
RicK- My boss. Gay as a maypole. Wore a sunshine yellow shirt today with an orange striped tie, black pants, and light brown shoes&belt. Somehow, it worked. Says "fuck" a lot. Gets rides home from other employees. Picture the gayest middle aged man you can. Now think of how he would walk. That is Rick.
P.S. Jessie just looked over my shoulder and saw my lj picture, and honestly asked me why I had a picture of Elton John on the screen. Then I laughed. a lot.
