Work, work, work
After returning home from Trois-Rivieres, I went to bed... only to wake up to go for an interview at the Rocky Raccoon Cafe. My manager/chef is awesome. He speaks 7 languages!! So of course that means I like him, but he's really zany in a cool kind of way too. Anyways, he asked me if I wanted to do my trial run at 3, and I said yes. It went really well. I made $65 in tips, which isn't as much as the other waitresses made because I wasn't taking orders. I worked again Sunday night and made $76 in tips! :D (I love tips). We would have made more, but when Tarin (one of the girls I work with) balanced the till, it was $43 short and none of us could figure out what happened. We could only think that, during the hectic busyness of the night, someone walked out without paying their bill and none of us noticed (due to the forementioned hectic busyness). So, we had to take it out of our tips. Still $76!! I'm happy with that. I work again on Sunday night and probably Saturday. I like it. It's really busy. No time to think and I'm always on my feet. I have a new found respect for waitresses. They have to do SO much. Seriously, you cannot be a stupid person to waitress. You would not survive. I'm also working as a "Wiarton Willie Interpreter". Yes, that's right. I talk for Willie. (I have come up with many, many sexual inuendos to my title :P). I sit at a picnic table in a mosquito tent with my co-"interpreter", Caroline, and we talk to anybody approaching Willie's habitat about him and show him where he is and try and get them to buy some of our cheesy Wiarton Willie merchandise. It's so easy and often boring. But! I get paid $9/hour to do it, so hey! Whatever. I have lots of time to read all of the books I've been meaning to read. Ha! There's a book that was written in Willie's point of view and it talks about the unveiling of the stone statue in the park (a.k.a.- the penis in the park). The sculptor wanted to have it wrapped in pink plastic and have that lifted off by a hot air balloon for the unveiling. He called it the condom. hahahahaha! I love it! Basically, I'm working all the time, and not much else. This is a very good thing because I'm making lots of $$$ and I'm not going to insane in my stupid town or from thinking too much.
