(no subject)
For the sake of posterity, I should post something. I deleted the MySpace account the other day. I didn't really look at it much anymore, and it needed to be something I killed with my own hands :P. A lot of memories were on that site, and I was admittedly a little wistful about seeing it go. I miss the past sometimes. Example: last night, I was doing my laundry (which incidentally costs about $6.50 each time I do it...wish I had a washer and dryer...) and as I was taking my pillowcases off, I remembered how mom used to put new pillowcases on my pillows and spray them with some bottled scent that I never remember. When I smelled that pillow before bed, it was the most comforting thing.
Ooh, speaking of family, the dad and bro are coming down from the 11th to the 16th! I'm going to request off work (more on that in a second) so that we can hang out and stuff. I'm so excited about this. Dad even wants to spend a few days in New Orleans before heading out, which shocked me a bit. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to keep the both of them in line :P
Being a server is one of the more difficult positions I've ever had. There are a million things to remember, and you have to remember them all on a moments notice. It's a lot of fun, but it's also really intense. I made quite a few mistakes my first night, but I'm improving every day. I know I can do really well at this job, I just need to improve my skills and get the routine down. One of the things I didn't expect was the nonsense after the shift ends. It's almost impossible to wind down within an hour after ending the shift. The first night, it took an hour to get to sleep after I hit the sack. I understand why people have parties after their shifts now. One of the other interesting things is the people I get along with at work. For the most part, I talk and joke around with the older folks and the married. I don't connect well with people my own age, and for some reason, I just understand older people better. They're more rational, knowledgeable, and experienced. Those are three words that I suppose I could use to describe myself. They say that you surround yourself with people that resemble you...
I'm listening to French radio, and I only get about 5% of the things they're saying. I'm so rusty.
