well, i guess i could update about work...but yeah...
me and this other girl named lacie were gettin trained last night...and thats all fine and dandy, we are gettin showed the ropes, and whatever...after we were showed where things were, rachel kinda cut us loose, and let us start seating people and whatever...well, that was fine, but after they left, we hadta buss their tables...thats fine too, except lacie wouldnt...it was kinda makin me mad...so i ended up pretty much bussin all the tables by myself...whatever, i can handle that...well what really mdae me mad was we had this group of 7-9 people come in...and i took them to be seated, and got their drink orders...i went back to fill them and lacie asked what they wanted...so i told her thinkin she would help...boy was i wrong! she looks at me and goes "have fun!" and walked into the kitchen...i was SOOO mad...so i handled that, bussed 3 more tables, and then started stockin cups, straws, napkins, and alla the stuff we needed for desserts...aka i followed the closing list...i did everything except wash the doors, which i left to lacie...since i got everything else done while lacie was screwin off, we were let go at 9...so yeah...i was NOT happy...happy first day of work yo! you get stuck with a freakin moron...a lazy one at that!
other than that, work wasnt bad...its not as hard as everyone makes it seem...table numbers are EASY! and once you get the hang of keeping drink orders straight, its not that bad...the main thing i had a problem with last night was straws...i found that if you keep them stocked in your back pocket, youll be fine...bussing tables is easy...except the stuff you spray on the tables stinks, and it makes your fingers greasy...but they give you a towel to keep in your belt loop for that, except i kept forgettin i had it there, and kept wipin my hands on my jeans...im so slow...other than that, if you learn quick, its really easy...just remember not to send the coffee pots back to be washed;-) my bad:-p
anyways, the dishwasher...wow, hes an entertaining kid! hes mexican, and JUST came from mexico...he speaks no english, but he can understand it...so i walk back there after bussing a table, and he looks at me and goes "suck my dick!" and i was like *mouth hangin open* "ummm you really dont wanna say that hun...its not good..." and he goes "oh! no? no? *some retarded version of sorry in english*" i was like "yeah, its ok, you just...dont wanna say that..." and he nodded...i looked at the cook guy, and i was like "thats not very nice...he thinks hes sayin something good, and youre tellin him to tell people to 'perform sexual acts' while on the job! real mature you guys" and we all started laughin...about 10 minutes later, tonya walks out, and shes laughin so hard her face is beet red...and i was like "let me guess...'no english speaking guy' nailed you too?" and she nods and starts laughing again and goes "*gasps for a breath* he looked at me and goes 'suck my dick!' and i told him he didnt wanna say that cuz it wasnt good..." i was like dude! me too! and we all started crackin up again...then tonya went back and yelled at the cook guy...it was funny...
about half an hour later, i walk back there after bussin a couple more tables, and 'no english speakin guy' looks at me and asked me a question in spanish...i knew what part of it meant...part of it meant "how do you say *random spanish* in english?" and i was like ummm i dunno, ill find out...so i go out front, and ask tonya...and she translated all of it except what he wanted to know how to say, cuz she didnt know what it meant either...so we asked stephanie...she didnt know, so she asked her mom(francis) and she didnt know either, so she asked someone else, who called her daughter, and we finally found out what it meant...i never went back to tell him how to say it in english, cuz it turns out that the entire thing he said to me in ENGLISH is "how do you say 'i want you' in english?*...so whatever 'i want you' in spanish is, is what he wanted to know how to say in english...i never went and told him, and i kinda just blew him off after that when i went back there lol...not good:-p it was funny though...
so all in all, my first night wasnt all that bad...there was some interesting times with 'no english speaking guy' and when rachel knocked over all the green river syrup...god that was funny lol...after work, i hung out with dan and the PIC...that was a good time...i did the same thing today...lotsa fun...anyways, i work tomorrow too, and im done updating yall...so, im out...late
