employee of the month
summer? work, work, work. but, ah! it has payed off. a month late, I was named june's employee of the month. I was confused for why I of all people got it, having been a rising star. steve (gm) insists that I earned it, rick speaks too highly of me, ken started acting like a father figure, jr is just a bipolar mess who seems to like me, matt's warming up to me/everyone here, mike is quiet but likes me, and fawn wants me to be a trainer. come on now, I cant have done anything too amazing to have really deserved it .. the most I can think is wiping down tables for servers. I was afraid everyone would hate me because I've been here 2 months and got the award for my first month here, but paul (a really sweet server) said he believed I deserved it, and I know some that will side with him, too. but others .. hah. work is exactly like a second family; you can't choose who you work with, but you have to work together. I like work, a lot.
I look forward to it as an escape from the house, which has been driving me crazy lately. I don't even want to venture into it. I'm just grateful, as it was pointed out to me last night, that I have good escape routes on hand when I need them.
however, work today wasn't the smoothest. there have been worse, but it started out peculiarly slow, then we got totally slammed- our wait was up to 35-40 minutes at one point. I came home and eventually crashed on my bed. I was shaken awake by my mom calling me down to complain some more about our current issues in the house. I was having a really cool dream, too. lately I've been having dreams of people who I hardly talk to (i.e., ali poppe, kath hullen, now becky kujawski, and some other guy I recognized but just couldn't place the name). it's the second or third dream I've had about work .. cb was all a different layout, and there was like, a stage in the middle of the place, and I heard music, but it was dark .. people were eating out on the porch, specifically becky and said guy, together, flirting. I took note that they shouldn't be together, but I returned to what I was doing- crossing paths with server greg and, I think, briefly dancing with him to the music. I went to get menus and found my old purse that broke with a copy of the lovely bones in it. then I was called awake.
later tonight I just eked by my mom plans with jon while he was already on the way to the house. we went back to his place and made a small dinner together - I chopped stuff, wooo. it was a very interesting yet bland dinner; salty chicken and green beans in bread crumbs .. haha. he made me take a toothpick-point sample of some like, mega death hot sauce, and, well, yeah it was really fucking hot haha. we later shot some pool which I've been dying to do. escape routes; thank you, God.
