man this weekend was busy...
so mardi gras didnt quite go as planned. i ended up having to work a double on saturday. which really sucked cuz it was so busy sat. morning and then i was reproducing a check from earlier so i could get my cash out and the power goes out in the entire restaurant. it was like 5:30 and raining really hard and a transformer blew in the front of o'henrys. so we got rid of everyone and then started to pick up dishes and throw away trash and amanda even gave us the beers out of the coolers cuz they were gonna go bad anyways and the power comes back on. but were like its ok we dont have any gas for the grill because supposedly the firefighters that came by said they smelled a gas leak and turned off our gas. but no our gas was still on and we were forced to reopen. and i was gonna go home but they were 1 server short and it was really busy and kristi talked me into working a double. so i stayed...
then on monday, sean called in "sick" and so we only had 3 servers. 3 servers does not work out well when there are 21 tables, no hostess, no bus boy, only 1 manager (who isnt a great manager anyway), and a bar tender that kinda sucks. it was bad. there was a 20 - 30 minute wait at the door from 11:30 am all the way until 3:30 pm. there were tables that had dishes piled 2ft high because we didnt have time to bring them to the window to scrape them to be washed. i was supposed to get off at 4 but i didnt get out of there until 6 because my last table didnt leave until 5 and i had side work to do. but i did walk out of there with $150 so i guess its ok
i got to go up on the balcony of club 544 on bourbon monday night. i wanted to go to the rave but shit happened and i couldnt, i had to go to the club instead. the balcony was fun though.
now im back at school and i am extremely excited that my class is canceled tonight and my class tomorrow is canceled. if it werent for my class on friday, i would drive home right now for the weekend and come back on sunday. oh well, school is school.
