i miss "waiting".
i am currently on day eight of my work streak - which is to say that i have worked eight straight days in a row, and plan to continue straight on until thursday. that's the hope anyway. thursday night will be spent at some kind of chicagoland drinking establishment with grrximapirate who appears to have risen from the depths of the social dead, and the rest of the weekend will be spent in champaign-urbana, drinking my liver away, rocking the hell out of this costume, and making some really poor decisions that i expect will be documented on my camera for later amusement.
anyway, on day six of my streak (saturday) - i returned to my old job for a few hours, to schlep some food and take some orders and wear the fanny pack yet again in hopes of returning with a handful of cash. i had no idea how nice it would be to come back to that place after being away...and i certainly had no idea i was missed as much as i was. the shift was quick, painless, and full of familiar faces, bad sexual jokes, and hugs - qualities that are wholly lacking at my "real job." yes, i'm making more money, and yes i'm getting to do what i want to do, but i feel like i'm being baby-sat inside my office. there is one person who i would place in my "peer group" and two that are close, and no other girls. so i have a helluva time relating to everyone, as awesome as most of them are. anyway...the moral of the story is that i miss relating to my coworkers. and i miss the dirty jokes and weird restaurant humor and stores and bonds. i miss waiting tables - i spent three years trying to get out of it, and i miss it. go figure.
anyway, here's some more random music - more mainstream and rock-based than last time:
"A Hard Road" - Black Sabbath
"All in the Suit That You Wear" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Supernaut" - 1000 Homo DJ's (feat. Trent Reznor)
"Addiction" - Kanye West
"No-Leaf Clover" - Metallica
"Disarm" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Hands On The Bible" - Local H
"Let's Get High" - Dr. Dre
