In lieu of the current summer job search, I've considered waitressing as an option but now I'm not so sure. Why, you may ask? It's because I'm probably the biggest klutz there ever was, and spilling food (over me, over the floor), tripping over things seems to be my forte.
Yesterday at work (library), I was sitting down on the couch during my break, enjoying some hot coffee while I studied for my upcoming exam. Somehow I decided to place the mug on the couch, so that when I got up, the coffee spilled all over me and some on the couch. The worst part was, it had spilled all over the front of my pants so that it looked like I had wet myself, and of course the coffee was hot. After my supervisor and co-workers in the lunchroom had a good laugh, I took the walk of shame through the community centre to the washrooms where there was a blow-dryer, and called my mom to ask her to bring a change of clothes for me. Unfortunately she was busy, and I waited 40 minutes before salvation in the form of dry clothes arrived.
Lesson of the day? Always carry a spare change of clothes with me in case of ~*emergencies*~ like that.
