Thurs-Sun
Roomie is gone. She moved out today and now the place is mine for a month. I have a few weeks to deceide what i am going to do. I could...
A. Move home. That would make me happy and back with my friends, but a backwards step in going to Austin. All my stuff would go into storage for a little while. I would have to quit my job or see about a transfer to the Casa Ole near my place.
B. Move to Conroe. My job is secure enough to do so for 6 months. I am not going to get fired there, they like me too much and i wont give them a REAL reason to fire me. The move would be a MAJOR backwards step going to Austin. Derail those plans untill about January. Somthing i dont want to do, but it would be nice to have that much money saved up. I found a place for 379 a month. So it is somthing to consider.
C. Move To Austin. A positive step in the Direction for my career. However, ill be going alone (cept for kitty) in a city i have no friends in, no Job prospects a little bit of money saved.
Being conflicted kills me but i am going to go to austin on monday or tuesday of next week to check out some apts. Like brian said, the east side is bad and true to words, my apts arent there. I just need somefriend to go along for the ride and check them out with me. I can stomich living in Conroe for 4 months and i might see about if the apartment people will cut me a break on it. I am not sure.
On to some bitching about work.
I didnt make as much as i could have for a few reasons. i had 2 big tables. one of 15ish and one of 8. both of which shut down half of my section and (as per MY request) i asked to be skipped a few times. so that cut down on getting tips. i say its 1/2 my fault 1/2... Fate's fault. i only made 83 bucks, which i can totally live off. so one thing that peeves me is when there is gratuity added on to a big table and i bust my ass to serve them the best and the customer doesnt add on the extra 5% to the total. i work hard to get 20% and i usually dont get it. i was about 15 bucks short of 20% and it would have made my day to get it. So i did an experiment. After the 1st table didnt give me anything extra i decieded to see about the next table. (at 8 or more, gratuity is added) Long story short, their ticket total was $60.... and i guess by chance i got 9 dollars off the entire table. that is 15%. figures. anyway i hate when people brag about how much money they made. its true if i didnt have those big tables i could have had about 8 to 10 tables more. so who knows.
ANOTHER thing i hate is when people bring their freaking kid in and they are A. too loud, or B. Crying and the parents just let their kid wail. it SUCKS. i hate it. there was this one today and the little girl was about 3 maybe even 4 and crying and being too damn loud. and the parents are just letting her cry and not doing a thing about it. i just want to hurt them, shank them with a rusty fork. I also hate when they let their kids decide on what they want. cause this is the conversation
Mother : what would you like to drink.... sprite or coke
Kid : ...............*blank stare*...................
Mother : ......coke..... or.... sprite..................
Kid : ... umm i dont know.........uhhhhhhh
Mother : Coke or sprite.....................
you get the picture, it would go on with this but by that time i am on my clicky pen and clicking it at 50 times a second to get them to hurry the hell up. anyway, enough for now. i really dont know why i do this anymore, im sure only one or two people even read this damn thing.
