Well work was interesting last night. Earlier in the night it was a slow Tuesday, but as soon as 8:30 arrived things went a little nuts. I also had a party of about 30 older men from a local choral group downstairs. They spent the whole night singing these amazing 4 part harmonies! They even found a love song most of them knew with my name in it and serenaded me!!! I don't embarass easily but I was blushing and smiling. It was the sweetest thing anyones done for me in a really long time. I was really touched that after they had had a performance and now were just hanging out enjoying each others company that they thought enough of me, a complete stranger, to do that. It was awesome. The night was a little complicated though. A lot of the guys ordered beer/wine, and obviously I'm not 21 yet, and neither was the majority of people working. Luckily Daniel :) one of our shift leaders is and has his liquor license, or things would have gotten interesting. Then one of the registers broke. Then the other server left and it was just me and people kept coming in. 11 here, 6 there, another couple of tables of 3. Ugh crazy. Daniel and Arik were nice enough to bus downstairs for me or i would probably still be there cleaning. Once we closed I found out that the dough roller had gotten a towel stuck in it and had to be taken completely to pieces. I also found out that Lauren, the server who came in at 4, didn't remember to turn off the salad bar so I spent about an hour dumping boiling water on it, and trying to hack away at the huge ice block. I wasn't strong enough to pull up the trays that sit under the ice which would have made it easier. Luckily Daniel came to my rescue. I finally got done at about 12:15 and talked to him for alittle bit and then to his friend Max who works at Purdue West. When we all tried to leave Daniel couldn't get the door locked, so we were banging, pushing, and swearing at the damn thing. Daniel asked me if I'd locked the front doors which I hadn't since thats not my job so he had to run back in and do that. Then after more door fighting he called Voelz, another shift leader who told us how to essentially rig the door to lock. We finally got the damn thing done and I got home at about 1am.
