Let them eat cake!

It's good to finally be making money again. The job at Mamma Mia's isn't too bad. It's actually really easy and everyone there is really nice. I've worked 5 days so far and I have 4 days there this week. I don't really like driving to Plymouth but I'll get over it. It should take me 20 minutes to get there but then I get stuck behind a slowpoke that is actually doing the speed limit and it could take up to a half hour. It's easy money there, that's for sure. It's not that big of a restaurant so there isn't much running around...the kitchen is sometimes slow so that will take some getting used to. When I first started at Jack Flats, I couldn't believe how easy it was compared to Red Fish. Well, after starting here at Mamma Mia's, I can't believe how easy it is compared to Jack Flats too! It's pretty much a waitress paradise. No separate checks. $2 charge for splitting a meal (for the tourists). I can add my own 15% gratitutity to foreigners without any managers arguing with me. The host actually does her job. On the weekends we have busser who actually do their job. Not much sidework. And the computer and menu wasn't that hard to learn. So I think it will be a good little job for the time being.

Besides work, there's really not much I've been doing besides watching movies and becoming even more addicted to Netflix...so addicted that I might upgrade to 4 movies at a time....Akeelah and the Bee: amazing. Thank You For Smoking: really good. American Dreamz: horrible. Poseidon: nowhere close to the original, but decent. I also managed to see Borat and Marie Antoinette in the theatres. Marie was awesome. Though I'm sure a lot of people won't like it...I didn't like Da Ali G Show, where Borat originated, so I don't know why I thought I would like the movie. But after hearing all the good reviews I figured I would give it a try. Yeah....about that. There were a few funny scenes but overall, I was not impressed. You liiiiiiiiike? Not so much.

Right now I'm trying to figure out my vacation situation. I know I shouldn't take all the time off, but fuck it. You only live once. I'm going on two cruises...one on January 25th - a 4 day cruise with the CLT gang, and then one on February 11th with the usual suspects. I wasn't going to go on the CLT cruise, but today I decided that I'm definitely going. It wouldn't be a cruise without me and my video camera! Meanwhile there are 2 weeks in between both cruises and instead of flying home, I'm going to hang with my parents I guess. But this "hanging" will involve a week in Key West which I'm really looking forward to. And I'm hoping that me and my mother will be able to convince my father into going to Disney....maybe my Florida ID will still get us discounts! So 3 and a half weeks in Florida. Who knows if I'll still be working at the restaurant in Plymouth? For all I know they could get rid of me once I start up at the yacht club when I'm not so available anymore. Plus it's only a waitress job...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Peace.
