complaining

[holy_cats]

I'm pretty irate right now. Last night was the grand opening at work, I was not as busy as I'd first thought I'd be. We only get two tables to start and I had quite a few just sitting there with a few drinks or splitting an appetizer (read: crappy checks with crappy tips) so it took me awhile to turn them... I only made 49 dollars! I'm so pissed.

because you can't be 100% efficient all the time, everyone needs recovery and rest. I hope you have words with him.
Don't be mad at yourself for being upset and irritated. 'shutting up' and 'not complaining' doesn't solve anything, it just hides and pretends that everything is perfect and NOTHING is perfect. You have to make allowances for that. Loves xxx

you're right
I just wish everything wasn't so one sided.
I know my job is just a dumb low paying restaurant job and all but it still counts as work and I hate when I feel so dismissed because it's not 'as important' as other stuff.
I feel really like everything I do is brushed off as being unimportant.
My whole life in unimportant :( ugh

Kate is right, and what are you talking about, your job is dumb & whatnot?

You work 2 full time jobs with non-stop overtime at home: mom to Ella & mom to Lily. Then, you work your restaurant job on top of that. And that's not even counting your apparent job of keeping the house looking decent.

You have every right to be mad!

I need to really suck it up, though, because a lot of people are moms! With more kids and more responsibilities than me! It's my job. I shouldn't complain about it. I love my kids and I should be grateful I have such beautiful healthy babies instead of bitching about messes and not sleeping in. I think I was just really tired.
I know I will adjust after awhile, just need to get used to a different schedule. Been at the roadhouse so much this past 2 weeks, I feel like I live there! haha
I do a really shitty job of keeping the house clean, so I'd say I fail at that! But it's difficult when Gail can't keep up with them and they make a big mess, it's not her fault.
The thing is, I want to be one of the people who works really hard at everything she does and doesn't complain and does it all with a smile. I have to work harder to be like that. People who do that are amazing.
