Not a moment too soon...
Two whole days off starting right now.
I barely had the strength to climb the stairs up from the train.
I think that tomorrow I’ll do nothing.
And then the next day I’ll do everything else.
It must be embarrassing to be SUCH a cliche...
Customer enters restaurant, customer freaks out when hostess attempts to pull table out for them. Customer overly concerned with contamination. Hostess walks away secretly laughing at all the other truly ”contaminated” items customer will touch during his stay.
Grace strikes again!
I am sporting a lovely purple raised knot in the center of my forehead, courtesy of the metal desk in my office. Upon which I banged the shit out of my poor face as I bent to pick up my purse.
What a way to end the day.
Ummmmm...
So this is probably nothing, but I’m still uncomfortable:
The majority partner just called the restaurant to speak to the managing partner, who isn’t in.
His schedule says 9:30, but it did yesterday as well, and he wasn’t in. And we’d be overstaffed if he were, which the majority partner acknowledged.
But then he asked me to fax this week’s schedule to him.

I’m suddenly struck by the fact that I’ve had this blog for nearly 4 years now. That’s in my top 5 longest anything.
I am almost certain that one of my Co-managers is on OSHA’s most wanted list.
Case in point- currently there is a full-sized ladder blocking a major traffic area of the restaurant, complete with still cord snaking it’s way across the floor.
Fingers crossed, y’all…
I’m starting to suspect that there’s a conspiracy amongst my Co-workers to keep me from ever, EVER finishing a sentence.
I get it, I’m verbose.
My neighborhood makes me feel tall.
The Asian girls who live across the hall from me are so tiny that I feel like a giant next to them. It’s fun.
And today I had to duck in order not to hit my head on a sign.
I really hope this stuff isn’t racist, it’s not my intention. These are just observations.
I apparently just sat a real housewife of NYC.
I’m so bad at recognizing folks.
And I’m so glad.
Is it too much to ask that the wind be at my BACK?
Today it was dangerous on the train, I counted at least there exchanges of harsh words that were seconds from coming to blows. Ugh, hell is indeed other people.
WatchThis is not who I am. Also im not drunk, I just have jellybeans in my mouth. this is an attempt on the life of my vanity.
I just had some sort of pork sandwich that came on what may have been pancakes…
Sometimes life is so beautiful.
I’m constantly amazed at how fucking PUSHY New Yorkers can be. Anyone behaving in such a way would be considered a buffoon back home. It almost always gets my back up, and earns an icy glare from me.
Brunch patrons are the absolute worst, but my staff gives them a run for their money.
Bunch of goddamn ASSHOLES.
The Geico commercial with the panther hits wwaaaaay too close to home.
My cat is a bully and I’m a sucker.
I feel like an honest-to-god grownup
Last night I received the actual proposal, with the ring and everything… There was even a serenade, which made me cry like a girl. I feel so happy.

Heaven knows I'm miserable now.
I have just worked 10-hour shifts for the last 6 days with an hour commute on each end. To top it off, yesterday after I got off at 7, I had to hang around until 10 in order to participate in our staff meeting, where we voiced our concerns to the serving staff.
I had to speak, which normally wouldn’t be much of an issue. However, I have also had some sort of “crick” in my neck...
yo' mama got snakeskin teeth
funniest thing about today
was the raggedy, toothless (and probably homeless?) old woman pushing her shopping cart down the sidewalk in front of my job, playing ‘Good Times’ on her boom box.
Sometimes NY makes me smile instead of cringe.
