| I think everyone should be a waiter/waitress at least once in their lives. You learn a lot about other people and how to treat other people because you see how crappy some people can be.
I've had people totally disregard my presence, apparently pretending their plates and trash magically disappear and their cups are never-ending fountains of Pepsi. Some don't even respond when I ask them about refills and stuff- they either continue talking while I feel slightly awkward standing there, or just stuff their cups in my face without a glance. Simple human courtesy... a little "please" and "thank you" would suffice.
I've had people who treat me like a slave, expecting me to wait on them hand and foot, despite the fact that I have 15 other tables. Its true that I'm being paid(though not much) to serve them, but I'm not being paid to be their servant.
I've had people who leave a big mess and not a single tip. Those people bug me the most. Waitresses don't get paid much... our earnings are based on tip. My daily wage is $10 for an 11 hour workday. I hate that I put in so much effort on a table, taking their plates, refilling their drinks, cleaning their mess... and they leave nothing.
The worse are moms with babies who go- *giggle* *giggle* oops, we made a big mess *giggle* *giggle*
I just want to be like-*giggle* clean it up then *giggle*
I think everyone should work in the service industry sometime in his/her life. You'll learn what its like to be treated like crap and in turn, be cautious of how you treat other people.

| ...til death do us part.Wedding invitations....... seems like everywhere I look, someone I know is getting married.
Have I really reached that stage of life already? Time seems to be passing by so fast. Its seems just yesterday that life was about sleep-overs and boy bands.
Seeing people vowing to spend their lives together puts me in a wedding mood, too.
Haha, but first I need to graduate and find a job.  | | |
| My feelings lately....
.... so hard to describe.
The whole reason why I chose to come to Marion, Illinois was to try and develop a relationship with my dad. I'm pretty sure that's one of the reasons why he asked me to come work at his restaurant, too. That being said, its still very awkward.
He acts as if I'm seven years old and need to be protected and coddled. On one hand, I'm happy to be getting the attention and affection from him that I never got. On the other hand, I can't help but think, so what. All these years, I've done fine taking care of myself without my mom and dad. I've gotten used to it. To suddenly be in the same place with my dad makes me feel a little unnatural.
I remember when I was little I was so terrified of my dad, I would hide behind my grandpa just to avoid being seen by him. Now I kind of feel sorry for him. I can feel my dad is lonely. I know he worries about his children. I know he realizes that his children are like strangers to him. I also know that he is looking back on the past and trying to have a relationship for the future. All these years, he didn't give a shit and all of a sudden, all his children have continued on with their lives and even starting their own families.
My dad has kind of given up on my brother and sister because they're both married and have a family, but that means all his focus is on me. I can feel the expectations and the hope, and it just puts so much pressure on me. I don't want to disappoint him. I don't want to crush his expectations. At the same time, what gives him a right to expect anything from me. Where was he these 20 years? Ever since I was little, I wanted to please him and try to have him love me. Now that I'm all grown up and have gotten over the fact that I come from a dysfunctional family, in comes my dad trying to be a family again. The whole situation makes me confused and tired. | | |
