My feet hurt

Today my pointless lunch shift turned into a double shift. Lunch shifts are pointless for me because its a 45 min drive to work in traffic, usually I make $40 on a lunch and that fills my gas tank. But today one of my team members forgot to ask off for a wedding and needed it covered. I don't want to be at this place any more so it took some begging and a bribe: he paid me $10 to take the shift.

There was a bunch of parties today. I was on three of them! Everyone of my guests seemed to love me today though. Except for one table this morning: I felt so bad for the kid they dragged in with them! This lady was so bitchy she didn't like the price of the meal, which I told her ahead of time, and she wanted to speak to a manager... I solved the problem myself, but when I stopped by to see how they were doing the man was lecturing the kid about going to college. Granted, the kid was probably in high school and that's the time he should be thinking about it, I wouldn't waste my money on it if I could do it again. I wanted to take him to another table to eat and just be in peace!

The way they were seating us tonight was frustrating, like they didn't know how to do the damn job. There was a party of 8 ladies celebrating a couple of birthdays that I was on and as we're getting the cake out they seat me another 8 top to take by myself! Luckily I had an awesome service partner tonight who was able to close the party out for us while I started my next one. (We were a great team tonight!) My party loved me since he did that and I was able to turn my focus to my other party. 
Apparently the gm has enlisted some of the trainers to try and bring up the the attitude at this restaurant though they've been getting some pretty harsh attitude back about it. I'm glad she's trying to do something! I still can't wait to get into my new restaurant.

Oh it was so nice to walk out those doors tonight! While warm and windy, it felt like freedom! The moon behind the palm trees was a nice visual to remind me that I moved to paradise.

I know this is horrible quality (I took it with my cell phone) but it gets the idea a cross:
palm trees with the moon shining though the clouds behind them.
