geez i am so bored with so much to do (school wise) but i am so burnt out from everything. work, school, life in general. i got maxwell's nails clipped and did my laundry so i was semi-productive. i am trying to think of something intelligent and interesting for ryan to read about.

once upon a time while i was at chili's i had a table of four men. it was about 10:30 on a saturday night after a home game, my ass was being kicked and this table needed EVERYTHING. ketchup, a1, re-fill, napkin, another fork, you name it. they said their steaks were cooked wrong, 2 of the managers had to attend to them, they got 4 free desserts, all while promising to tip me well because i was doing a good job (while getting my ass kicked) for some reason their $100 ticket was reduced to $80 and guess how much they left me.

$4.27.

i lost it.. i just snapped. i had told my manager and other co-workers if they didn't tip i was going to say something to them. so i did, outside of chili's on a saturday night at 11:00, back when you could smoke in the bar.. so of course there is an hour wait, meaning about 20 people standing around. i don't like to admit it because it sounds bad, but i sort of black out when i get mad- but i just said, loudly, "thanks for the tip.. i really appreciate it. i dont know how the fuck i am going to pay my rent with this but thanks anyways. i am worth more than that and you talk shit about tipping me and leave me four fucking dollars. thanks a hell of a lot." and walked back in. i sat in the office and cried for a minute, it was a tough night and they just crawled under my skin. surprisingly i wasn't fired, or even written up. i have been serving for nearly 7 year so, not to brag, but i know what i am doing. but people, please, tip your servers.. we need to pay our bills!!
