Is it bad that in my resume I want to put "not sucking at life" as a bullet point under my current and past jobs.....

Grrr...

Why not me. My first love is getting married in a few months. It hurts. I don't even know if I still would like him if I saw him face to face again, but just the thought of the girl that came after me getting the guy.... It just sucks. I know it happens everyday and I'm not the first or the last to have this happen to them but it hurts none the less.
And on an additional note, do I have "sucker" written across my forehead? He calls, we make plans even though we haven't seen each other in months, I work, I call him when I'm out, and nothing.... um hello? Did I miss something here? Didn't we make plans? Yeah, I thought so. So do I ignore him from now on like I've been trying to do or do I call him out on it? Grrr...

Ah a night off...

Even on a day off I do nothing but think about work. Today I ran a bunch of errands, 95% of which were for work and preparing for Valentine's Day. As with many other people in the restaurant business, anyone I date understands that I will not be around for Valentine's Day, my valentine is my job.
I think that every restaurant should be closed for one day during the week. Everyone needs and deserves a break, including the building and equipment. Either way, a day off is a nice break. I always say that I'll go to be early and get up at a decent time when in reality my body is programmed to go to bed around 2 or 3 and wake up around 10 or 11 and then not truly wake up until 1. Maybe next week....
Vacation is tricky as well. Part of me wants to take a few days off and do absolutely nothing. Another part of me wants to take a few days off and go somewhere.... warm.... a beach... and just drink and swim and read and eat. And yet another part of me wants to go home for a few days and just veg out with my mom and my dog and cook for all my family and friends. Ah decisions decisions.... I guess I'll have to decide when I actually get to take some time off, that won't be for a while so I've got some time to decide. For now, it's more of Anthony Bourdain's "Food Porn." Yum.

Good night!

I love when we have a good night - no issues, happy customers, mostly happy servers (I've learned which ones I will never please), happy boss, just over all a good night. But these nights make the bad nights even worse because I know what we're capable of. I hate it when someone complains or isn't happy, again I know I can't please everyone, but I get so aggravated because I know that that's not how we do it! But that is the snapshot that the guest has. Of course hopefully we can turn that around and most of the time we can, but not always. But I have to remember these good nights and remember what we did to make them happen and hopefully multiply that by 365.

p.s. I totally bit it when I was walking to my car at the end of the night... I'm going to be limping tomorrow! No good.

I'm new here...

Obvious, yes I know. This is meant to be more of an outlet for myself than anything else, and if someone wants to read it, then go for it. I'm sure some of you can relate and that's great. Some of you won't be able to relate, and that's great too.
I think I've discovered the worst thing about this already, the backspace key. I re-read what I've typed and that's not what I wanted to do here.... ah the modern journal...
So anyway, this will be about my life in and out of work. Most of it will be about work because that's where I am six days a week, anywhere from 50-70hrs. I work in a restaurant in upstate New York. And that's as far as I'll go with that one... Any names I mention will be changed because there's no point in making anyone mad at me if I don't have to!
