Who's Your Daddy???

So I am a waitress. For those who might be unaware. I have been a waitress, most of my working life now. I am good at it and most the time I love it, so its what I do. 

  Now when you are a waitress nine times out of ten you do not know the people you are waiting on names. So you say "Sir, would you like a refill on your drink?" "Ma'am, can I take your plate?" "How is everything going today ladies?" Ect ect. Generall names that could apply to pretty much anyone. Right?

 Lately my new thing has been calling parents that come in with a child "mom, and dad" "Ok dad and what do you want on your pizza today?" ect ect. Seemed to have worked out okay and I do not feel like such a broken record. Plus I often get the "DONT CALL ME MA'AM it makes me feel old" so its like what DO I call you???

 Yesterday a group of men came in, in hunting attire. Four of them, then a few moments later, a man and his daughter came and joined them. "Hey dad, what can I get for you and the little one to drink today" I asked. I got their drinks and later when bringing the pizza I said "Dad, you got supreme, right?" Yes he did and so I handed him his pizza.

 Even later yet, I asked them if they needed refills, (dad) seemed to need one but no one was really paying attention to the waitress... "Dad" I said to get his attention "Would you like anymore rootbeer?"

 His little girl, red haired, and full of fire you could just tell, well she'd been giving me the evil eye everytime I went back there, but it was not until this time that she gave me it even more, she looked at me  like I have not been looked at before by a little red haired girl. Just as striaght forward and as sick of me as she could be she said "Quit, calling him DAD."

 I think that, maybe she thought I thought he was MY dad.... Or just me calling him dad was absurd to her, and well, I guess now that I look at it, it kind of is. So no more mom and dad for the customers for me. Back to sir and Ma'am I suppose... Maybe a "dude, and sweetie" now and then :OP~~


 So that is my little daily does of "As the Pizza Turns" for today. I hope you enjoyed it. 

 I also did a little life saving today. Yep. That is right, I donated blood again. This time my iron was high enough to do it!!! Just by the hair of my chin though! 12.5 why is my iron down?? I have always had really good iron levels. Hmmph. Today I got a shirt as a thank you for my donation :) YAY! 


 So who's your mama! :OP

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
