They Make Me Feel Wanted

 My customers. I have some of the best in the world I am certain. Ive had regulars everywhere I have waited tables, but having been at Jims SO long I have REALLY REALLY regulars. Even people who have not come in over a year, remember me and I them, so they feel regular even when they aren't really anymore! :)

 So many times Tim has told me that if I were to quit "no one" would come in anymore... I just laugh him off. I mean yes, there are people who love seeing me there, and I know that, but I am not the ONLY reason they are there, pizza, salad AND a drink for 6.00 thats another top reason!

 Today though this couple comes in. They normally ask where I am when they come. Today was no different. When they were about to leave, the man called me over, and told me he just HAD to tell me something, even though I was probably to busy to hear it (I am NEVER too busy to hear about myself being great)

 He said the past few times they had been in, I had been off work (must of been on the Mondays I was off all summer) Anyway he said he didn't know what it was, but the place just "Falls apart" when I am not there. He said they got decent service and the servers were doing a good job... but that things were late, and nothing seemed the same... "I don't know how but when your here you just hold this place together" his wife said!!! He said almost to the point where he thought he  needed to call and be sure I was working before they came in. I laughed and told them about what Tim had said about no one coming in if I was not there... He raised his eyebrows he was like well, we would certainly consider other options first!

 I feel so wanted, and loved and appreciated. That is really what its about. I love my job because some way some how, even though just serving pizza, and drinks and making a beautiful salad bar... I am making people happy and that, is great! :)

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 ...
