I Got a JOb and HOLY COW!

I went to follow up on a hostess position on Wednesday (New Years Eve). The manager said, “Can you start tonight?”. With a wicked big smile I said “Of course, I’d love to.” Not. But, I did. New Year’s is overrated anyhow. So, I was ahostess for two nights and was promoted to waitress at the end of day 2. I’ll do 3 days of each for a while.

Well, tonight I served tables and let me tell you if I don’t lose weight doing this job then I must have a thyroid problem. Can you say whoa? It’s a big place, with multiple floors and plates full of heavy BBQ food – ribs, whole fish (ick), etc.

Full time is 6 days per week, 4pm till midnight. For not waitressing in 10 years, I ran my tail off like a pro. My dawgs are barking, loud. Yes, Mama, I´ll watch the boonyons. And remember, it’s hot here. My legs were slippery with sweat.

And get this, I served tables in Spanish. Yes, Spanish. I can’t even speak Spanish!

Ok and the kicker…I made 6 dollars. Reality check. These people work hard here. A perk however, they give us dinner for less than two bucks and I got free BBQ ribs to boot.

Good time to mention that I’ll also be working two other jobs – 1 night a week at the ladies bar and 2 days a week at the beach. Let the fun begin and cross your fingers it all adds up to rent and health insurance.
