My hand to God, except for that last table...

Yesterday went well.

I had a three table station, didn't get yelled at once by the cooks and I got to keep the tips, so I was happy.

Hell, I even got called "perfect" three times by the same chick (Beverly DeAngelo) about the way I did the ordering.
And, Gus, the allegedly "meanest" of the three brothers called me "Sweetie" once.

I even got into the sidework a bit. It's still not too easy to just be able to look around and recognize what goes where and do we need more of it, yet, but I'm gettin' there.

And, I seem to be running in the 15-20% range on tips, so I must be doing okay out there, too. My goal is more to make my tables laugh than almost anything else. If I get that laugh within the first visit to the table or two, I know we're gonna be okay.

Today, no matter how hairy it may get, I will be fine. I know I'm off after this.
Thank God.

On that note, I gotta go get ready to get ready.
Know what I mean?

Ya know... there is this one little thing that, maybe if I get it out here, I can quit worrying about saying there.

I hope.

First off, keep in mind that, multiple times a day, I find myself asking, "Soup or salad?", okay?

Now, here's a joke I read in Playboy once, about 400 years ago, that I now cannot seem to forget...

An elderly couple (just like the ones I wait on, btw) were having difficulties in their sex life.
The old lady just couldn't seem to get the old guy interested.
So, she thought about it and decided to try to spice things up a little.
One night, after he had gotten into bed, she comes springing outta the bathroom in a costume, complete with a cape.
"Super Pussy!!", she announced.
The old man sleepily replied, "I'll take the soup."

Now, can ya just SEE where that could be a potential problem, especially with my "fire before engaging brain fully" mouth is concerned?
Gawd....

I'm outta here.
Peace, people.
