I work a double tomorrow (Wednesday), Sunday, and I work Friday night. I'm pretty stoked, especially because it means that I got four days off this week. We'll see how well this does for my income.
I worked doubles on Saturday and Sunday this past week, not scheduled. I was very happy-go-lucky and ready to go until about 4 or 5pm on Sunday. I don't know why, but my attitude completely did a 180. I went from being very happy to downright angry at everything and everyone. It didn't help the fact that a regular who comes in all the time sat in my section. This guy thinks his shit doesn't stink. Whatever, that's who he is. So after a while his all-knowing attitude really gets to me and I just walk away.
Finally it all came to a boil when a girl makes coffee and walks away to do other work. Somehow, the coffee fell off the wait station and burned my leg; not too bad, but just enough to hurt me. So I just started to cry. Haha, typical of me. I went to the back to redo my makeup (with the help of some of my lovely girls <3) and I was back to my happy self. . . . probably helped that we were completely dead Sunday night. I have the Jets/Dolphins game to thank for that. :)
Oh! And I finally got bangs!! Everyone at work has them and I've been dying to get them for forever but I was too chicken. Well, they're not exactly how I wanted them done, but they work for now. I will post a pic sometime soon.
So, there's also the Jonathan situation. Sunday afternoon I went to check my phone and I see a skype notification and a new email. Well there are only a handful of people that skype me lately, and I can safely eliminate about half of them. So I open it and it's from Jonathan. He had emailed me because he thought I was ignoring him. So anyway, we talked later that night (or technically morning) and we've talked everyday since. Today we talked about our breakup and everything that has happened. I'll save that convo for another day because it was definitely a long convo.
I've gotta go finish some homework. I'm praying that Thursday I'll be out and about with a girl from work. I haven't gone out since I've moved here. Woohoo!!

It was worth it in the end
I've gotta make this a quick post because I need to finish up my homework. I work tomorrow night, Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon (helloooooo NFL!!). I've had the past two days off which is amazing! I went and blew all of my money yesterday on duct tape for my server's book, Bare Minerals face makeup, sushi for lunch, a new haircut, patches for my jeans, aaaaannnnddd I think that's it. Oh! I got inserts for my bra but they don't work so I'm taking them back. I'll just wear two bras to work.
My big reason for updating?? Guess who emailed me this afternoon. Jonathan. His email was pretty short but it talked about how he's been hearing how I've been doing through his grandmother (who is my facebook friend. I love her!). He said he has been scared to write the email for some time and he wants to hear from me. I don't know what to feel. I feel angry that he waited this long to write me and apologize. I'm sad that everything we've ever worked for between us had fallen apart and I'm left with nothing but a huge hole in my heart that I work everyday to fix. I want to not write back and put him through the hell I went though, but I still want to be his friend and be there for him.
I am so incredibly happy he wrote me though. Nothing but a friendship will happen from this. I won't let anything else happen otherwise. I'll give it a day or so and write back afterwards.

It's been a long time
I've been so incredibly busy with work that my blog updating has suffered! :( Work has been very interesting. Let's see what I remember and what I can post right now.
Today we got our pink scooter back. What does this mean? It means I get to ride around the entire restaurant (and the parking lot) on a pink scooter and entertain people. It actually goes pretty fast too for how little it is. I got a picture of me on it that I made my facebook picture and the scooter is just so damn cute!! I want one for myself to ride around here at the apartment.
I had two young couples come in today. Here's where it gets rather interesting. The first thing the girl says to me when I come to the table is, "Do you know who this is in this picture?" and she pointed to a framed photo on the wall. Of course, I have no idea. She says, "That's me." .. . . . ummm ok? Great? What do you want, a cookie? So time goes on and they all want to buy alcohol. I ask for ID and they all "lost their wallets" but they know the manager. Our manager comes over and says yes, he knows the girl but if they don't have their ID's, they don't get alcohol. So this pissed them off even more. Finally, I bring their food and walk away for about 10 minutes. They polish off their food in this time and then get angry I wasn't over there fast enough to get their check and to-go box. All in all, I made 2 dollars from them. Yay! >:(
We got jerseys to wear on Sunday and Monday and they don't fit me AT ALL!! They're too big, especially in the chest area. I've gotta go out and buy stuff to make my boobs pushed up a little more, even with my Victoria's Secret Bombshell bra. But the jerseys are adorable.
We had our image class yesterday and it basically taught us how to be pretty and what to do to up our sales and get better tips. Note to self: get mints to give to people when they get their check, decorate to-go boxes, and play games. Doesn't seem too hard, I think. I'll have to run to Wally World later this week to pick up mints. Plus, it got me inspired to FINALLY get my hair cut this week with sideswept bangs. I can't wait to see how they'll look on me!!
Oh!! And may I just say here how amazing the girls I work with are? I seriously love them. <3
Well, hopefully I won't have as long between updates.

New Blog
Alright! So I finally decided I'm going to go with my adventures and stuff on being a Hooter's Girl. I figure it's a hell of a lot more interesting than just writing about my dating life.
Today was absolutely dead. I knew it would be, considering it was Labor Day. Everyone's probably out on their boats, grilling out on their patios, and having a good day off. I only made about 20 dollars, but I only had one table. They were just driving through on their Harleys. I was pretty nervous because I have never taken a table of more than 8 people before and they were a table of 11. I didn't mess up at all, although I think I'm pretty dumb when it comes to getting change and handling cash. I completely shut down when it comes to that. I just wish everyone in the world paid with debit card . . . or at least pay with exact change or something.
The Harley people were from Tampa, so a few of the people actually recognized me from where I worked before. It was really cool and showed just how small the world really is. I was able to really joke and laugh with them and it made me feel a lot more comfortable about working here. Of course, I still get that anxious feeling when a table sits with me, but once I get to them, it's gone and I see it's just another chance to prove myself. I can't wait for us to get our Hooters jerseys for football season. We have drink specials now, all kinds of food specials, and Fantasy Football. It's a lot to remember, but I'll bet it will keep us busy for the next few months. Woohoo!!
I've gotta dress up for Halloween. I don't know what I want to be, but I know I FINALLY get to be something sexy. No more kids costumes, no silly costumes, none of that. I have to spend some money and look good this year. I'll keep you updated on what I decide. I will keep a list in my agenda though of what I'm potentially interested in.
That's all I have for now. I'm sure I'll have a lot more stories later!

Changing Angles
Hey everyone!! Long time no write. Well, this week has been hectic to say the least. I started work, I've been studying all week for my test that I just took (got a B, woohoo!!), and I'm OFFICIALLY all settled. Now for the details and all that stuff of my life.
I didn't get the job in Charlotte. Maybe if another position opens up, I'll be able to get it. I'm gonna be honest though, I really don't care that I didn't get this position. This job at Hooters is amazing. I get to make my own schedule, I will be making more than enough money, and the girls are (for the most part) nothing short of amazing. I feel self-conscious at first when I put my uniform on because I don't have the boobs or the totally flat stomach that I want, but once I really get into it, I feel fine. Also, we get free memberships to the gym, so I'm totally taking advantage of that. I officially start tomorrow on my own since the past three days I've been training. I'm pretty nervous but I guess in a good way. Unfortunately, I cannot post pics of me in my uniform or anything because it's against company policy unless it's taken at an event or by an official cameraman or something like that. Maybe one day I'll get pictures or something, but who knows ;) I also may get the chance one day down the road to go overseas, be involved in charities, all that good stuff.
I'm also doing pretty well in school. Granted, it's only been two weeks since school has started, but I'm almost at an A so that's a big yay for me. I still have one other class that will start up in a couple of weeks and I need to get ahead as much as possible in this class now. I'm very proud of myself in the fact I've been keeping up with this bullshit of a difficult class. No joke, this class is so hard.
My mommy's coming up here in about two weeks and finally I'll have a girl's opinion on my makeup and stuff. I have no idea wtf to do when it comes to makeup, but she knows what looks good on me and what doesn't. Plus, if I get bored and my dad's not home, she'll be there. Hopefully the Hooters girls and I will become closer though and I'll have friends.
Alright ladies, a big sort of question/update for this blog. I'm really thinking I should change the angle I'm going with because I'm not able to date right now, I'm just taking the love thing with a grain of salt (especially with everything that has happened to me with the ex and stuff like that), and I don't want to bore anyone who actually reads this. Not that anyone does.
So, I might actually change my angle to be about me being a Hooters Girl and the day to day aspects of working there, the men who come in, the girls I work with, and maybe . . . just MAYBE, I'll meet a guy there. Besides, it may just be a hell of a lot more interesting than the crap I've been putting up here since I started this.
So what do you all think?
