In the past twelve days I’ve worked nine days… here’s what I’ve learned, realized, or happened. There’s one for each day I worked.
1. One of the great men of this generation (homer Simpson) had this to say about karma…
“Karma…what goes around goes around and around…like a bad penny”
Anyway it relates because on Monday a kid had asked me for more soda. I got it for him only to find out later he didn’t drink it he poked holes in his cup so the soda was all over the table. He comes back five minutes later looking for his homework, which he wrote on one of Biba’s kid menus. I didn’t know what the writing was so I threw it away. Karma’s a bitch and it doesn’t discriminate, it’s an equal screwing opportunist.
2. I was slammed one Sunday and this little girl, she couldn’t be more than six years old, tugged on my apron. “Excuse me mister…do you need any help?” that was one of the nicest gestures I’ve ever received. Even though I didn’t take up your offer I really appreciate it. Kids…they will amaze you.
3. A good student will always surpass the teacher, like Adam to John and like myself to Adam. Jonathan needs to be shot.
4. Smile at work, it makes for a better experience.
5. People de-evolve during dinner… if you try to take food from someone who’s hungry…they will bite. Some nights they get so bad I have to do a finger count after work… you’re supposed to have eight and an half fingers, right?
6. You might be the best at what you do but you’re nothing without your co-workers.
7. You can’t skip gears. To explain, busboys are like cars. Everyone has a first gear (but Jonathan, he only has reverse). You can’t go from first to third or you’ll screw up your transmission.
8. If I have a song in my head it’s going to be a great night, no matter what happens.
9. Waiters can’t avoid crappy customers, busboys can. |
