So here I am again, blogging about my job. It's about all I have time to think about lately.
Ones
Really short thought here. I make tips which is fantastic. But I'm sitting here with a hundred and twelve dollars in ONES. What the hell am I going to do with that? Every day I come home with a fistful of thirty or so one dollar bills and I can't help but think someones going to mistake me for a stripper one day and ask me what the price is for a "private show".
Sugar Packets
I'm losing track of time. I have no idea how many days I've worked because it all seems to swirl together. I'm also worse at time than I used to be, which is saying something. Give me six watches and put Big Ben in my living room and I still might wonder what time it is. Point being, I keep 8 sugar packets in my pocket when I work. And for every hour that goes by I toss one into the trash. (If I'm really bored I'll start going by the half hour and have half sugar packets). The point here is that if I ever want to know how long I have left I pull out my sugar packets and count them. Oh, three sugar packets to go!
Thick Goo
Ranch, BBQ sauce, coleslaw, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, gravy, butter, oil, that pink dressing, that orange dressing, A1, honey, cream, syrup... My point is: Why is the human race so fascinated with thick gooey substances?

I love this post.
The sugar packet thing is pure GENIUS! Which reminds me of when I worked at Snowie I'd get SO bored I'd come with a phrase (Let's pretend it's 'I love cats'). ANYWAYS, with my phrase I'd watch license plates go by and if it had one of the letters in my phrase I'd fill it in... and I'd do this until my phrase was complete. xD
And just.. hahaha @ gooey substances.
One more thing, I thought you should know I actually have your blog saved on my favorites (I have for months now). It's so I don't forget to check it. :)
I love your stories! You're so innovative. The sugar packet thing is great, and she probably won't see this, but lmmfao @ rachel's game! :D
$112 outside of your income? That's fucking AWESOME.
Aww thanks guys! And that's an awesome game Rachel. I'll have to think of one like it for my job.
I used to bus. Yes, you get stripper comments or more often people ask you if you valet. As to what to do with the ones? Take them to the bank or spend those puppies! Nothing better than whipping out a fat roll of ones.
What he said. :] You can always take the money to a local casino. They might card you, but last time I checked, changing ones wasn't illegal... Good game, by the way. I used to have something slightly different: I'd set up "checkpoints" during my shift - times that would have numerical significance of some sort. For example, 4:11, 4:20, 7:11, 9:11, 4:04, 6:16, 5:55, etc. Waiting for the next checkpoint in time just might have preserved my sanity. %)
