Waitressing =)
I guess my first day at work was quite alright. Just that there are like ten million tables and table numbers! On the deck (beside the river), there are 3 sections, tables 9 to 15, 20 to 25, 30 to 38. Then in the lounge, there's tables 105 to 114, and 120 to 123 at the bar. another don't know how many (maybe 10?) tables in a place I call the "glass house" (I can't remember what's it's actually called), and tables 400 to 405 at the smoking area. That's a total of more than 50 tables! And delivering martini glasses is NO JOKE. I love martinis, but try 3 martini glasses on a tray, then you have to put coasters on the table first, then put one glass on the table at a time, all the time balancing all the martinis! WHY ARE THEY STEMS SO SKINNY! I fear for them everytime I take a step to deliver them to the tables. But it's quite fun too, like when we see the food coming out, we guess what it is and then figure which table it goes to! Imagine lots of spanish names like "patatas bravas", "chorizo fritos", "tostadas pesto. It's actually some potatoes and peppers, some sausages, and baguette with basil.
Oh, and they have the cool clock in and clock out machine thing. And we cannot be late because they'll cut our pay! Like $15 for the first 15 minutes etc, and since I'm not earning alot, it's actually more than 2 hours worth of pay! Haha, going to work later! 7pm to 1am!
AND GUESS WHAT. I just got my driving licence! The hard card one! So much better than the very un-professional and flimsy paper one that I didn't even bother carrying around =) Now, I'm a driver with the REAL driving licence thingy!!! One more card to carry around! (Not great for the wallet but great to have =)
