My cush office job ends today.
It was a temporary gig which unfortunately ends today and then I'll just be doing full time waitressing. I won't be able to post as much, but maybe I'll have a day off here or there, which I will undoubtedly use to post here on DU. Ah the cycle continues. Either way it's been real and I'll see all you lovelies later I'm sure.

5. No kidding
Waitressing will definitely help in the not 'taking everything so personal' department. It's a great bar/restaurant to work for and the staff is really nice.

:hug:

7. That's important.
And I think working in a restaurant w/ a bar is the way to go -- bigger tips than a regular place, but not just a bar scene. I always made the best friends in those places & even though I have a full-time office job, I miss waitressing sometimes. As much as I hated it, sometimes I'd like to go back to it.

I'm sure you already know this, but don't let asshole customers get to you. I am a FIRM believer that the customer is NOT always right. :)

11. I thought about that.
I haven't been at my desk all morning because I've been making the rounds and saying good bye to everyone. It's a nice thing to do especially in politics. I don't know if I'll come back to CT or the political bubble for that matter, but it's nice to leave on a good note in case things fall through. Everyone who I talk to is really happy for me and all the developments. I'm really very lucky.

15. I know it's a bummer.
I was just getting the lurking thing out of my system.

Now I actually have to run around and do stuff and have people yell at me to make money like the rest of them. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
