to tide you over...

hello and goodbye.

i'm leaving for a whole week!! i'll miss cosi, sorta. i'll miss my regulars, sorta. i'll totally miss my friends who come in for sure. and i'll miss my co-workers for sure. but man oh man i cannot wait to go home and spend some t-i-m-e with my family. so for those of you who i don't see before i leave... um, i'll just, ya know, see you soon. i'm not moving for pete's sake. think of pete!

tonight at work was suuuuper busy. stupid busy, i would say. vincent and i just kept running around, laughing and saying how we didn't know what was going on. because we didn't. after 5, we turn into a sit-down/"real" restaurant. ha. joke and a half. it's only a fake real restaurant. we don't have an actual host. we don't have sections. we barely have a waitstaff. so when things go a little crazy, then things get a little confusing. when things go really crazy, ay yi. tonight, i had no idea who my tables were, what the table numbers were, or what tab was open and what wasn't. i just waited for mario to yell out, "katie! order up!" and then i'd just sort of remember who had ordered it and then i brought it to whose table i guessed it was. because i sure as hell didn't remember what tables were even mine let alone if they'd gotten their food yet or not. and by the time things were really swinging, i just took whatever table hadn't been gotten to yet. the question, "is that your table?" was completely irrelevant. i sat 2 women, and then couldn't remember if i was waiting on them or not. it turns out i kinda stole them from vincent. oops.

and then i ran my checkout at the end of the night without putting in a $5 tip, which means there wasn't any way for me to get that money since my checkout was done. i spent the next 20 minutes saying "fuck" quite, quite loudly. i believe there was feet stomping, i'm not positive.

love, kate
