doomed: the diary of an hourly partner

job 3, month 2

i think i just quit bennigan's. i went into work today after spending the whole week thinking that no i was not going to work again. not at benny's, anyway. i hate it there. it just gets too busy and the people that work there are all like one big clique. it's not welcoming, and i hate that i was so proud of myself for being able to finally carry a big, full tray with one hand, balancing it only on my shoulder. i went to college. i worked in LA. i am not a waitress.

so when i went in tonight, i was "on deck." basically, they didn't really need me, but if someone didn't show up for their shift, i would take their section. or if someone was late, i could bump them. needless to say, i was ecstatic. now i could go in, get my check, walk out, and never see anyone again. unfortunately i'm honest so i asked how long i should stick around. i definitely could have bumped one girl who was for sure going to be late, but i didn't want to. i had 20 minutes before it was 5 and i went over to cosi to think. i should have stayed at benny's until everyone had shown up for their shift and was accounted for. but i didn't. i just went home.

i'm nervous. i'm not one to do this. but i have to. i went to college!
