I could listen to this song constantly! lol. Last night was a lot of fun. I got some of my first Sin City posts in and Tom and I amused Kim with our craziness. We danced and sang Sex Bomb and then sang Numa Numa. Then we decided to dance to Numa Numa and wake Cosh up at 2 am, so we did.
Then Tom wanted to see what I meant by "gaggle of hookers". Generally there is about ten or twelve around on this one street corner every night so finally we go so that I can show him and there was like 2.
Also I would like to announce to those of my readers who keep up with my journal that I will be making a new "friends only" journal. If you want to be added then reply to this entry and then I will make my next post with the new journal name.
Adios amigos |

Who's sick? That would be me. Strep throat again. The only thing I need to go to the doctor for now is a prescription. I've had Strep so much I know when I'm going to get it...sad no? And guess what else...I had to work last night, regardless of the fact that I had Strep Throat. Ok I can see not wanting to have only 4 servers on the floor on a Saturday night, but the very least they could have done was try and call someone.
I also had to work my 6 hour shift without a break, whereas the rest of the staff got theirs. Not only that but I had a group of 12 people come in that they dumped on me. I couldnt handle a group of twelve on a good day, let alone when my throat is damn near swollen shut.
Good night Seattle. |

Only two more nights to go and I can say goodbye to that shithole forever. Let me add a little insight to what these people have to deal with day in and day out...
1. The employees' changing area is an unkept bathroom in the back of the kitchen that is more often than not filled with flies. It smells. Its dirty. Its gross.
2. We have no place to sit down on breaks. We have to sit in a section of the restaurant that is not occupied by customers. If even one person is in that section, we cant sit there. This is kind of redundant anyhow considering there are hidden cameras all over the place to make sure we arent sitting down. The managers always get grilled when Kamal reviews the tapes to see that we had been sitting for a lengthy period of time. Its called a BREAK fucker! Which we rarely get if its busy. Try having more staff on so that we can get what we are legally entitled to!
3. The place itself is unsanitary. The bricks on the walls are caked with a very thick, and very black dust. This goes unnoticed however because its high enough to be out of sight and is disguised by the black mortar. Not only that but the servers often pick off of a customer's plate. Or worse...(example) Greek Souvlaki is served on salad. I have seen a server take the souvlaki off the plate, put it on the counter and then on to the salad. Not touching the stick mind you, touching the chicken, with likely unwashed hands.
4. We are treated like dirt from customers and owners alike. The owners employ cheap labour from people who do as they please during their shifts, listen to nobody and dont speak a word of Goddamn english. In Canada, minimum wage is $7.40/h. Severs however, make $6.50 because we get tips. People should get it through their heads that tips arent guaranteed. Minimum wage should be minimum wage. End of story.
Now you know. Knowledge is power. |

I have been forced to endure many things in my life. But nothing, and I mean nothing can compare to what I have just been through. My night at work last night can only be described as pure and complete hell. The night was so bad in fact that even thinking about the shit I and my co-workers were put through makes me writhe and I cant even bring myself to write it down. I walked home, in the fucking daylight reeking of unbridled hatred for everything in existence. Not even my worst day at Stream made me this angry.
Never again will I allow myself to go through that bullshit. If it even looks like it is going to get that bad, I will quit on the fucking spot. I will grab my shit, and punch out. They can keep my tips, they can even keep my paycheck I dont even fucking care. Its not worth the aggravation. Kamal can stick a chainsaw up his ass for all I fucking care. I would like to see him try and stop me. Its already established that I'm quitting that bullshit job, as soon as I know I'm getting hired somewhere else, I'm gone. No two weeks notice, I wont even say boo. I'm gone, end of story. On top of which I will be writing the Business Bureau to tell them what a rat-trap of a restaurant that mother fucker owns. Hopefully they will send someone to see the terrible conditions we have to work in and do something about it.
Thank you Seattle and good night.
PS. Your fucking right I swore!!!! |

So not only did I sleep away my only day off yesterday, but I missed out on getting groceries and laundry. That pisses me off. They didnt have the courtesy to wake me up and let me know that they were getting groceries. I am also on a very very tight budget now. I have to make sure my credit card gets paid off this month and I also have to get groceries and deposit my paychecks.
I really need a better job. I hate to say it, but I might need to go the call centre route. Now all I have to do is find one. |

Ok so the backstory to this tale begins with a prostitute who comes into the restauraunt every night, mostly to use the bathroom but she usually gets a hot chocolate and some sort of sammich throughout the course of the night. Well she was sitting down and waiting for her food, and we were completely dead so we started talking....
Now earlier in the night, a transvestite and some guy came in and got only coffee and never ordered any food. Well apparently this tranny had started shit and was throwing things at Tim (one of the managers) and Mo (The chef). This I did not know at the time and neither did Kush (one of the managers).
So she decides she's going to start shit again. Well I'll be damned if this prostitute doesnt start yelling at her, sticking up for us waiters and drags the bitch out into the street and wails on her ass. It was quite possibly one of the greatest things I have seen since I have been in this city.

So Aaron got the job. Which is great, now there is no worrying going on. A really slow night at work last night. I only made about 20 bucks in tips but at least its better than nothing. I also got to leave an hour early. I also had an engaging conversation with a prostitute who came into the restauraunt. It was odd and unexpected. I'm tired now and I wish I could go to sleep but I just cant seem to fall asleep.
I want to go to the Eaton's Centre to check out the EB there. I went past it but never went in. Sadly, it doesnt look as good as the one in Belleville. It's smaller and doesnt look to have as good of a selection. However, I'm a lazy bitch.
Mike out. |

And here I sit taking refuge in my room as Jocelyn, Meg, Cosh and Aaron have returned from watching Les Miserables. Boy, that would have been good to see wouldnt it? Oh well. Those are the breaks I guess. Now all I have to do is find a show Cosh and Aaron really want to see, and Tom and I will take someone to them and leave Cosh and Aaron behind. I'm a terribly bitter person and I love it. |

Why is it I'm only hit on by men,
Me: Can I get you anything else?
Him: Just your love dear.
Or harassed working women...
Her: You want a girl dont you? I can tell the future. I'm a gypsy.
Not my day.
And yes Tom, he was good looking.
Also, I am assuming that the Oct 28th release date for Rosenrot was purely European...considering neither HMV or Sam's had them, or even knew it was coming out for that matter. Fuck them right to hell! Hell I say! |

So I survived my shift. Now I get to stay up all night again so that I will be able to adjust to working at midnight tomorrow. It was kind of cool walking home this morning. There was nobody out except a few lingering hookers. I think I could get used to working nights. Fairly steady but not busy, and really good tips. I worked with Dilo and Kush who are quite funny and gave me praise for doing so well on my first night. Today I met Shabannah and we talked about Cosh. She said he needs to get laid. I laughed. All in all, good day.
Cheers |
