Whee! Today was my first day working as a waitress at El Patio Mexican restaurant in Holland V. Man, i sure didn't realise how much work goes into it... setting the table, greeting customers, ensuring their dining experience is a wonderful one, taking orders, taking cues from the diners about when they're done with their meal so the plates can be cleared.. etc etc. Enuff said, I'm totally drained after a night's work.

Yet I'm glad I'm working hard for something somehow. Pay's peanuts, but I'm learning social skills in the service context, training myself to be sharp and quick-footed and yeah, no room for my signature absent-mindedness(cannot forget orders!). Hahaha... best part of it: I get free dinners cooked by the chef himself. Had a sumptious BEEF BURRITO today! AHhhhh...Glorious mexican food! My little stomach's so contented now =)

Oooo.. did i mention that I dropped a used knife onto a patron's lap today? How very embarrassing. Ahhh.. totally newbie giveaway. Bahh~~
