Pre-Vacay Vibes

Mood:

Listening to: Rammstein’s Du Hast

I should have requested today off but oh well. Mum and I are headed to the beach tomorrow. I’m so excited! I love the ocean and being on the coast. I’d live there if I could. It’s a sleepy town otherwise I would have relocated sooner. Work took forever! I had one table until about three o’clock. Then, an explosion of people occurred and all of sudden, every table was sat. My notecard system had turned out really awesome. I have a laminated notecard for each wine that I’ve encountered. Each card has notes about the flavor, the process, facts about it. When people see them, they’re very impressed. I love doing that kind of shit, overachieving and impressing people. Today, one table purchased thirteen bottles of wine from me. Another table had me access the wine library for a 2012 vintage edition of a Pinot noir, that was $125 bottle of wine I sold. It was a good day, just long. I like this job because even in the chaotic times, it’s not like other server jobs that I’ve had before. Like Red Robin. Mum and I sit back and reminisce on the good old days of the weekend burger madness. We both have fancy, elevated server jobs now but we certainly started from the bottom. Denny’s to be precise. Both of us.

I was told that I have an “old money” laugh which made me laugh even more. It’s hard to describe but I do know performers in high school loved having me in the audience. It’s like I was letting the audience know when to laugh. It’s a hearty laugh and genuine.
