The thing about this job is that even when I’m busy doing stuff, my brain is in no way engaged. At least at the bar I had to remember orders and keep track of things - here the hardest thing to remember is to give the receptionist her breaks exactly on time (she gets grouchy if I’m early, and grouchier if I’m late, so I have to time it so I walk up to her desk at EXACTLY 10:30, 12:00 and 3:30. It’s stupid.) I keep telling my boss that once I’m done cleaning up the messes left by the retarded monkey who used to have my job, she better have some projects for me, because otherwise I’ll go insane. I don’t think she fully believes me yet. Note the yet. She will… I really don’t know how people do this year after year after year. Today I had my benefits meeting - explaining all the great things I get (medical, dental, 401K, all those things I thought I’d never have again) and how my matching contributions won’t be vested for 2 years (and I must have gotten a look of disbelief on my face because they all looked at me like - you WILL be here in two years, right??? and I had to be all - sure, of course! When really my head exploded at the thought of doing this for years! Ha!) Anyway, yesterday I went and dropped off a second round of resumes at the bars I want to work at (it’s been a while since round 1) I figure I’ll keep doing that until someone breaks down and hires me. :) Then maybe I can have my sanity back. (And not feel so damn poor - I make less than HALF of what I made at the bar now! It’s painful!)
