Server Chronicles: She’s being nice again

Do you see this magical picture?

DO YOU?!

Yes, that is me.

That is a portrait of me drawn by a guest I had last Thursday night.

The dark lipstick (obviously), the slightly messy braids, and my ear sticking out, are all perfect.

 

I have had a rough few weeks in my life, and going to work to deal with people, isn’t the easiest thing.

Especially when you read about the people I have to deal with.

But then, there are people like this.

She drew this, and had it propped on the table with my tip tucked in it.

 

To draw something like this, it would have taken me hours and it still would have been terrible, and she whipped it up while eating cheesecake.

Is she a wizard?

It really made my night, and I told her that, but I hope she knows.

Sometimes strangers make the biggest impression on you, at least I think so.

Why would a stranger be nice to me, especially when I am just serving their food?

 

Either way, she made my night easier, and I keep it in my server book to show it off and remind myself that there are good people out there.

 

I hope she somehow sees this and sees that I appreciated it.

 

I work very hard, and I find I do get kind rewards that aren’t just money, and it makes it worth it.

 

I know I recently posted about some good things in the biz, but this needed to be shown.

Don’t worry; the sass will be back next week.

Derek occasionally gets homework assignments from daycare. It mostly consists of him learning how to trace his own name, and some very simple math problems – simple if you’re way above the age of 4, that it is. But it’s homework nonetheless. And we want Derek to know the importance of school, especially since he’ll … MORE>>

Derek has decided he wants to be a firefighter when he gets older. Keep in mind he’s 4 and he can’t decide what color pajamas he wants to wear to bed. So that may change. But the good thing is I have used this to our advantage. Derek wants to grow and big to become … MORE>>

Apparently, today is National Beer Day. April 7th is the celebration of when beer became legal again in the United States after the Cullen-Harrison Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt on March 23, 1933. Sounds like it may have caught on as National Beer Day in 2009, when Justin Smith of Richmond, … MORE>>
Thanks to the city of Sarasota, Lido Beach just got a bright new addition: a cerulean marker displaying how high sea levels are projected to rise in the next 100 years. Here’s the thing–the facts are scary. We said it. To name just a few: In less than 15 years, by 2030, sea levels are … MORE>>
I hate eggs. Hate them. You can scramble them, poach them, make them sunny side up, and then you can go ahead and stuff yourself because I want nothing to do with them. I have a hard time watching people eat eggs. I liked French toast until someone told me it was nothing more than … MORE>>

It’s rare to see eight female filmmakers lined up in a row discussing their short film and documentary work–mostly because it’s rare to see eight women filmmakers together in one room at all. But that’s exactly what we saw Saturday evening at the reception for the 18th annual Through Women’s Eyes Film Festival, highlighting women … MORE>>
Tomorrow is April Fools’ Day. I’m sure social media will be a minefield of shenanigans. There are some do’s and don’ts to follow. Do: Make your prank harmless. Don’t: Trust anyone. Good luck. MORE>>
