Hello Everyone,
I finally quit Red Lobster yesterday and I am moving out of my apartment tonite. Tommorow I will be leaving for Europe. I have been very busy for the past 2 days just trying to clean my place and take care of last minute stuff. Its too bad that I procrastinated. I still have some cleaning in my apartment.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for this trip and I hope that everything goes smoothly. I will try to update this journal as much as I can.
Bye for now :)
Hello Everyone,
The good news is that I got to rent a car for the next 2 days. The bad news is that I am paying $124 for 2 days. I really got screwed by the charges. But I will be driving this car around town as much as I can because as far as I know, I will not be driving for a VERY long time.
What else ? My printer won't print and I need it for my trip. My laptop is also acting very strange. My plans are not working out that smoothly. But oh well. As long as I make it to Austria and Spain in one piece with my luggage I'll be fine.
I was also supposed to go out with my friend last night, but he ended up working late so I ended up staying home alone with no one to hang out with. I was pissed because I could've gone out with my other friends. I was waiting for a call, but never got one. Whatever. It's not like I actually have any money to go out anyways.
Tommorow is also my last day at Red Lobster. I was hoping to go out and party with my coworkers, but it looks like that may not be happening either.
Well, I better go. I have tons of errands to do. I also have to move all my shit into storage and I am supposed to have sushi with my friend this afternoon. Yay !
Hello Everyone :)
I worked the lunch shift at Red Lobsta today and it was very busy for a while. I made a table wait for a while because I just could not pick it up, and I was told that another server would take it. By the time the other server ended up taking the table, but the people were mad. They ended up just walking out without paying for the food. Assholes. After they did a walk-out they decided to call and complain about the bad service. I mean, I understand why they were pissed. After all they did wait an awful long time. AND I would have been more than happy to reduce their bill or even comp the whole bill. All they had to do was talk to our faces and work something out with us instead of doing a dine-and-dash.
I also had some lady that left me $2 on $60. Bitch. I gave her wonderful service. I think it was so busy today because the high schools are having graduations. I remember this time last year. Most of the people are shitty-ass tippers. We are super-busy doing a lot of work for half the pay.
It stinks not having a car, but I was lucky to have my neighbor take me to work and pick me up. I am just gonna end up renting a car tommorow for a couple of days. I need a car for the weekend. I have a ton of errands to do for my trip.
Last night I went to my favorite Spanish restaurant called Picasso. The food was sooooo delicious. I had shrimp sauteed in garlic and olive oil. I found that place last year on a date. This time I went alone and had the whole place to myself and also got to talk to the owner, whom speaks five languages. I am gonna try and go there again before I leave.
Anyways, the computer lab is closing up and I gotta get outta here.
Hello Everyone,
What can I say ? I oficially am carless. It sucks. I am just glad that it broke down less than a week away from my trip. Basically my cadalidic converter is broken and it would cost about $300 to fix. I was only gonna sell the car for $200. I just gave it to my car mechanic, whom is gonna have it towed to the junkyard. I also canceled my car insurance.
But this kinda stinks because I still have a lot of errands to do, and I know that the bus doesn't reach all locations. Plus renting a car is about $50 a day for me because I am not 25 yet. Haha, by the time I turn 25 I should have a better car and then I probably won't need to rent a car anymore.
I expected to get rid of my car, but not so sudden. I have had that car for over 4 years and has a lot of sentimental value, even though it is physically a piece of shit. To me, that car represented my college years, and now those days are over. I guess it's time for me to move on.
Okay, that's all for now. I better map out a way to the airport so I can rent a car. Bye Bye :)
Hello everyone :)
Guess what ?? My car is on the verge of breaking down. I somehow managed to finish driving my car into the garage last night without having to call the tow truck. But I have so many errands to do, and I also have 3 shifts left at Red Lobster. I think that I might rent a car for a day or 2 to get my stuff done. I would absolutely hate to have to ask anyone for a ride. The sucky thing is that I am supposed to sell my car this weekend. It looks like I am not gonna get a red cent for my car after all. The good news is that at least its breaking down less than a week before I leave.
Last night I went out with my friend Stacey to Chevy's to catch up. We went to high school and college together and caught up and talked about our lives as well as high school memories. We stayed a while after closing and I think the waitress was kinda annoyed with us. She wanted to go home and then I ordered desert. I know how she feels. Hell, I usually stay at LEAST and hour after I take my last table's order most of the time. But oh well. That's waitressing.
I also went to my last belly dance class last night and got a good workout. I just hope that I can continue to bellydance in Spain or at least learn the Flamenco.
Anywho, I better go. My day got off to a late start because I was watching Sex and the City episodes all morning.
Tootles. :)
