What a hell day, customers (in a jam packed restaurant) yelling at us after just ten mins, demanding to know where there food is, and complaints galore all bloody futile, had one customer order a taco salad, where in the menu it states "seasoned beef" she calls me over and says she cant eat it because there is seasoning on the beef and wants something else, well at that point in the day I had had more than enough, so I showed her the menu and said Im sorry but you are not going to stiff us the 9 dollars that the meal costs, just because you didnt like it, she went crazy, so I crazied back lol 'felt good" then asked her if she would like it packaged and wanted to order more of the menu, she demanded to see the manager, well of course me and him are in cohoots and him and his 7 foot frame came out of the kitchen, funnily enough she didnt have much of a problem all of a sudden, she then had a bowl of soup, when she left I rang her through cash and she said "and I hope you dont expect a tip" I said " no honey the tips all mine, from here on in the little bit of life you have left, try to be nice, other wise no one will show up at your funeral" yes I did and felt good doing it, ok done for the day.....til next time ttfn.

well no one goes on here so im just going to ramble..........tomorrow is Alecs birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM.
Now im going to tell daily stories from work, didnt work today but have a story!
A customer comes in every day for lunch, usually a quesidilla (spelt wrong) so I asked him if he is working in the mall, no he says I visit my wife in the hospice across the road, he continued that his wife has alziemers and has been there for 4 years, he goes every single day and feeds her cleans her what ever he needs to do, never misses a day never misses a holiday and cherishes the days he walks in and she calls him by name...sigh, broke my heart, he said there is no history of alzeimers in the family, but he and his wife were in a serious accident in 99 and family friends started noticing a change in her since then, it killed him to have her admitted to the hospice but it was out of his control keeping an eye on her, she is 67 years old, this man deserves a medal :)

Random act of kindness

Wow no one has been on here for awhile!! anyhow you hear about random acts of kindness but rarely see them, so thought I would share this one, at work yesterday I had two young mums with 4 kids, I took there order and went into the kitchen, Emily (our cashier) came in and asked me for there bill, I was confused as they had only just ordered, I asked her if something was wrong, nope just give me there bill, I went out front after a few minutes to see what was going on and a lady who had been eating lunch there had randomly paid there bill for them, and left me a $10 tip, how nice, I told the girls and it made there day, and we all vowed to "pay it forward" what a nice thing to do.

Teeth!!!

Well, it's official.... I no longer have any wisdom (teeth) left. Wednesday I went under the knife and had the final two removed. They were under the gums so I opted to sleep through the process. All I remember from the surgery is the Dr. talking non stop before (to see if I was awake). During I hazily recall him saying, "Aww, isn't she cute, she snores like my 8 year old daughter". Then, as if I were hypnotized, he said "Okay, you can wake up now", and I DID!!! How weird is that.
I was soooo hungry & thirsty due to the fact that I couldn't eat or drink for 8 hours before the surgery. I really, really, really wanted to eat some eggs as soon as I got home (nice & soft, easy to eat). So as we walked through the door my Mommy made me a couple of eggs (Jeremy was at work already), I tried so hard to eat them......... However, when you have absolutely no feeling in your tongue, lips, mouth area, it is very difficult to know if you are chewing anything. After a few minutes of trying I gave up & went to bed, passed out, and woke up about 2 1/2 hours later. Just in time to say good night to the boys. Thank God my mom stayed for a "sleepover". I tried eating my eggs again around 9:30 pm, still no feeling in the mouth area. I was a little freaked out how long the freezing was lasting. Went to bed again & slept until Jeremy got home after 2:00am. By then the freezing was all gone & I had the most glorious eggs in the whole entire world!!!! I almost heard the angels singing.
The next day I was relieved that I only had swelling, looked like Cojo with the big jowels going on. And now, I'm sad to report that there is some bruising going on. I feel like wearing a big scarf around my face instead of looking like a fight victim. Thank goodness for Ice Packs, painkillers & family, otherwise I don't think this would have gone as well as it has.
Can't wait to see what next week brings!!!!

Buttons

Well my worst fears have surfaced about our girl, we found a lump in her throat today, so I guess the inevitable is here, I dont want to take her in, oh boy.
She is still eating and playing and doing all her regular stuff, but is obviously losing weight and her coat is started to look tattered, and with cats you cant tell if they are in pain or not, going to do all we can for the old girl, but fearing the worst.

Gotta love animals

So today, im in the line up at the car wash when I notice a prairie dog, so I started watching (had a half hour line up) so Randy Andy, as I named him was racing around like a madman, then I noticed there where tooooooons of prairie dogs, so good ol Randy had to check out everyone, he didn't care if they were male female or indifferent, he was giving them all a try lol, he would approach them chirping like a bird and then go in for the kill, the "targets" would stand on there hind legs and box with him, either they were female and said " get a life buddy I just woke up" or male saying " you moron" either way it was a delight to watch, he would take off across the field with his tail in the air and almost do flips when he saw a "prospect" just the cutest thing, and just yesterday on breakfast tv, they were saying Prairie dogs are a nuisance, give me a break, they keep to themselves, dont wreck lawns like moles, and provided me with a ton of entertainment, and on the one day I dont have my camera with me....sigh.
Im telling ya, it was wonderful :)
