Hi.
I am making a brief reappearance in this area of cyberspace to give an update on my current status in the non-cyberspace world.
I’ve been working at the Quilchena golf club for about a month now as a server for banquets and weddings on the weekends. Basically it means that I have to pour wine like a pro, clear dishes constantly and keep those water glasses filled with water AND ice, not just one or the other (believe me, this is difficult). Just recently I also picked up hostessing at White Spot, where they work me like heck because I’m at the very bottom rung of the seniority ladder. I smile at people, give them menus, clear half-eaten Pirate Paks, reset cutlery and smile at other people in the restaurant. But this makes it sound like I don’t really like either of these jobs. This is not true. I love being around people that I don’t know because I can constantly make first impressions.
I know that this summer holds lots of working for me, but I want to do other new things too! Yesterday, I went out to dim-sum with a couple and their daughter from church. Michaela (younger sister) hated me for dragging her along because she is very picky and I was kind of the one who suggested that we do dim-sum, but overall it was a fascinating experience. The food is carted around on trolleys and when it arrives they snip in half with scissors! But you all probably knew that already. Also, I want to start drinking green tea throughout the day. So many cultures advertise its health benefits.
Also, Meghan and I deduced that most of our sentences start with “also.” This is not a good habit.
