Thank God for Xanax!
All I ask for is a little sleep…just some…please! My curse would have to be that I do NOT sleep…ever. I’ve always had a hard time sleeping, when my dad passed away 3 years ago, it got worse. After being awake for over a week straight (and being unable to control my high blood pressure), the doctor prescribed me Xanax. I’ve been sleeping like a baby ever since!
Just think…it’s like a little magic pill…and I love it. I’ve already taken one tonight – about 15 minutes ago. That means one thing…okay…more than one thing…
I have no idea what I’m doing right now…
I’m on the verge of falling asleep as I’m typing…
I won’t remember writing this when I wake up…
The list could go on and on!
For now, I’ll take my Xanax ridden mind upstairs…go to sleep…and I shall return with some dim-witted thing to write about tomorrow!
What Happened to Customer Service…
Let me sum this up for you…I’ve been a waitress for 22 years…and I love it! Tonight at work was no different than any other Friday night – just as busy as usual. One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that the younger generation doesn’t have the same dedication to customer service as I do…and it pisses me off! My thought is simply this…without customers…there’s NO MONEY! Hhhhmmm…let’s think for a minute then!
It’s not like I go to work just to make that quick dollar and then head home. I get to know my customers…most of them are now my friends. When I’m at work, it’s important to me that everyone is taken care of the way they should be…and I take an enormous amount of pride in what I do. Some people just chuckle…thinking that I don’t have a ‘real’ job…some of them look at me like I’m just an idiot. Most of those people wouldn’t be able to handle doing what I do…and I know that. I don’t really let it get to me though…because I know that I’m more than just a little waitress from Pennsylvania. I’m a mother…I’m a friend…I’m a writer…
Now…back to the topic at hand…
Tonight at work, there was a 16 year old waitress working. She doesn’t get along with the 16 year old hostess that was there. I know there’s really no need to expand on that…you all probably know where it’s going…and you’re right. Half way through the night, the hostess ended up in tears and the “F-bomb” was flying around like it’s going out of style. I have a trucker mouth myself…BUT…not when it comes to being in public. This waitress was complaining and carrying on like it was the end of the world – loud enough for customers to hear her. It took everything I had not to walk up behind her and just smack her in the back of the head! SERIOUSLY!
My mentality is…people don’t come out to eat to listen to drama and witness personality conflicts between staff members. I was livid that this was even going on…somehow I kept my cool. I calmed down the hostess…even though she’s not very good at her job either…and went back to taking care of the customers. My main concern is that everyone is happy and well taken care of. I knew there were A LOT of people that could hear this waitress considering she was less than 10 feet away from the dining room! The people that were mad eventually calmed down…I apologized more times than I’d like to count…the waitress was fired.
I wish I knew what happened to customer service…where did it go…when is it coming back…
Scripts are Getting the Best of Me…
These screenplays are proving to become more complex through each scene! Let me tell you – writing a book is SO much easier! But, thanks to the new screenwriters software that I bought…it made it a little easier! We should be ready to film movie number one by this summer.
Yes, it’s true…I’m writing the screenplays…we are also doing all of the filming ourselves….with NO BUDGET! Thank goodness for friends…we are there to help each other. This has actually been a blast and a major learning experience. I’m on my way to the top…hopefully I don’t fall off the ladder once I’m up there!
Welcome to My World!
Here I am…contributing to WordPress…and I have NO idea what I’m doing! Anyone have any advice for me. Well, guess I’ll introduce myself here…I’m Michele! Once I figure out how to use this site, there won’t be any keeping me quiet! Enjoy the silence for now…because I shall return!
