we didn't have any tables from 4:15 until around 6-something. so my co-workers and i (there was one other waitress, the hostess, and the other waiter came about halfway through) stood around talking and laughing the whole time. and it was a really great opener for the evening. things started out kind of slow but picked up really quickly. i was really excited by all of the tables that i got. the people were really friendly-there for a nice friday night date with their loved one's. after about 5 or 6 tables the other waitress came over and was like, oh this table requested you. and i was like WHAT?! first time that ever happened. and i had waited on the family before so it wasn't anything weird. but it was still such a confidence booster. the whole evening was this jumbled mess of crazy and stress. but i was in such a good mood it didn't even matter that i was running around and wheezing through 3 straight hours of food and dessert. C: there was this table that had come in a month or so ago, and had asked me for advice about their daughter. and i wasn't their waitress, but i stopped by their table as much as i could. and when they left. we have this huge curtain in front of the door to keep the breeze away from the customers. and i was helping the table right next to it, and they pulled the curtain apart to say goodbye. haha, so great. no one had ever done that before. there was also these three ladies that had gone to school together in india and had split up. they all found each other on facebook and decided to come to our restaurant to reconnect. and i got to serve them... there were just so many moments like that and it made the whole night so worth it.
AND i found this incredible pasta salad at wegmans. it was a sundried tomato something with rigatoni. and it was amaaaaaaaazing.
so tonight i'm going back. and i hope that i can do the same thing. oh la.
