Wandering Aimlessly

I have so much to say and so little time! Red Hot and Boom was awesome. I had a ton of fun. Karen from the Science Center and Diana, Brandi and Jessica from Pizza Planet went. I found a new band I just love. I-4 is their name, and they're so adorable. They have a violinist! How cool is that? I need to find their CD. We're going to their concert on Thursday.

We saw LMNT, the dance off between Joe Fatone, Sr. and Doc (Joe SO won), Avril Lavigne (however you spell that), Alana, Soluna, Bayje, Aaron Carter, and O-Town. I don't think I forgot anyone... anyway, it was a lot of fun. O-Town was great. Heehee. And the fireworks were awesome! Really cool fireworks. So I'm glad I went.

Yesterday was less fun. We had a potluck at work, which was cool. They catered out the main course and everyone brought salads and stuff. So that was good. Of course, the food got pulled before my break, so Jessica made up a plate and put it in the office, which was nice. Then JEN came to visit!! She and Carolyn were off to the side and Jen had her video camera and it was SO good to see her. I was so excited. Lol. And I was trying to take people's orders. But that's where the good part of the day ended. So we were busy during lunch, but then we got dead until about 7:10. Then the RUSH came. Oh my gosh. I don't know what was wrong with the fillers, but I had the line backed up to my register. People were so fed up with waiting that some of them asked for their money back and left. Oops. Stephen pulled the other two registers at 7:50 to have them help fill, and there was no one out there to put the rope up at 8, so I did it. Of the people who were inside at 8:00, it took until 8:20 to get them through the register. THEN they had to get their food.

I was also closing buser, so after I banked out, I ran upstairs and did all the tables. When I was finishing tables, Domingo came up and did trash and swept. So I went downstairs, which was absolutely trashed. Whoever had been busing down there had done an awful job. They hadn't emptied trash in forever, and when they had emptied it, they weren't replacing bags. There are usually about 10 bags in each can.... they were all down to their last bag, which meant when bags were leaking, they were leaking into the cans. ARGH. Fireworks were at 9 and I was supposed to meat Diana out front of the Chinese Theater. I got done with tables (didn't sweep or empty trash) at a little after 9 as the fireworks were starting, and I went in and told Stephen I was sorry but it wasn't done and I had to go, so I clocked out. Well, fireworks were only 10 minutes (stinkers), and I saw the end as I was out front of the restaurant, so then Jessica, Joan and I went back in and told Stephen we'd already clocked out, but if he wanted, we'd finish busing. So we were there until 10. Grrr.

Then Jessica, Joan and I went to meet Carolyn and Jen at Margaritaville to see Blue Stone Circle again. They're so cute. That was a good time. =) Well, I think I got everything said. And Stephen said today's going to be worse than yesterday.... good thing I'm not closing!! Woohoo! Off to battle the crowds...
