ah, the power of 22

good morning, and happy thursday!  i feel fabulous knowing that i'm starting my real blog adventure on the 22nd.  there is something magical to me about the number 22.  the love affair started when in junior high.  go back to 1990 - gym class - basketball season.  initially, i wanted #13 because that had always been my lucky number.  i was born on friday the 13th, and i loved it!  so anyway, when it came time to pick our jerseys,  i was highly disappointed that the #13 jersey was a size SMALL.  wtf?  being abnormally tall, this was not going to work for me.  so, i opted for a larger jersey... the coolest number to choose from was 22.... so, i claimed it.  it grew on me that year, and by the end of the season.. i had decided that 22 was now my favorite number.  for anyone who actually knows me, they know how much i love this number.  anything i have that has a number in it, has at least one 22 in it.  one of these days, i'd like to get married on the 22nd.  it's a bit weird how much i love this number ... but hey.  so happy July 22nd to everyone.  so, anyway... on to another subject.... i worked last night and didn't get home until after 11pm.  this is not fun.  i work 8-5 in corporate America, but 2 nights a week, i moonlight as a cocktail waitress at a semi-prominent restaurant here in t-town.  i'm usually at home by 930, but i had some loser come in and sit at one of my tables.  he was still there after i begged the closing manager to let me go.  i wouldn't be surprised if he slept there, considering he had already been sitting in my section for 2 hours.  and you know what this guy ate/drank???  a soup/salad for an entree..... and 17 diet cokes.... and 12 shots of Jack daniels whiskey.  i kid you not.  and you know what the sorry )*&^)*$&%^ left me as a tip?  $6.  thank you, mr i drink too much.  thank you very much.  in other restaurant drama news, we have purchased a new building and will be putting in a second location here in town.  very exciting stuff.  so, the man who will be taking over the general manager position at the current location is 29 years old.  good at his job, we all love him.... apparently, some of us too much.  just confirmed rumors last night that he is boinking one of the 18 year old waitresses.  *shakes head*  this, is why i have never taken a mgmt position that i've been offered in my years of working in the restaurant business.  the long hours suck, kissing people's asses all the time sucks, but more than anything... the drama of a restaurant is comparible to that of a soap opera.  a few years back, a manager got fired for boinking a server in the office.... are you kidding me?  when will the madness stop?! so, that's all i got for now.  hope you all have a great day, and will talk to you later.....
