Dreams

After last night I feel the need to write a mini-blog to let you non-servers know how pathetically dedicated we servers are to our jobs. All last night I dreamed that I was waiting tables. And of course, it wasn't a peaceful dream with a smooth running shift, it was a stressful one. In my dream I had four small tables and for some reason there were six people at each table. All of my tables got sat at the exact same time and when I go into the kitchen to get their drinks there isn't enough glasses for everyone at my tables. Each time I grab a glass to put on my tray I looked down and it was gone. Then as I tried to read what everyone ordered as their beverage I noticed that I had written my orders in dry erase markers and I couldn't make out a single drink. I walk over to the computer to put in their dinner orders and I remember screaming at the top of my lungs, "I am in the fucking weeds so bad this has to be a dream!!"
Followed by a coworker saying, "This isn't a fucking dream bitch, hurry, I need to use the computer too!"

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you I dream of waiting tables 4 or 5 times a week. It's ridiculous! I wait tables all night, go home, go to sleep and have another stressful night at work. Unfortunately I don't get to keep the money but at least the stress is free. So here is another reason for you to go easy on your server...we have been dreaming about this shit all night! Every server that I know has these dreams about as often as I do. I believe it is probably some form of PTSD that we have given ourselves.

I know this wasn't a full blown blog about anything "blog-worthy" but it was a between blogs blog...so be happy about it :)
