can i get some silver ware?
tonight was a long day at work. i got there around three and helped prepare the dining rooms for dinner filling up napkin trays and wiping down tables. seacobeck opened at four, and for the longest while we had no more than thirty people inside the dining halls at a time-- WICKED slow. it came to be about six thirty and all of the dining staff were pretty happy because no students were there, and hence there was not much work. we were to close up at seven, and were like hey, this is pretty great. but students possess a sixth sense that allows them to know when the worst time to eat dinner is. they piled in, tons at a time, around six thirty; meanwhile, we had little food left and were practically scraping bowls while yelling at the cooks to hurry it up and send out food. it was so overwhelming we could only deal with one dining hall at a time (we were so incredibly short staffed) so we ended up closing one of the rooms and transported what was left of its food. ugh. it was so tiring, to get everything clean, keep on top of trays, silver ware, and plates, to keep the food trays filled up so people could eat.
hardly any people were on shift tonight... gracie, a woman who works on the dish line, was so incredibly overwhelmed with work that she came out, sat down, and almost broke into tears. i felt so bad for her-- luckily, after we were all finished with cleaning up the rooms following dinner, we were able to help her, and she was much happier. sheesh. what a day.
and i met a new person! his name is andrew, and is of course, as most people are around here, from virginia. it was his first day on the job, so i showed him around a bit-- and guess what he said to me! that i have an accent :P i was very happy at the thought of that. accents are cool.
and today has been a wicked unhealthy eating day for me. i had a veggie burger, four chocolate chip brownies, a caramel frappucino, and an entire bag of sour patch kids for my meals. you can say my stomach, as well as my body, is not feeling so well. i'll have to focus on eating more nutritious comestibles...
what else can i say? yesterday my roomate and i, before i went to work, went to central park and ate at t.g.i. friday's. after that we went and got two fish-- my roomate's one is named "skip" and mine is "spot killer." i told this to james today, that we had two fish, and when i asked him what he thought my fish's name was he said "james?" haha... no. well, it was funny at the time.
that's about all for my stories of today. the only other exciting things were that i got my beatles poster to stay on the wall, phil's song (see current music) played on the radio while i was serving, mozzerella sticks were on the menu, and i got to mop a floor. yup, that there is some good times. and now, to bed!
current mood: satisfied
current music: Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
