is it? is it me...personally? well then, why are you glaring at me like that?

oh, and now james started calling me petunia and lou says that he wants me to start cooking in the kitchen with him...i laughed so loud that i made everyone at the restaurant blink at the same time (ok, i don't know if that really happened, but i'm tired and my writing isn't making much sense right now).

so of course we are slammed...had to open both floors and it was only the three of us. perfect time for sam to walk in and go back and forth between staring at lou while he's cooking and staring at me while i'm polishing cutlery. i think he's desperate because there aren't any blond girls left working at the restaurant (he really likes the blond ones) and i 'win' by default. he is such a creep.

my favourite is the 'i had no idea you took reservations' game. 'we've been coming here for years and you never took reservations'.

but i'm sure if you work in a busy restaurant, you will soon discover the herding instinct: everyone comes in at once; some nights people will all order the same things; it will be a 'businessman' lunch and a 'ladies-night-out dinner'. not only that, but everyone gives you the same jokes or seems to be in the same mood.

it's nice, but it's not nice, too.

p.s. i always seem to have the worst luck. i will run into sam in the kitchen when i am saying something silly or doing something crazy. although, the sam alarm is helpful, for sure.
