Wow, it's almost April, and my last post was Feb 12th.
Today is March 27th, so I've been serving now for over 2 months?!? wow, hard to believe. That went really fast. I'm still enjoying serving, some days are better than others. I find it really depends on the people I'm working with whether or not I'm going to have a good night. There are people there that are a lot of fun, and I like joking around with, and there are others that I try to avoid for the entire day/night.
I do try to stay positive, and make sure that the guests at my table get my best service even if I'm not having a great day or night. Guests usually seem genuinely happy at the end of the meal, so I feel pretty good about that. I had a great table from Kitchener Ontario the other night, who not only drank lots of wine, but had fun chatting with me about Guelph, and Canada, and working down here in Florida.
I've also had great american tables who like to joke that I always say "Eh" and such, I usually try to play along, and kid around with them, but after you hear it for the 20th time that day, it's a bit less entertaining.
As I put in my last blog post, this last little while there have been a lot of great people who have had to leave, it hasn't been easy being left behind here. Lot's of new arrivals too, and I'm sure they are good people, but they can't replace those I've had to say goodbye too. I hope they are all doing well back in Canada.
3 of my favourite people to work with all left on this past friday. It was really really hard to say goodbye to Lyndsay, Ali, and Heather. There have been others that have been tough to say goodbye to, but these three were the ones I spent the most time with over the last 3-4 months. Watching them drive away I knew that nothing was going to be the same here. Everyday so far it feels like something is missing, and I don't know if that will go away. I'm trying to work as much as possible over the next while to keep myself distracted, and save up some money so that when they come back to visit (they promised!) I can spoil them.
I'll try to post more often, I know at least 1 person reads this now.
