The Waitress

-
Greg is in the work program where he gets out everyday at 11 AM to go to work as this real estate office in a close city. He doesn't have to be there until 1PM everyday so he has two hours to spare. He calls me and we decide to go out and eat.

There is this nice little place a few miles down the road, where it's a grill like place. The waitress was taking a long time to get to the table, so the manager yells at her, and the manager takes out drink order. Then the girl finally comes around, and we order. The food was taking a long time, but the girl kept coming back asking if we were okay. She looked stressed and tired as hell. We started watching her, and noticed she didn't have 5 or 6 tables in our section, but was doing 3 sections with about 14 tables altogether. We asked her if she was being over worked. She told one person quit this morning, and another called in sick so she was running three sections by herself. With the manager constantly on her back, and people fussing at her.

There was this table of a few guys right behind us. They kept bugging her for things, and they asked where their check was. She said it will be a minute sir I have to get these other tables. Then they started complaining their meal sucked, and how she wasn't refilling their drinks fast enough, and were giving this 18 year old girl a hard ass time. Eventually they got their check, and paid and left without tipping. Other people also were being very disrespectful to this girl. Greg called the manager over and said, " Look this girl is running 3 times her normal table and your ass is bitching at her, for doing more then her job. So you can shut your ass up, and call in some other people do you understand. And stop fussing at her." I was so proud of him, and he girl finally brought us our check, and we paid left her a 6 dollar tip which is more then enough for for a 10 dollar tab. I loved her, she was an excellent waitress.

Towards the end of our little outing, other people showed up to work the other sections. People were so rude to her, and I think out of all the people on this planet your server at a restaurant if the last person you need to be rude to. They have control of your food you know;)

I love people like that i allways stand up for people in those situations cause i know how hard it is to operate the drivethrough and front counters of a fast food joint by yourself and have to do it fast too cause people get mad and drinks are wrong and u spill things and all i want to do is cry, and people dont even care..

Too many people keep their mouths shut in situations like that. It's always nice when someone has the balls to speak up.

The Tragedy Has Been Written

-
My fellow readers, bloggers, and whomever reads this. This Tragic chapter of my life is almost over. I am emotionally, and physically drained, and cannot think straight. I am in tears in and out of the day, with a family that doesn't understand. They sway back and forth as if they themselves were wheat stems in the wind. I was outed Saturday night. How? I do not want to go into detail. However, when I did comeout it was supposed to be planned. This was unexpected and it's killing me inside... Having a Mormon mother, and family is hard. At first she was understanding of the whole thing. Now, it is as if something has sucked the force of love, and understanding out of her. She is constantly in a state of tears. Asking, " Why have I chosen this for myself?" She believes I am going to burn in hell, and that this choice is her fault. She keeps blaming it on herself, and thinks somewhere in my childhood I was molested... She goes in and out of these moods, where she is hap...

The College Tragedy

-
Okay, so here is my new problem. However for some basics I will go back just a little bit. I am a senior in high school, and I will be graduating this Christmas. I will be graduating a whole semester early, because I have worked my ass off. I am a fairly intelligent individual. I school I have never truly applied myself to be all that I could be. I have settled for a A, B average, and I am happy with this. I see school as a requirement to succeed in life, howeverI don't think school is all that. I however have plans to go to college. I however run a small part time business, and I do not have time to go to a regular sit down, and study college. I require my classes to be on my own schedule and not one set by someone else. I do plan on expanding my business while in college, and running it to its full potential when I have graduated. Most people BTW, in the gay community do not know this about me. What I do is mildly embarrassing but the money is excellent. I also will have news art...

The Hermit

One of the things I have given a lot of thought in my life is this. Once I graduate high school next year, just pack of my car with my most precious things, and clothes and just drive somewhere to some city, and settle there. Create a life there, and build there. I can achieve my goals anywhere, and the longer I stay in Atlanta the more I realize how fed up with things I am. I am content with where I am in life, but with all honesty I don't really know where I wanna go. I know I love business, and it's my passion, but I also just for a while wanna be somebody with no responsibility. I want to be someone who just works as a bartender, goes to college, and pays rent on an apartment. I don't want the responsibility of staying here in GA, tending to my brothers, being a house keeper, mowing the lawn, fixing dinner everynight, working, and going to college near home not being able to be who I am. The restraints of this lifestlye just don't appeal to me. To truly suceed in w...
