Krieger, I'm sorry to disapoint you, but they usually let me off work around two, if we're slow.
So if you really want to harass (correctly pronounced HAR-ess) me at work, you will have to wait till Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday, because I am working all those days. Yip. Ee.
Ok, so today, my second day ever!, they taught me how to actually take customers orders.
I'm not good at it.
I always forget to assign their orders a coaster. Which of course is badbadbad. The coasters are the little buzzy-your-food-is-ready thing, and when I forget to give one to the customers, we don't know whose food goes to who(m?) and it causes unneeded chaos. (BTW, just decided that chaos is one of my favorite words. It looks like 'chous', but it's kay-oss)
Today I saw one person I knew: Tyler Sosbee. He nodded at me, so aparently he recognized me.
OH! And a customer called me a smartass while I was taking his order. It wasn't like he was mad at me and calling me names, he thought he was being funny.
He was like "It's my first time eating here. Is the *insert menu item here* good?"
And I said "It's my second day working here, so I'm not sure."
And he goes "HA-HAA! Smartass."
I WASN'T TRYING TO BE A SMARTASS, I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW!!!!
I hate people. Because after that, he and his friend (who looked a lot like a really scrawny version of Heath Mayfield) kept making my job harder. Like, the guy who was with the guy that called me a smartass asked for Ranch dipping sauce, so I got some for him, but then he comes back a minute later, and was all "I wanted Zax sauce. You gave me Ranch". Then I was all "I'm so sorry." Then I got him a Zax sauce, but I swear he said Ranch. I'm positive.
Oh, and if you would like to know what I messed up on today:
1) the whole caoster thing
2) when I was sanitizing the trays, the sanitizing squirt bottle came apart mid-spritz. I was left with the nozzle in my had, as the bottle, full of liquid, fell to the floor.
3) I tripped over a pile of dishes that was waiting to be cleaned in the back. Soaked my pants up to the knee. Bobby, one of the cooks, told me it was a trap. I believe him.
4) I pushed the wrong button on the order thingy... quite a few times.
All in all... Great day. :-)
Krieg, hope to see you at Zaxby's on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday. Can't wait to hear about Hawaii.
p.s. this is my twentieth blog ever. hooray for me!!

The Zaxbys Chronicles
Today was my first day at Zaxbys and I was a nervous wreck!
Ireally didn't want to mess up and embarrass myself in front of everybody.
The manager Harold told me to follow this girl Christy (Kaitlyn's aunt..who knew?) around and she would kind of show me how to do things. She was super nice, but I still felt awkward and like I was in the way all the time.
My official job is 'front of the house' which pretty much means I do everything in the front. (shocker right?) Since I have yet to be taught the art of taking orders, I did everthing else, I filled guest's cups with ice for their drinks, I brought food from the kitchen window to the counter and buzzed people. (You know the buzzy pager things they have there to let you know your food is ready? I did that.) I had to check tables which pretty much means I have to walk around the dining room and wipe off the tables that people had eaten at that had crumbs and stuff. I had to collect dirty trays and zalad bowls from the return places, Ihad to carry the zalad bowls to the back and wipe off all the trays and give them back to the cooks, and I had to sweep the dining room.
And apparently, I look really different in my uniform, because I saw a few people that I know from school, and they didn't recognize me. (or they were just too embarrassed to admit knowing me :P) Like Josh Walker. He is pretty good friends with Geoffrey, and I'm pretty sure that when he first saw me, he didn't recognize me.
Also, Alison Chester, who I don't know really well, but she was in band and she played the bass clarinet so she sat like 3 seats away from me throughout concert season, and I'm almost positive that she didn't recognize me.
HMM..... mysterious.
All in all, I pretty much enjoyed my first day. The people there were all nice.
I work again on Wednesday....

Camping
Ok, so I just got back from camping, with all my favorite people (ha!), but seriously, the camping trip was so much fun.
If you forget about:
1)the truck towing the Fox's camper breaking down, leaving us without 3 sleeping places
2)the terrible rain forcing us all to sleep in the cabins rather than the tents as planned
3)conditions being 'less than desirable'
4)hiking
5)forgetting half the food
6)sleeping 7 people in a cabin made for 4
7)dramadramadramadrama
8)community bath-houses
Other than that, I loved it!
We played so much Uno and B.S., I'm pretty sure I could play in my sleep.
And I can't believe how much we laughed on that trip.
We laughed about:
"OKaaaayyyyy", "I'm Hongray!!", and other Cody-like phrases.
Fighting with 'blind' kids
Asian emo stalkers
Brooms
Thatch
Lesbian songs
and so much more.
Anyway, I had fun.
I can't wait to hear what Emily has to say about it.

Indy 4
Ok. So I watched the new Indiana Jones movie last night, and it is really good.
It has just as much action as the first 3 even though Harrison Ford is old now.
Oh! And when Indiana puncnes a guy in the face (or gets punched in the face), it makes the same exact sond effect as the old movies.
And Shia Labeouf (is that how you spell his name? I don't know) did a really good job, and the movie was really funny.
My only problem with the movie is that it's a little more sci-fi than the old ones. Not as realistic. (If you have seen it already, then you know what I'm talking about.)
All in all, It was a fantastic movie. I completely reccomend seeing it, but you really should see the others before this one, or else you won't really get some of the jokes.
THe only thing about the movies that confuses me is those monkeys. What the heck was that all about??

Cheesy Movie Lines
Ok. I have decided on my favorite pick up line from a movie.
It occurs in "Back to the Future" when Marty goes back in time and has to make his dad (George) ask his mom (Lorraine) to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.
So anyway, George walks up to Lorraine in the diner and he says,
"I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density."
Omigosh. That has got to be the cutest thing I have ever witnessed. 'Density' instead of 'destiny'.
I swear, if a guy said that to me, my heart would just melt.
Anyway, I felt like writing about something happy and just kind of cute and useless. This is it.
Oh! And I'm going to see the new Indy movie on Friday.
WHOO-HOO! Can't wait.

Peter Pan and Billy Madison got it Right
Peter Pan was definitely right on not wanting to grow up
(and living on an awesome island and flying around and being all-around B.A.), but mainly on the not growing up thing.
And the scene in Billy Madison after he has started high school, and he goes back to visit his 3rd grade friends, and the cute little fat boy goes " Wow. I can't wait till I get to hi-gh school, Billy"
and Billy grabs his face and all intensely says "Don't you say that. Don't you ever say that. Stay here. Stay where your safe. Stay as long as you can. For God's sakes, cherish it!"
Besides being really funny, I wish I had had that advice. High School sucks!!(euphemism for 'sucks cock'. haha. I learn so much in English)
Everybody grew up so fast. I miss days where your biggest problem is that you didn't win the race to swings when you got let out for recess.
Now I'm dealing with sex, and drugs, and drama, and how you aren't considered a good person if you like the same person as your friend.
HONESTLY! I can't believe what is happening to a certain friend of mine. I don't want to say names because I don't want to stir things up, but teenage girls are awful!
I heard once that the worst part of being a teenager is other teenagers. AMEN to that!
But trying to make out your friend to be a bad person because they like a guy that you supposedly liked first (even though you have a boyfriend) is one of the meanest and most manipulative things I have ever heard.
Have you seen the movie Mean Girls? I know who the Regina George of the 9th grade is.

Have you Called Jenny yet?
So, there was a lot of drama today, and I can't stand it.
Drama is such a waste of energy, and I don't want to deal with it. It doesn't help that people keep asking me about it all the time. If you really want to know about it, don't ask me at school. e-mail me or something.
I don't really want to explain the whole thing, but it ended up with somebody telling me that I am a b***h who should straighten her hair (I found this to be a weird insult. Like 'Oh you have curly hair, I hate you.... Also I have worn my hair straight every day this week), and that I should call Jenny Craig.
Wow. If I was going to use any TV weight-loss program, it would so not be Jenny Craig. NUTRISYSTEM!! Haha.
So I really wish all this would blow over, but I doubt it will, because it was apparently a very big deal.
It is even being brought up right now as I type this.
So, I guess that's about it.
Oh!! Except that the Cruisin' on the Square thing is this Saturday, and I will be there showing off my daddy's car... unless it rains. but come see me please. '4p.m. till dusk' is the official time, but it sure would be great if someone stopped by, so it won't just be me sitting around cool cars and old men.
Yup. I'm all out of words.
