Jane and I really need to stop quoting music and movies with our headlines.
Some of my coworkers know I’ve started this blog. For most of those that do, it’s a passing curiosity. They know a little about it and the intent behind our little site… but none of them know [...]

So. Boyfriend is moving on to a new restaurant. That will make things… different. Well, at work anyway. Home will be the same as usual, except he’ll be very tired during training, and then very happy once he’s in the swing of the new job.
Me, meanwhile.. I get stuck with the [...]

Recently, there was a night where a couple of friends were at the bar when my shift ended so I swung around to the other side and had a drink with them
About 5 minutes in to my drink and conversation, one of my bar guests comes over to me on his way to the bathroom.
“I’m [...]

Table 311 is sat with two older gentlemen and an older lady when I walk up to it this evening. One of the gentlemen calmly tells me that he’s expecting his wife soon, but that they would like to have a cocktail while they wait. I take his order and the order of [...]
Beautiful day for boating

Nothing like a night off to recharge your batteries. Boyfriend and I went out with a friend on his boat for the evening… cruised around, went out in the open ocean, then pulled up to our restaurant’s dock and made fun of our coworkers stuck working on the patio. We weren’t too mean– we sat [...]

Tonight was one of those nights that ran like silk. I walked in, tied on my apron, and got a table right away. As this was 4:00, Sunday, and off season, I was happily surprised. This continued steadily throughout the evening. My tables were nice, my wine suggestions were listened to, [...]

There’s a server like Lana at every restaurant. Greedy, money hungry, and always certain that she deserves more than anyone else, Lana has become the cancer of our staff. Being in the section next to her is like taking your wallet and handing it over; she will shark every table she can get [...]
Dessert at Tiffany’s
Posted in life outside work, tagged Boston, Breakfast At Tiffany's, Häagen-Dazs on May 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m curled up on my couch in a silk robe, chocolate chocolate chip Häagen-Dazs at the tip of my spoon, and Breakfast At Tiffany’s in the DVD player. What more could a girl want? Well, aside from something from Tiffanys… but then, I always did have expensive tastes.

Time to jump in

Not sure where to begin, so I guess I’ll start with my favorite question from a patron on Mother’s Day:
“It’s awfully windy out here on the patio. Can you make the wind stop?”
Yes. Yes I can. Because I’m omnipotent and godlike. I would have loved to say something along those lines, but [...]
