Is it the weekend yet?

So this weekend is going to be loads of fun. I'm headed up to Hickory after work tonight to get Anna, who's going to be staying with me until Tuesday, and tomorrow after work, I'm picking up my good friend Beckie at the train station, who will also be staying until Tuesday... The reason? Because Lenoir Rhyne kicks out the students for Fall Break and Anna would rather come see me than stay with her uncle Andy or go home for the five days that she's going to have off. As for Beckie, she just wanted to come visit.

I'm expecting the weekend to be a lot of fun, so of course this week is dragging... I'm just hoping I get out of work as early as I did last night... That way I'll be getting home with Anna before midnight. On a similar note to that, I hope I get off early-ish tomorrow night, too, so Beckie doesn't have to sit in the train station for more than 10-20 minutes.


By the way, last night was another example of why I'm not a huge fan of working in a private club... We had a total of 6 people on the books, and not one of them ordered something from my station... Yes, I had to put together the Amuse Bouche to order, but that encompassed a grand total of 5 minutes... I spent the rest of the time cleaning and helping prep for a banquet... I can't really complain about helping with the banquet prep though, because I enjoy doing that. Hell, if I could, I'd work the banquet side of the City Club kitchen. Unfortunately, there isn't a spot open... Another problem with that would be the pay. They get paid conditional salary, which basically means that they have to work a certain number of hours or else their pay gets cut for that week, but if they work a lot more than what's required, they only get a very slight increase in pay for that week... It's pretty ridiculous.

Anyway... I got tutoring today, so this was basically a way for me to kill half an hour. I might post a recipe sometime this weekend, but don't get your hopes up.

TTFN!
