Question of the Day: How do you want those eggs done?

scrambled, on top of a piece of buttered wheat toast. and a slice of tomato on top with salt & pepper.

What's for dinner on Easter? Are you cooking?

Goose with citrus, veggies, soup, fruit tart, yum yum.

though polish custom usually has the main focus of the day on breakfast - eggs, polish sausage, more soup. triple yum :)

Waitering, Part Two

I have to agree with the sentiments about how awful it is when people just don't show up. I worked a summer with a boss/chef who would throw plates at the waitresses and call us every name in the book - on girl (understandably) quit - but I had to spend the next three weeks working double shifts, 7 days a week to cover her lunch shift. It sucked, and it would have been great if she could so much have given a bit of notice, or forwarded us a name of a friend who could cover her.

And maybe it's because I paid most of my way through college/law school waitressing for every psycho chef out there, but I don't really see the big, dehumanizing aspect of having to get a kid a piece of bacon and picking up a fork. Count your blessings if that's this is the worst job you get.
