I'm a server

7 Things That Annoy Me At Work

If any of my managers are reading this....maybe stop here?

When I greet a table, and they act like I'm not there.

Giphy

"Hey everyone! How's it goin'?" *Crickets* "Great, I'm doing great as well, thank you for asking."

Or when I'm in the middle of my greet and they interrupt me to tell me their drink order.

Giphy

"Awesome, well as I was saying, my name is Haley I'll be your server today. Now, can I get you a lemonade or iced tea?"

OR when I'm trying to get a drink order, and they blurt out what they want to eat.

Giphy

Ah, I'm taking drink orders right now, but I can take your food order in just a second. Thank you for your patience and self control.

When it's a big party and I'm passing out food and someone says " you forgot my extra sauce, plate, etc."

Giphy

Oh you know what, I also forgot my third arm today as well. Bear with me.

When I answer a question and someone asks the same exact question immediately after.

Giphy

Sometimes I pretend to not know the answer, or I give a completely different answer.

Club soda. Lemon. Lime. Sweetener.

Giphy

What you are looking for is sprite. And yes, we do indeed carry it.

When they say they have a deadly gluten allergy, then yell at you for not bringing bread.

Giphy

So should I tell them or just see what happens?

Honestly, it's not that bad and money in your hand at the end of every shift makes it all worth it.

Giphy

Remember, Karen: being nice is FREE! You don't have to speak to a manager to get kindness taken off your tab! :)

mistake
Project Eve

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
