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! :)

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
