Serving is Stupid

There are some people in this world who think Servers/Waitresses are stupid. I am not one of these people and neither am i stupid. Tonight was one of those nights were people demand stuff from you and are not even grateful when they recieve it. They yell at you and all you can do is smile and do what you can to make them happy. Meanwhile back in the kitchen away from the guests you rant and rave about how the stupid lady gave you a greasy because you tried to clear her plate while she was hovering it like an eagle.

I know this profession is all about giving the customer what they want but sometimes i would like to really tell them how rude they are being and tell them that i am not some dumb waitress and you should pay me more respect or you are not getting any dessert!

Some days i love my job but other days i just want to scream. It really depends on the people. However i am good at my job and i'm also very good at nodding and smiling. Both pays off in the end.

I'm little bit lonesome, I'm a little bit blue

The last couple of days I have been feeling a tad lonely, I guess thats pretty normal sometimes. I mean up here all I have time to do is work, drink and think. The worst is drinking thinking. Liquor logic in a can. It’s not just love loneliness, it’s missing family/friends and Australia loneliness too. It’s weird because I keep having mini daydreams. I think about some of my ex-boyfriends coming up to the ranch and what they would say and do to declare there love for me and then they would swept me off my feet. Some I would embrace and others I would turn away from. I really have to stop having these daydreams but they can be pretty entertaining sometimes! You imagine yourself going back to certain situations and saying all the things that you wanted to say to people and not holding back.

Last night we went down the Riv (the only bar in town-which hasn’t changed in like 50 years) and then came home. I wasn’t really in the mood for drinking but last night there was apparently a meteor shower forecast. So when we got home I decided to spend some time alone talking to God and watching the stars for a while. I cried for a while too, which was good to have a release of emotions, and then just told god that I was lonely and that I wasn’t sure what to do about the future. Unfortunately I still can’t see my three stars which does freak me out sometimes but there are some many other constellations out there; it was just a nice night. You can see Cassiopeia, the big dipper and little dipper here tho. Not quite as good as the southern cross or Orion’s belt but it’s still spectacular to see what God created. I even got to see a few shooting stars.

Then I came back inside and eat some tim-tams which was awesome! Nothing helps loneliness like a packet of tim-tams.

Visit to Golden

Luke and Telsin came up for the last weekend which was awesome, nice to see the boys again. They got to experience some horse riding time, some drinking time and much to my dismay they didn’t want to have any line dancing time. I don’t think the boys love the country music and line dancing as much as I do but they did enjoy the fresh air and chance to relax for a few days. I took them down to the river which was nice and refreshing and then on the Sunday I got a few days off to drive back with them to Golden. So I’ve just had Monday and Tuesday off to revisit some old friends and drinking holes that was my home for 4 months. It has changed so much, well the town is still the same as it was but there is absolutely no snow! So weird to see the mountain and town and see what’s normally underneath. It’s actually pretty scary to see what’s underneath, especially on the mountain.

Monday I took pretty easy and relaxed but on Tuesday Luke and I went up the mountain to go mountain bike riding. So as I was going up the Gondola I got the chance to look down and see plenty of pine trees, waterfalls, lakes and huge massive rocks! I must say that mountain bike riding is pretty wicked, scary but hell fun. We got kitted up with helmets, wicked suspension bikes and protective gear for arms and legs and hit the tracks. It is a shame I forgot my camera cos I would love for you all to the see the mountain and what we were riding. I looked up a few of the mountains and I just couldn’t fathom what the hell was I thinking when in winter I straight lined the whole thing! I must be nutso! Surprisingly Luke and I didn’t hurt ourselves coming down the mountain on bikes, I did fall over once into some slippery rocks but all was well. It was good to see the people in Golden too and catch up a bit with everyone. Somehow I don’t think Luke will be leaving anytime soon.

So apart from the stupid greyhound bus driver arguing with me in front of the whole bus because I didn’t give him my ticket at the door (I gave it to him when he came on the bus) and telling me to get off his bus (to which I said no) my trip to Golden was a lot of fun.

Back to work now.... 3 months here to go!
