gah. I'm kinda tired. I guess that is what happens when you gorge yourself on delicious food and then drink a martini (or two). Kira and I met up for dinner at our workplace, the good old Steam Plant Grill. It was a lot of fun. The restaurant was really slow, so everyone just came over to sit and chat. Becky came and told us about her hypnosis diet. She seriously sat and talked for like 15 mins...I wonder if she had tables. Then Lenea, the general manager, gave us a free Wow! Dessert which is this fricken huge thing consisting of cookies, brownies, and scoops of chocolate ice cream. Lenea made it herself so she went a little nuts, and it was bigger than usual. Ugh, and I'd already eaten a huge plate of Chicken Macadamia and had a key lime cheesecake martini. I think I need to go on Becky's hypnosis diet. Oh, and Kira made us give Eli a ridiculously large tip for, in my opinion, some pretty shady service. But whatevs. Then Kira and I, not wanting to go home quite yet, but not really wanting to be out all night, went and got a martini at Bistango (this one was pretty much juice) and continued to talk about work and people at work. It was pretty fun.
It's nice to feel like people at work want to hang out with you...so far Kira is really the only person at the SPG I'd consider a "friend" and go out of my way to hang out with outside of work. And of course she is leaving for two months. Since I've become a server though, and especially as I start working more evening shifts, I think I'll continue to get to know people better that I never necessarily got a chance to interact with when i was the day hostess. I don't think things are going to drastically change and I'll be best buddies with everyone; in fact, I doubt I'll be hanging out with people any more now than I did before, but I'm hoping that people will be able to see me as more than the weird, quiet, day host girl. But if they don't, that's okay too, I guess.
I wonder how Lisa is doing right now, at Life Center, helping chaperone a jr. high group sleep over. She wasn't looking too forward to it, but I bet she's having a blast :-)
