    Hi Suanne!

    Nice blog. I’ve added it to my blogroll.

    Since I was a waiter for 6 years, I’ll add the following.

    11) You save money by working weekends and holidays when your friends are partying.

    12) Borderline alcoholics are the rule, not the exception.

    13) Your place of employment is directly related to your looks.

    14) Pretty blonde waitresses ALWAYS make good money, no matter how skilled they are.

    Hi, Jordan, and welcome to the site!

    This is too true. We brunettes, though, are nowhere near as sure a thing. Which may be just as well, in the long run.

    Unless one aspires to the \”life-long service as a waitress\” award, of course.
