HOT

Wow... thanks heat wave! It's been so hot recently, I don't even have the energy to bitch and moan about bad tips, messy customers, new people, and shitty old people. Let these few excerpts from work give you an idea:
Friday: 5 to go sandwiches with salad and pickles. Total: $37.00 Tip: ZERO
Saturday: 6 drinks, 7 pastries, 2 sandwiches, NO TIP.
Sunday: "What is this, a fucking zoo!" (as I pick up three dismantled NY Times which have been spread around the entire left side of the cafe, as well as napkins littering the floor.)
Monday: 5 drinks, 6 pastries, 3 kids, $0.25 tip.... but they cleaned up after them selves.. THANK YOU!

Tuesday and Wednesday, the hottest days of the week I had off, thank God. Those days, I spent jumping fromone airconditioned store to the next, and then an entire day at the beach with my favorite person in the entire world, Gabriel Rodriguez, aka sexiest boyfriend ever. I would say that day was my saving grace, since I was about to go AWOL at work and seriously tell customers just how rude they were being. But, as always, my love can see beyond the heatsoaked now and center me in reality. Where I run on emotion, he runs on logic, which means perfect balance of conversation at a day at the beach. Obviously I needed this detox day because the heat was poisoning my brain.

Yesterday (Thursday) consisted mostly of a.) sweating it out at work and b.) movie theaters.
I watched four movies yesterday. Two at the theater, two at home.. wait two and 1/2 at home...
Anyway, needless to say the heat has been affecting all of us. Some mentally, some physically, mostly both for me. But today is so nice out, maybe I can have another refreshing day at the beach tomorrow, after I work. We will see!
