Do we like this work, or are we just crazy? .....yes

What is it that keeps some of us doing this work year after year? ......I'm glad you

asked...I've been pondering the same thing myself...here's what I came up with....

We are adrenaline junkies....we love when the rush hits....it's five in the evening...the

dinner crowd starts to trickle in....we're methodically moving along..and then BAM!!!! The

rush hits...every table is full....no time to think about anything other than what you are

doing...your mind is continually organizing and re-organizing everything you have to

do...this is a great exercise for keeping the mind nimble....then, in what feels like 15

minutes...it's time to go home.....

For some...it's like getting paid to have a social life...you go to work....shoot the bull

with your fellow servers...run your ass off....talk a little more...and then it's time to

go home....

It's a great alternative for those of us who are missing the 9 to 5 gene.....

If you're over 50...hell if you're over 40 and can still do this...you definitely have a

leg up (physically) over everyone else in your age group...(and even a whole lotta those

younger than you)

And.....freedom.....just because you're scheduled, doesn't mean you have to work.....as

long as you find someone to cover your shift.....you're set to go...and on the flip side...you

need some extra cash....see who's scheduled and call them and ask them if they want the

night off......

Why wait a year for a vacation, if you want in two next month.....just fill out the request off

form, (with as much advance notice as possible, we do want to be polite)

No one cares how much or how little you work......
