The weekend went as usual…..there were two of us behind the bar on Friday night, and only one server in the lounge, so we took some tables. Actually the lounge was filled with reservations. We had a group of 12, a group of nine and a group of six. I ended up taking the nine. When I heard there was four kids in the group, I did what we all do upon hearing new like that, I groaned. However, I was met with a pleasant surprise…..these were some of the best behaved most polite children I have ever waited on. They said please and thank you for everything, and never once attempted to get up and run around. How refreshing!
We finished out the night with another Conga Line around the lounge.
Saturday night was a little slower, but it was gorgeous outside….so I’m sure there were a lot of bar-b-ques going on.
Sunday was another story….there is no bar crowd on Sunday….so I usually meander around, go chat with the hostess, do whatever I can to kill time. But yesterday, I found a mission. I decided to defrost the condensers in the beer cooler. We decided the best way to do this would be with a propane torch. I figured it would be a pretty quick job. I figured wrong. It took over an hour. I sat on an upside down milk crate…thought I was making a lot of progress…the I realized as the ice was melting, it was also getting incredibly clear. Where I thought it was all melted, I was actually looking through the ice….I reached over to see if I could feel the metal on the condenser, no just more ice….kept going…..but then, there really wasn’t much else to do….so I kept at it. At least when I was finally finished, I had a sense of accomplishment.
That was the same sense of accomplishment I felt when I unclogged a sink in one of the wait stations. It’s amazing what you can do with baking soda, vinegar and a wire coat hanger.
So, like I said, I pretty much just meandered around. There is always something to do, it just depends on what you’re willing to do.
