I finally got some hours in this weekend at work. I worked Saturday night and ended up working in the screened in porch area. Saturday was super busy which is awesome money wise but I ran my butt off that night. I had probably ten tables at a time with no help. I sprinted, I sweat, and I made the money that I needed. I was so overwhelmed that I wanted to just stop and scream. When it got later at night I could barely even walk around on the Wharf because it was sooo packed. It was like being downtown at a busy bar on a Saturday night and not being able to move. Thankfully I was done really early so I didn't have to deal with it. The entire weekend really paid off and I am finally not negative money :)
Lately I have really been realizing how great my friends are. I think that I am really lucky to be surrounded by great people in different areas of my life. I love that I have the friends that have known me for years and know me inside and out along with work friends to vent with after work and school friends that I can swap teaching stories with. I really do think that I am a very lucky person :)
Time to head to bed and await a phone call from Zack at 2 AM :)
Goodnight!

Broke as a Joke...
So it is the middle of June and I am the most broke that I have ever been. It has been really crappy weather lately and that means that I don't make any money. I literally can't even go grocery shopping. This new job was supposed to HELP my finances but instead I am drowning in bills..... If only the sun would come out!
Last Saturday was probably the weirdest serving shift of my life. It was pouring rain all day but I was scheduled to work inside at the bar area at night. So I get there and it is dead. The next girl came at 5 and she did not get a table for probably an hour. We literally stood around and did nothing. There was no dinner rush or anything. There was one creepy man that kept making me get him a beer as he stood right next to the bar so I made about $3 off of him. Then later on there was a DJ who came in. This did not help bring people in. There were very few people there the entire night.
I finally got cut at 11:15 at night and so did security. I was about to leave and do my check out when a girl fight broke out between four rich married women. They were calling each other names and yelling. I ran and got security and eventually the lady that started the fight left with her husband while another lady stood by the bar balling. The DJ started playing inappropriate songs with inappropriate music videos. This is when I was out of there. I learned later that two of the ladies who were involved in the fight started making out and the DJ played a super dirty music video as well. Quite the Saturday night. I took my $40 and headed out of there.
This summer job is turning out to be not so great so far so hopefully when the weather turns beautiful and hot my income will also rise. I am not enjoying the life of being this poor!!!
On another note, Zack left for New Zealand yesterday afternoon. He is restoring habitats and working with village people. Then he is doing an adventure tour where he gets to snow board, bungy jump, and do a lot of crazy zack-like things. It's hard because we won't be able to talk for over a week because he is living with no electricity and we have never been apart this long. I just keep reminding myself that he is going to have the experience of a life time and then he will be back in a month. I miss him so much of course but know he will love being there :)
More later!!
