Superwaitress, take 2.

Okay, so today I wake up to my mom saying gently, "Kendra, did you say your training started at 2 today?"

"No," I said, slightly irritated that she had disturbed my dream.

"What time then?"

"Ten," I said.

"Twelve?"

"No," I said, panicking now. "TEN! What time is it now?!"

"9:30!"

Before I was really awake I was on my feet saying, "What do I do? What do I do?" as if I had forgotten how to get myself ready, trying to figure out if I could work a 20 minute shower into the 30 minutes I had to get ready when the time it takes to drive to the cafe is about 20 minutes, HAHAHA. Needless to say, that didn't work. I ran around my house, jumped into some jeans, tried to put makeup on (and in the process smeared mascara all over my eyelid), and pulled my hair into a bun, which failed to hide the greasiness. Long story short though, my mom and sister did my chores for me, and Kaitlyn made me some toast and coffee, which I ate in the car. I have a good family:-D

On the way there, I decided I didn't look toooo bad, and within twenty minutes of waking up, I was clocking in:-D

I sat by myself at a table for awhile before a nice girl named Kelsey sat at the table with me, and we talked a little bit. She had a nice smile, and I think/hope that she won't be stupid and mean like some of the people I've worked with.

For the first half hour to an hour, I was befuddled by all the things I had to learn and make sense of, but as time went on, I realized it was going to be pretty simple once I got the hang of it. It may take some time to get into the swing of things, but I will, and I'm going to try my hardest.

The male manager is still very nice, and I met the female manager today. She's the one who trained me and the other waiters/waitresses. After the training was over, I asked some questions, and she gave me my Elijah's t-shirts (green and pink...like a freakin' watermelon, haha...actually I ordered pink and blue, but they didn't have blue, so whatever), and aprons. Yes, I have an apron. And I have to wear it, haha:-D

This job is going to be fun. I'm working the day shift because I'm homeschooled, so the people I'm working with are mostly older than I am, which means that even if they don't have life down yet, they're college kids and young parents, and they're more mature. Even if only just mature enough not to call you names behind your back.

Oh, one more thing I have to add! I experienced the weirdest sort of attraction of my life today. Okay, maybe not the weirdest, but pretty weird. It wasn't really a romantic attraction. I'm not sure what sort of attraction it was. But there was this guy there. He was dark and had awesome hair and was wearing cool clothes and just seemed really cool. Have you ever experienced this sort of magnetic thing with another person? For some reason, throughout the time that the lady was training us, I just watched him. Like, not on purpose...but my eyes kept wandering back to him. He came over to my table to sit with Kelsey (who he somehow knew), and I just kind of stared/smiled at him, wanting to introduce myself, but I wasn't able to. Afterwards, I felt weird and stalkerish, because I kind of hovered around him like, watching him, HAHA! He finally introduced himself, and I introduced myself to him, at which point I realized how weird I must look, hahaha...I couldn't help it though! It was like, magnetic. Like I said, not really a romantic attraction. Magnetic is the best way to describe it.
