I originally posted this column in April of 2009. This is my first rerun, and the office job is to blame. I am in week six or so of the job that I am not writing about, and it’s going swimmingly. But I’m salaried and I have a fancy title that has the word “director” [...]

This is how it felt. So there I sat minding my own business on Friday afternoon at my new job. It was close to the end of the day, and I was finishing up some projects and trying to get out of there a few minutes early to spend time with my son who had [...] I got this. Look lady, nobody would enjoy me having eight hands more than I would (and possibly my husband), but I don’t. So stop handing me shit. Did I hand you your menu, a glass of water, a napkin, a wine glass, a hot towel and four courses worth of silverware in quick succession upon [...] “What a meltdown” was a classic catch phrase at my restaurant during most of 2008 and 2009. It was uttered dozens of times per shift and could be used to describe anything from the kitchen getting behind on tickets to a server being so weeded that he had lost all cool and had digressed into [...] Sorry dears, I only have time for a quickie this week. I started my new job yesterday. And like I said before, that’s pretty much all I’m gonna say about it. I’m a quick study on the blogging and working thing, don’t you think?

It had already run in the magazine, the Today Show, and Msnbc.com — but Yahoo really brought out the [...]
Tis the season for drunken corporate Christmas dinners, dysfunctional family holiday dining and large-party automatic gratuities! You know, parties of 6 or more will be charged an automatic gratuity of 18%. Servers are all like, “That’s right bitches!” and diners are all like, “Oh no you di’int just add a tip to my [...] Today, I’m going to do the lazy procrastinator year in review sort of thing and let you read the annual family Christmas letter that I sent out yesterday. See? Even we heathen servers who don’t care about anything but 20% tips can be just like you and send out a Christmas letter. The hubs and I [...] People just love them some communities. I mean, they must. After my Reader’s Digest piece was picked up by both the Today show and Msnbc.com, the “food allergy community” opened up a peanut and gluten-free can of whoop ass on me. Some scolded me for not caring if their children died, others asked for a [...] |
