Work Frenzy!!!

Man I don't think I have ever worked this many days in a row before. I think it has been over a month. I had the opportunity to work again today. I said no this time, but I am wishing I didn't. My body says thank you, but my bank account is screaming, "Stupid Bitch!" Such is the life. I have said before that I love my job, but is it possible to get burnt out on something you enjoy doing? Even if it makes you money? I am thinking it is so. Some morning I have been so exhausted that I didn't even want to get out of bed, but I have too. I have never been on a real vacation. I took a break over Christmas, but that was to visit family, it wasn't a real vacation. SO when my refund comes in this year, I am taking a REAL one. I am just giving you a heads up. This workaholic is going to go to Disney World. Reminds me of those Super Bowl commercials.

"You've just worked six years in a row. What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to Disney World!"

Okay, maybe I sound a bit excited about it, but I live in Florida and I have NEVER been there! I mean come on, I work a lot.

Work has been good for the most part. Business has been a bit slower, but I have made some new regular guests, which I adore. So for the most part, things at work are the same. Same crazy people, same shitty tippers, same rude people and even the same people with screaming kids coming in. Apparently, people like my restaurant.

Have a great week!

It is totally possible to get burned out, ESPECIALLY if you don't take at least 1 day off a week. My heart goes out to you - one waiter to another. I hope you take that vacay soon and get the R&R you need.

I couldn't agree more that vacations to visit family are not vacations. Yeah for getting to Disney. Funny how we don't visit those places that are (somewhat) nearby.

I'm interested in your experience as a waitress. There is a blog called "Waiting for LA" - www.waitingforla.com. If you get a sec, go check it out and if you get a second put some of your stories up there. I'm interested to know what people would write. It does not have to be about LA, I really want to start getting people talking.
