My Work

I am a server at a local Denny's resturant. I have been there for a little over a month now and honestly, I love my job. I never was a waitress before, not even when I was a teenager. To be honest, I always promised myself I'd never be a waitress because my mom was one for many years and I've heard a lot of horror stories. But I needed a job, a real job. And so I applied at Denny's.

And I'm loving it! Honestly, that shocked the hell out of me. We have a married couple that we hang out with and the wife is working as a waitress until school starts back up again. She is going to be a nurse. She thought I was crazy when I told her I love my job and I'm actually thinking of sticking with it and just doing the web design on the side, out of my home. She said there is more money to be made in the web design business. I told her that it all depended on where you live, and here... eh .. not so much. Plus it is all salary based pay which means working my ass off for one flat fee, which honestly, the concept has never sat that well with me... salary based jobs I mean. They can work you as hard as they want and only pay you "X" amount.

I talked to Master about this and He is fully supporting the decision. Plus talk about job security. We could move anywhere in the world and I could get a job as a waitress! Anywhere! There is always restaurants looking for experienced wait staff.

Also, I'm good at my job. Not only has Master said so (I've waited on Him a few times when I have asked Him to come into work and have lunch, just so I could see Him..) but the general manager of the store was surprised that I didn't have any experience, seeing as I get so many compliments from customers and everyone there says I am doing very well.

It also helps that 90% of the people who work there knew Master and I from us coming in to eat. Hell we stopped there on our wedding day, before we went to the court house, and we stopped there the day we got back from our honeymoon.

I know not a lot of people would want to make waitressing their live long career. And yes it is a "blue collar" job, but I am a blue collar person, and I love that about myself.
