assholes. yes, really.

and, for once, this is not going to be about men. i'm talking about people. on my local craigslist (why i don't stop going on there is beyond me sometimes) there is currently a debate about tipping servers. and some of the comments are just hateful. like the why don't i get a real job and become someone. what the fuck is that? have you ever worked your ass off serving everyone person's possible want and need? have you ever had to multitask so freaking much that it leaves your head spinning and your heart hammering for hours afterwards? maybe i'll be someone someday? fuck you. i am someone. i'm someone who cares about strangers. i'm someone who knows people so well that i can practically tell what color underwear they're wearing after talking to them for three minutes. i'm someone who knows every fucking ingredient in every dish (and we're talking over 60 dishes) on my menu. and my menu changes daily. i've memorized so many items i can't even begin to list them. i'm someone who creates memories for people that last them their entire life. i'm someone who works her ass off so strangers can pass judgment on her and decide her quality of life. i'm someone who is kick ass at her job, who loves almsot every minute of it, and yet still has to deal with the judgment and bullshit of strangers who think i'm just some dumb girl who couldn't do anything else with her life except wait tables. it just makes me so mad, i want to go postal, i swear. but i won't. i won't succumb to the shit these people dish, because i do love what i do, and it pays for my life and my son's life. and it pays well. and i won't have school loans to pay for the next ten years. and i actually look forward to going to work most days. i'm a professional, and the people that don't recognize that are just fucking losers who probably hate their job and don't make shit for money. so there!!! lol
