Gah. Three days since I started working as a WAITRESS. And in two of those three days I've had people asking about my nationality.

SCENARIO ONE:
"Are you Chinese?"

"... Yes...?"

"Aiyoh, China woman!"


SCENARIO TWO:
"Are you Chinese?"

"... No...?"

"Aiyoh, foreigner!"


Yeah, thank you very much, xenophobes. What the hell am I supposed to answer when someone asks me that question? (Given that I hate speaking and would love to only give a one-word reply.)



Anyway, I think my work ethics were destroyed by the internet before they even had a chance to form. I had always read about people surfing the net or playing games while working, so naturally, I started doing that during the very first hour of work in an office. The thing that bothered me the most about a restaurant job was that I'd never heard of anyone slacking in a restaurant!!!

Damn you, Jack! Was this your idea of a joke, to set up a place?? And what is with the christmas songs anyway? They're enough to make me hate christmas!
