Not a waitress
2004-08-03 4:13 p.m.

I'm not a waitress anymore.

I just finished my last shift at Kristina's, and I'm more bummed out that I would have expected. I'm trying to tell myself that this is what I've wanted for too damn long to get all maudlin now, and think about all the painintheass regulars that are simply no longer part of my world, but it's still hard. Meh.

The next two weeks are going to be hardest. For the past seven years, I've always had money just lying around. It's going to be hard to get used to not having that. Even at the casino, where I was supposed to turn in all of my tips, I always had the option of keeping five bucks if I miscalculated a little and desperately needed gas before payday. I know that once I start getting paychecks it will all be OK, better in fact, but making it to that first payday will be strange.
