Since we have to write about anything.   This weekend I am super excited for Saturday.  Saturday is the vintage snowmoblie races on fish lake.  The vintage races are old snowmoblies racing against eachother.  Many people come from all around for this event.  It is an all day event.  It starts at noon and goes on til its over.  Basically, when its the races are over its a big party event for everyone.  I’m excited because I used to work up in the area and I am going to know mostly everyone!  My friends and I are going to be bouncing around from place to place visiting with everyone and having a blast!  Can’t wait!!!

“Forced Off”

The assignment was to write about anything.  So, I am going to do so.  I am a waitress.  At my job I am schduled five days a week.  I am supposed to support myself off my tips that I earn.  These past few months I have been “forced” off friday nights.  Forced off means that there is a sign up sheet on the bullitin board and if no one signs up for it the lower in sonority gets to be forced off that night.  I am lower in sonority at my job.  There have been waitresses at my job that have been there up to 30 years.  So, you can only imagine how low I am in sonority.  To work weekends at any resturant is considered to be good money making weekends.  My point is that I am going to be forced off this friday.  Which puts me in a rutt.  I requested Saturday off.  So, I am not working at all this weekend.  Which really sucks, I depend on my tips.  Its nice to have a weekend off but, the fact is that I need money like everyone else.  I find it hard at times.  I want to go and find another job but there really is no point.  If I did find another job that would be the time when I actually would get to work weekends.  Sometimes I wish I could just win the lottery!  Than I wouldn’t have to deal with this problem at work.
