First I would like to vent about my job at Peafections. I have worked there for 4 stinkin' years and have always liked it, but lately it's only been pissing me off. The manager is the biggest bitch ever. I mean, if you didn't work with her she would seem like the nicest lady but when you're her fellow employee it's like hell. My boss has been out for a while because she had surgery and I want her to come back sooooo bad. Without her there, the manager has total range to be as big of a bitch she wants to be. She's in charge. One example: I had a phone in my pocket and it started ringing when I was just reaching out to grab two bowls of soup to take to table. My manager was behind me and yelled at me to answer the phone. I was obviously doing something, you weren't, so why did I have to answer it? I dropped the bowls and answered the damn phone like she said. That was only the first thing though. She yelled at me for EVERYTHING I did. I apologize for not being a good waitress helper anymore aparently. I have been doing things the same way...dumb bitch. Also, she KNEW that I had to work at Applebee's at 4 so I needed to be off by 3. When 3:00 came along and I was about to clock out, what did she do? She made everyone meet so all the servers could complain about everything I did wrong. She like went in a circle so everyone could talk and when she got to me I wanted to say something like, "I don't really feel like this meeting was arranged for MY opinions to be heard, it was just for YOURS, so I have nothing to say." I did not end up saying what I wanted to of course. I said, "I have no complaints except for disagreements." I could have screamed ather, but I knew that there was no use arguing. SHE is ALWAYS right. I was almost late to Applebee's because of her. Once again, dumb bitch. I can't stand working there anymore because I can't stand the manager!! I want to quit really bad, but I don't want to do that because I feel like I owe my boss. She hired me when I was 14 and has allowed me to only work Saturdays! I don't know..it's a sore subject obviously.
Okay, now that I've blabbed on about how much I hate the manager of Peafections, I'll go on with my blog. Tonight was the reunion party for the kids that went to France last Summer. Only 5 of us showed up, but it was still a load of fun, of course! We ate quiche, poutine, chocolate mousse, french bread and cheese, and chocolate fondue! It was so delicious and all of the working out I did today was thrown away...for a good cause I guess. After we ate, madame projected all of our pictures from the trip so we could look at them and reminisce. One of the pictures being me and Vincent (my french guy) kissing. Hey, I'm not ashamed! France was really the best thing that's happened to me. It was the greatest experience of my life! I made new friends in another country...two countries counting the Australians we met in Dordogne, and became close with the girls I went with. I don't mean to sound cheesey, but that trip changed my life! I'm so thankful to be lucky enough to get to go and to host my French pen pal in America as well! My english teacher was talking the other day about his "escape route", meaning the place he goes in his mind when life gets rough, and mine is definitely France. Whether it's Dordogne with Alyssa and Kyle and Allison and Allie, and the Booth sisters, or Vincennes with Alma and Vincent, France is my "escape route." I'm done being cheesey and nostalgic now, but here's some pictures from my trip :
