My suggestion: ditch the gaudy sketchers and waste a nights pay on some new Mary-Jane's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148825577310744812006-05-28T07:12:00.000-07:002006-05-28T07:12:00.000-07:00When D had finished his hitch in the military, he ...When D had finished his hitch in the military, he burned his laminated ID card.

One of the highlights of our years in the tropics was when the club we both worked at (in different capacities) finally 'let' me waitress a few shifts when they were shorthanded. (They thought it was 'beneath' me, so didn't think I'd want to.) I ROCKED THE HOUSE, BABY! Drove that till up like you wouldn't believe. I kept telling them I'd waitressed back in the day, but they wouldn't believe me. I can totally see the merits of it...plus, as Melly said, more material. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148532132063017252006-05-24T21:42:00.000-07:002006-05-24T21:42:00.000-07:00I remember years ago having to wear regulation sty...I remember years ago having to wear regulation style shoes, only white nursing shoes were allowed.

There's something that pulls me into it. I waitressed for a while, and I don't think I'd go back to that, but I can certainly see where the attraction is for you. And there's something freeing in knowing you don't have to do it, I imagine.Shannon Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724093833220026696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148456018499028832006-05-24T00:33:00.000-07:002006-05-24T00:33:00.000-07:00Before I even read your piece I peered closer and ...Before I even read your piece I peered closer and said "Those are Sketchers."

It's been two years since I left the university, but my brain still measures time in semesters and breaks. <BR/><BR/>I think going back to waitressing (now with the freedom you have) is like dipping into an ongoing flow, one that you can step out of whenever you want. There is a continuity in the work, a rhythm and a season.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386655587963143782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148422151356603132006-05-23T15:09:00.000-07:002006-05-23T15:09:00.000-07:00Don't we just love doing it to ourselves?But, hey,...Don't we just love doing it to ourselves?<BR/>But, hey, listen, waitressing can supply you with more writing material, can't it?Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461471128865537538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148420363800957092006-05-23T14:39:00.000-07:002006-05-23T14:39:00.000-07:00very funny and i can relate, i just bought me anot...very funny and i can relate, i just bought me another pair.nw if the arm will only hold out. typinh with one hand.rdlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062856086277201874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1148417217451449052006-05-23T13:46:00.000-07:002006-05-23T13:46:00.000-07:00[Laughing...] Life is complicated enough, you woul...[Laughing...] Life is complicated enough, you wouldn't think they'd make it about the shoes, would you?
