So I am not much of a blogger. I am usually wasting my time away on Facebook. I am not sure what to write about that would be of much interest to anyone. But I guess that is the point of blogging. It is just to get your feelings out there and talk about random things to clear your mind, I suppose? I was really frustrated with my internet yesterday because the wiring in my apartment building is so old and it randomly quits every now and then. Of course, I am then unable to log into my classes, which really frustrated me! But it is fixed now so I really cannot complain now.
I have to go back to work in about an hour and I am not looking forward to it. I hate waitressing more and more everyday. Maybe it is just the restaurant I work at. Or maybe it is the customers that can never seem satisfied. I should just tell them to go to Burger King where they can have it their way, but that would not be very nice. :)
Also, I am trying to quit smoking which just piles on the stress even more! I probably do not try hard enough, but it is a lot easier said then done. I know exactly what triggers my cravings, but I cannot seem to solve those triggers with anything else but to have a drag. They say it takes about 7-9 tries to quit until one finally gives it up, so we shall see. I think this is my 3rd try. :)
Hey blogging is pretty fun so far! Shall post later. Adios. :)
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeletegood luck on the quitting smoking thing,I did one time for 6 days and 7 nights.My problem was the coffee/cigarette combo.I also quit the coffee at the same time and suffered major withdrawal.One positive thing was on the 5th day of not smoking,I was folding laundry I was still able to smell nicotine through the Downey fabric softener,that made me realize how bad it really smelled.I could smell smoke on other people from quite a distance away.That should have been the incentive to never smoke again.The coffee broke me.Once the coffee brewed,the cigarette quickly followed.They really say hat cold turkey is the way to go.
I am also a waitress,like yourself.I love it but I'm currently unemployed.I worked at the same restaurant for 5 years but like everything else in Ohio,it closed.
Again,good luck with the quitting smoking.
Hello Sarah,
ReplyDeleteAlmost everyone in my family, including myself, has worked as a waitress at one time or another. My youngest daughter has a degree in Communications and then Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A., and has worked for Roxie as a swimwear designer. Guess what she is currently doing? You got it. Working as a waitress.
I was a smoker most of my life, although a moderate smoker, especially the last 10 years. I am proud to say I quit December 2008 and never smoked again. Now, I hate the smell on people, clothes, when I walk into a building where people smoke. It smells like dirty feet or a nasty barn. Yuk. I cannot tell you how much more energy I have, how I can now dance Zumba for an entire hour and be energized, how I have no more back-aches or chest aches or nasty coughing. Plus, I have a lot more money to spend on traveling and other luxuries like chocolate and hats.
I can even have a glass of wine without the desire to smoke. Life is a lot more enjoyable. I am just sayin'!
Well up until 2 weeks ago my only remaning vices were Mt. Dew and cigarettes (gave up sex, drugs and rock and roll) years ago. Well 2 weeks ago I gave up the Mt. Dew - yeah me(have lost about 6 lbs) but haven't had the strength to quit smoking yet which is really really stupid since I have high chlestrol and well as blood pressure and had a stroke 2 months ago - boo me!!!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I quit it is for about 3 months, and then of course I fall back into it. But I will not give up! Small steps. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the extra energy that I have whenever I quit for periods of time. It's weird how we know how bad it is for us but that knowledge simply isn't enough to quit because at the time we feel like it's not harming us. I used to work in a nursing home, and the residents that had smoked all their lives had so many problems it was sad. Still, this did not help me to quit to see them. I sometimes feel like I am so young and have plenty of time, but the sooner I quit the better. I turn 20 on June 27'th. I told myself that on that day I have to give it up for good. We'll see how that goes! ;)
