first of all, you don't speak spanish, stfu. secondly, maybe the busser speaks english, asshole.

just like certain people i've worked with think that they can say anything and the bussers/food runners/kitchen staff won't understand them. these people know more than you think and just because they speak a different language doesn't mean they're stupid/retarded. ]]> Minimum Rage peliroja http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4824-customers-talking-to-bussers http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4822-coming-home-from-buying-a-pizza...?goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:37:40 GMT and i took a sidestreet near my house when i saw a police car.then another ,and another ,and another.....all told there were twelve squad cars on... and i took a sidestreet near my house when i saw a police car.then another ,and another ,and another.....all told there were twelve squad cars on that street.

now i know that when two squad cars show up someone is going to jail for an outstanding warrant or another car shows up as backup for a routine stop when there's trouble and most likely the driver leaves the scene in the backseat of the backup car and spends a night in jail(or longer depending on the situation).

when there was an unexplained death at a house in my city the street was taped off and five cars were present on the scene.it was later determined an individual was murdered at that location.


so i'm interested in opinions of what this situation might have been that required the presence of more police then there were at a murder scene a few short years ago.... ]]> There Will be a Short Wait for A Table multitasker http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4822-coming-home-from-buying-a-pizza... http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4820-I-love-freecycle.?goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:25:04 GMT We've reno'd our deck and it's almost finished!
There was a ton of old wood that we estimated costing about 400 dollars to get rid of.
So I put up an ad on freecycle and this older man came and took it all. He's invented this wood heater to heat his home and water and he's made it all out of free stuff. So he will burn lots of it. The smaller nice bits he plans on making toys out of.
He also took other things that we would have thrown away, old strappings etc.
I love that it didn't cost anything for us and that he seemed so pleased.
We have advertised on there before with great success to get rid of stuff. One dude even came and got our old broken tv. He said he was a tinkerer. Another dude came and got old electronic stuff. He was going to electronic school and needed some projects.
I gave an old but good bed to a dad that needed one for his son and gave a gorgeous couch set to a family in need.
It's a great feeling and costs nothing. ]]> There Will be a Short Wait for A Table kaz http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4820-I-love-freecycle. http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4818-SC-Bitter-meetup?goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:58:41 GMT Going from Charleston to Greenville on Wednesday.

Yes.. ok so i made my grand exit a few months ago due to many cases of the weirdness...but for the time being i am back....mostly because chickie is physically all up im mah grill about coming back...but..also.. this bitch needs an outlet... so here i am once again. i'm 'finna break it down to you cats all ghetto/essay style..are you ready?..here it goes:

What i have done:

well i passed my WSET classes and i am certified on the first 2 levels of that...i took my entry level Sommelier and passed that and now i am working on my Society Of Wine Educators cert..my boss @ job #1 is paying for all that stuff so i am rockin it out and getting certified for free...so that's all good. i am tasting and learning all about this wine stuff ...but it is most satisfying and amazing and i am definitely developing my palate...

Where have i been:

I have been all across the country bitches..and let me tell you..Texas....well texas is not my friend...I DROVE all the way from OR to FL in my most amazing car ...with no AC and i think i had quite possibly the most irritating passenger all the way down...it was, a nightmare...she needed make up every 5 mins, she had to txt the whole time, we were driving through one of the most horrible storms i have ever had to deal with and she was text fighting with her ex the whole time....so lame....any how we made it and....

I HAD TO KICK A BITCH OUT:

so this chick and i made our Grand journey down here...and my amazing friends let us stay with them...but while i was getting 2 jobs and generally kicking ass...this bitch was lounging by the pool and inviting ple to come stay at MY friend's house...which was not cool so i nipped that in the bud and told her....she needed to GTFO...

I didn't know what that meant so I just made him a margarita. When I gave it to him he asked if it was mean, to which I responded with a grimace and my best Mr. T "grrrrr". But I got to thinking how would I know a mean margarita if I ever crossed one? So I came up with a top 5 list which probably aren't nearly as funny as they sounded as I was bouncing them off my co-workers, which they probably didn't find funny either but they humour me, and hopefully you all will too.

5. The margarita borrows 20 bucks and your car to go to the store, he crashes your car, runs out of gas and leaves it in a bad neighborhood.
4. The margarita punches a hole in a condom, has sex with your daughter, then skips town to start a band when he finds out she's pregnant.
3. The margarita sends you to get coffee, then has anal sex with your wife and wipes his dick on your pillow and you toss and turn all night from the caffeine and wake up with a dirty sanchez.
2. The margarita has sex with a hooker on your bed, then laughs while watching your girlfriend break up with you because you can't explain how she got crabs.
1. The margarita twists his own teeth up with pliers just so he needs braces. Then he bends up the braces to make a lot sharp edges. Then he gets himself addicted to heroine. Then quits cold turkey. Just as he feels the DT's coming on he offers to go down on you. ]]> There Will be a Short Wait for A Table The Reverend http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4816-That-s-one-mean-margarita http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4819-Favorite-Childhood-Books?goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 08:13:38 GMT Mine is Dr. Suess.

Does anyone else have this dilemma? l have too much faith in my own abilities and memory to ever write anything down when I am trying something new. Usually turns out OK but right now I am so mad at myself. I recently made a felafel type dish (pan-fried rather than deep fried with sauteed veggies and herbs in them) and I figured I'd remember what I did but I cant and now my attempt to replicate has resulted in a bowl full of mushy chick pea crap. I tastes great but won't cook properly. I finally resorted to putting the whole mixture in a casserole dish and baking it. If it works I`ll cut it into cubes and pretend I meant to make square felafel. ]]> ronnie http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4814-Recipes...WRITE-THEM-DOWN-DAMN-IT http://bitterwaitress.com/forums/showthread.php/4813-requiem-for-detroit?goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:26:58 GMT just watched it. the filmmaker put it up on youtube for those who don't have access to bbc (like me! thanks, guy!). not on netflix yet.

at first i thought of a gift card to baby gap but the kid will outgrow those clothes very quickly i'm sure.


most of the time i tend to give practical items as gifts but i'm at a loss this time for a gift that won't be outgrown but that will be appreciated and used on a regular basis.


i guess a pint glass probably isn't appropriate in this situation....lol.
