"I work for the bla bla with a license to bla."

It's been awhile since I graced my own blog.Life has been hectic of late and I am perpetually tired and listless.But I am honing my skills as a waitress and I no longer feel so overwhelmed.
I have been waitressing on the floor for an entire week now,and so far it hasn't been overtly taxing.I wrote my waitressing test last Monday and I got 91%,so I was very pleased and my role play with the manager went extremely well.I am starting to have fun now and going to work everyday is less daunting now that I know the procedures and what is expected of me.Most days I see a customer in the restaurant that I know and that makes my day because it's a familiar face and everyone is keen to support Barracudas if they know an employee there.


Today is my parents 25th wedding anniversary.It is so encouraging to me.My parents are a wonderful example to me of a godly and loving relationship and I hope in the future to reach such a milestone when I myself get married.Their day was splendid.A trip to wine-estate,a delectable picnic,some mementos from the wine-estate,a delicious coffee cake upon their arrival home and then a funny action movie to end off the evening.What a wonderful way to spend such a momentous occasion with the one you love!


The movie,incidentally,was where I appropriated my title from.The movie centres around a dour but beautiful women vacationing in Nice,France with her overbearing parents.She meets this handsome young man and they begin their romance with it culminating in their betrothal.In their third year of marriage,she discovers that he is a professional assassin and there is 20 million dollar bounty on his head.When she furiously confronts him after an intense car chase and eventually death of one of the assassins demanding to know who he works for,he says,"I work for the bla bla with a license to bla."It was an hilarious moment in the movie and one of the best lines.I apologise for the un-inventive title,alas,my head cannot conjure up a more apt title for my blog post.


Enough for now.Ciao.

Much Ado about...Everything

This past week alone has been very eventful...
We went away for the weekend to help serve ladies on a homeschooling moms retreat.It was very both tiring and rewarding at the same time.The location was beautiful and we took many photos....

Before we left on Friday,I got a job working as a waitress at a new restaurant called Baracudas.I started this week on Tuesday,and so far it has been fun and exhausting!I much to learn and haven't as yet started working as a fully-fledged waitress by myself.I have to be trained first.I have to shadow a more experienced waitron and will work in bar,the pass(kitchen jargon for standing in the kitchen learning dishes) and in the kitchen itself in both the hot kitchen(where hot meals are prepared) and the cold kitchen(where cold dishes are prepared)I work long hours without food or rest but I know it will all be worth it when I get my first paycheck.Thank you Lord for giving me a way to save up for college and potentially my own car...

I wear a pristine uniform(A white and turquoise blue collared golf shirt,black pants,black shoes and a white apron armed with two black dinner service cloths,a white polishing cloth,a blue cleaning cloth,three pens,a calculator,a docket book,cash float and a wine opener) At this present moment,I don't have all the equipment,it will be issued to me when I am on the floor(Jargon for waitressing)Every piece is deducted out of my final paycheck at the end of the month.Boo hoo...This job is tough,there is a high standard to maintain and the managers can be very strict.Watch this space for more exciting news.

My day was made complete upon receiving my acceptance letter from UCT.I am officially going to college next year!Oh yeah.So thus far hath the Lord help me,he has made a path for me in every avenue I chose.What a great and mighty God we serve!
