Big News

Well, it's big news for me, anyway. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and have decided that come September, I'm going to need some more time to myself and to spend with family. So after 8 years, 3 restaurants, thousands of customers, and an infinite number of frustrations, this waitress is hanging up her apron! I have officially given my 2 weeks notice, and am ready to focus on other parts of my life. No, I haven't gotten a fulltime teaching job yet, but I'm going to try my best. And if I don't, I will just sub as much as I can. And I really want to have all my weekends off to enjoy life, not be too exhausted all the time to do anything. It's nerve-wracking because I'm letting go of my safety net. But I've realized that having a little disposable income is not worth losing my sanity. So I will hopefully rediscover my sanity after a very hectic summer at the restaurant, and turn my attention to my career. Wish me luck!

Well Lor I think you will like not waitressing anymore, I know did. Missed the pay cheques and tips a little but it was worth it. I wouldn't worry about not having a lot of sub-teaching if it comes to that. One of my friends did that all last yr in NB and she worked 5 days a week. So I am sure things will all work out for you, and you will have more family time. :)
