This pregnancy has been the toughest yet. With the nausia, vomiting and total exhustion; not a whole lot of my summer 'to-do' list has gotten done. When my boss told me she was taking a vacation week this week, and that I needed to work for her, I was a little less than excited. I just didn't think I had it in me! Wednesday nights at the Conservation Club is wing night. (For those of you who are not native New Yorkers.... it's a fairly popular thing for bars and restarants to have chicken wing special nights). Anyhow, it's one of the busier days at the Club, and people kept telling me they were coming in for wings. I KNEW it was going to be nuts at work. I didn't realize HOW nuts last night was going to be though! Half of the town seemed to be there. All at the same time. All wanting drinks and dinner 10 minutes ago. Usually, I am in my element on busy nights, and can roll with it, but last night, I was tired and nausius, and achy and sore and just not in the mood. I TRIED to be nice, but some of the regular customers didn't try quite so hard. So. When one of my regulars came in and got in my face it was pretty much it. I threw a beer chip at his head and told him he was now at the bottom of the waiting list untill his attitide changed..... I have to admit, it was the first time in over 5 years of employment at the Club, that I threw anything at a customer. And it felt good! It took him 20 minutes, but all of a sudden, he was sweet as pie, nicely asking if I could take his order when I had time? All I could hear for the rest of the night was "Well, she IS pregnant you know...." and the understanding nod of the head, followed by 'Ohhh!' like, that explained it all.
I don't think Tina will be going on anymore vacations while I am pregnant!
