mike and i spent last weekend in vermont. our theatre group was performing a concert of selections from musicals. mike and i didn't have to sing, but we did have a good time doing kitchen duty! i think i should have been a waitress.
is there any merit to the idea that everyone should be a waitress or work in a grocery store at some point? i think everyone i know has (this is your moment to say that you haven't...). something about working a job like that; it's so nickel and dimed.
i'm very much looking forward to harry potter on friday night. two things worry me: that someone in the line in front of me will get their book, flip to the end, and yell "he DIES??" and two: that i will be that person.

A friend of mine apparently already got his hands on a copy of the book and is the type of person that thinks it is funny to give spoilers, but I'm prepared for the fact that spoilers will probably be rampant soon after the book comes out and frankly I just never let it get to me because the bulk of the story isn't about a character dying or something like that, the bulk of the story is... the story.
Also: I've never worked in a grocery store or as a waitress.
I never worked as a waitress or in a grocery store either. Although I did my share of minimum wage jobs (mostly in libraries and then my stint at Hollywood Video).
Seeing as I'm going to have to wait for Dan to finish reading before I get my chance, I am probably going to have to avoid the internet like the plague for several days. But that's the price you pay.
I think that everyone should have to work some sort of customer service job, at least once. It helps you learn to deal with horrible people without screaming or throwing things or bursting into tears. Or, at least, it helps you learning to control the screaming and throwing and crying until it's safe to do so. It also gives you respect for other customer service workers.
So, done yet? I think I will finish tonight (got book at noon)
