I'm the same way, with waitstaff as well. But my experienced waiter friends always scoff and admonish me when I leave tips in excess of 25%. I'm juss tryin to be nice! They think I'm being walked on. But I'm not going to tip well if the waiter is going out of his way to be an asshat, which has happened.

I thought it might be clear from my previous post that the point I was hacking at is that even when I'm in a foul mood I maintain my philosophy of being as nice to people as possible at all times. Sorry if my implications were not clear enough.

I love people like that. I mean, I abuse the hell out of them, but they're great to have around. Like the Mormon guy I know who everyone just uses as an emergency designated driver.

I worked an 11 hour shift today! I am tired! Also our trolley boy totally got assaulted by a customer (the dude punched him twice) for reasons I do not understand, but the police came and everything! I do not think it was the trolley boy's fault.
Also it has been raining. And raining. And raining. The roads between Brisbane and Toowoomba were cut for a bit today from the rain! Our trucks were late because they were not allowed through. Hopefully I will be able to get to Brisbane tomorrow! I will not be so sad if I can't get home. Brett messaged me at like 2am this morning to inform me he had been dragged out of bed to dance in the floody river that was his street. I am going to drown this weekend! He told me to bring a snorkle!
Love Jodie

Last gin & tonic season my little middle-class heart was broken because the magnificent Juniper Green organic gin is no longer being imported into Australia.
Just a few moments ago, on the brink of gin & tonic season 2008/09, I've ordered a bottle of it online. A steal (a steal, I say!) at A$50, including shipping.
Yesssssss.

I still have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life.
