Snippets of these days… “So no kids, eh ? Hm. Probably you shouldn’t even have a boyfriend.” “You call me anytime. Middle of the night, whatever, you call me, 24/7”. ” You ought to watch yourself. Your mom’s here now and your grandma was here before her. Probably runs in the family”. “You sure you…Continue Reading “Snippets of these days”
It’s one of those nights again. And it is so clichè that it bores even me. But it seems that it takes one of these nights to make me sit down (because I can’t sleep and have nothing else to do) and finally write something. I had loads of blog-material, loads of moments and stuff…Continue Reading “Loop 3”
Mystery I was right beside my boss when the restaurant phone rang today. Somebody wanted to know the name of the tall blond waiter with the too-tight ponytail. My boss gave me a confused look, and I heard him say “her name is (insert my real name)” before the someone on the other end of…Continue Reading “Mystery”
I think I feel bored. And in no small couple-of-hours-to-kill-way. No, I feel bored in a big want-something-to-happen-or-I-might-make-it-happen-myself-way. It has been a while that I have been feeling restless, not really doing anything with my spare time. Not that I have much more of it than the next person, but my spare time starts when…Continue Reading “OMG?”
“So. K. You are sitting there all quietly in your corner. That’s what you are, yeah ? Very quiet and zen-like, is it ?” I swallowed the last of my champagne to answer (choking) “Well, no, not really. I am not zen-like at all. You totally misread me there.” She was very loud. And ugly,…Continue Reading “Zen”
– when your collegues greet you “Hi summergoddess!” for just wearing a dress to work – when a squiffy male guest approaches the bar and all of a sudden there’s 3 waiters behind you, asking pointedly how they may help? – when the cook hang out long after he’s off-duty, to ensure you’re going home…Continue Reading “You know you’re part of an all-male staff…”
I am restless again. It’s not my usual restlessness, that hits me in a matter of hours and that goes away in a matter of hours. I am sort of busy these days, don’t even have time to clean up and do my laundry. I am working a lot, and things are moving under the…Continue Reading “Restless”
I got to work at the restaurant today and realized we hadn’t many reservations. Actually, one person might handle them all, and two of us were working. So I changed from my suit back into jeans and my old t-shirt, and got to work in our courtyard while the other waiter; S took care of…Continue Reading “Spring?”
In spite of the lovely weather, I feel strangely drained for energy today. I’ve got this afternoons’ staffmeeting on my mind. When they appointed me personalechef , I sort of thought not much would change. I have always felt responsible for things going well in the restaurant and for our guest having a good time,…Continue Reading “Ilddåb”
It has been a long trip. And I am not done doing yet. I sort of waited for things to calm down enough to sit down and write a witty, clever blogpost about coming back to Denmark again, as promised (well the post at least =)). Seems though that things are nowhere close to calming…Continue Reading “Long way home”
