Note
Mother's Day: Carson's busiest day. Eleven hour shift, no break. Started 1:00 p.m., hit the wall by 6:30 p.m. The hours from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. were very, very hard. Feet hurt, must sit, stare blankly, get up again, re-fill another Coke, bus another plate, more...
F@&$
A month ago I ate way too much cake for several days in a row. I put on two pounds. I have spent the past three and a half weeks working on losing that two pounds, which I can usually do. It's not working this time. I haven't lost those two pounds and I've gained a...

Carson’s – less business than in past years
What the hell....? I'm getting the word that there are at least two conventions in town this weekend and a food show, but Carson's has NOT been nearly as busy as it should be. Friday night I brought home $65. Saturday night I brought home $77. That's pathetic! People...
Cramps and Housekeys
What a night. It started with quite a bit of pain that I knew I had to get rid of it before my shift ("monthly" pain, no big deal). The (male) pharmacist recommended Aleve which I'd never taken, but I urgently needed to be pain FREE for my Friday night shift at...

Penises

Why Are There Catholics?
Funny how my 4/19/05 post on the pope ("Benedict XVI") was all of two and a half lines long, but received quite a bit of commentary. I'd like to consider Lon's in particular. He wrote, in part: Why do so many people cling to Catholicism when they don't really try to...
Potential Date
We had emailed several times and it was our first phone conversation. Every few minutes, his narration would slow down as he'd get to the end of what he had to say on the topic at hand (how often he sees his family, how he likes to exercise, where he works, etc.). At...
There Are No White People In Chicago
I’m a third-generation Mexican American and originally from California, but I’ve lived in Chicago for 12 years. One of the most startling differences between the two places is that there are no “white” people here. People who look white to me, and who would be called...
