If you find the right one, it’s the best job ever. Free food and drinks, amazing gossip and new tea every day, so much human contact. I love serving I love bartending. You get to wear cute little outfits and flirt for tips. Finding the RIGHT restaurant is the key. many are shitty to work in. You gotta find one you believe in, if that makes sense.

something everything should do just once (if you don't enjoy it, just once is enough). you come to terms quickly with how humans treat one another. you don't matter as much as you think you do and come to understand that some work is just work. you might even get a chance to sort out your own hangups and internal thought patterns. you surrender to running around like an idiot sooner than you realize. the adrenaline pushes your limits in ways that are both funny and exhausting.you learn the value of a hard-earned fucking dollar/pound. no one really cares if you have this degree or that degree. there's someone there trying to feed their whole damn family off the check you're using to fund like studio time or catch a flight somewhere. I'm speaking to my experience in the UK where there are no gigantic gorgeous tips to be anticipated at the time of payment...just a service charge that people can just decided not to pay and you'd be surprise how many folks take it off. all this alone is humbling.

It’s underpaid, undervalued, strenuous, and sometimes hazardous labor. Go to restaurants that pay their kitchen staff fair wages and ideally also do tip sharing with the kitchen

In the running for probably my favorite book of all time. I wanted to be Anne so bad when I read this book for the first time when I was eleven. Since then I have reread this probably five or six times. The ultimate springtime read — makes you cool with being alive again . My copy is from 1968 and basically ripped in half. If you have a tendency to be a miserable bitch who feels sorry for themselves you need some Anne pronto. I will never watch the show or movie because the book is so perfect in my little mind I don’t want anything to ruin it. PEI is my ultimate destination.

I’ve famously always said June should be the first month of the year. It is when the year truly begins. I’m not even awake or paying attention to anything until the sun starts setting past eight. The anticipation of summer is over but you still have the whole thing in front of you.
