As most of you know I am a waitress at a place called the "B O" And let me tell you, being a waitress aint the free and easy money flow that you may think it is. Do not get me wrong it is better money then I could ask for right now. The restaurant is very flexable with my time I put in. But there are some things I have saccraficed.
MY WEEKENDS. If you think I have any sort of a social life, you are sorely mistaken. I am best friends with my work buddies, and if I am not at work I tend to talk about work. Sometimes It is fun to just have a laugh at there, but it literally follows me home EVERY NIGHT. I only am "BUSY" for two to three hours, and hopefully the people who sat in my section threw me a bone while I served them.
MY WARDROBE. Instead of buying cute clothes that I can wear on any normal day. I buy stuff for work. Like a little boys white collerd shirt pressed everyday of course. Black Dress Pants, Black non slip shoes with black socks black belt an ugly "ENJOY" apron and tie that I had to purchase myself. Not to mention that I have to have my hair UP and away from peoples food. Apparently hair in the food isnt a good thing.
If I take a week off of work for vacations or something. There goes a whole weeks worth of tips. I have to be there to make the money. I am rendered useless without time spent in brickoven.
I MAKE NOTHING IN A PAYCHECK. The managers usually hunt me down to give me my paycheck. I have realized it aint worth my time to go and pick it up anymore. The paycheck says "VOID" instead of a money ammount. Because brickoven only pays me 2.13 and by law I need to claim my tips and out of all the money I make brickoven takes the taxes out of my paycheck. I do not recieve a paycheck ever.
My faith in humanity severly has decreased. I cannot believe a LOT of people that go to brickoven. I understand it is a family restaurant, but cmon I need to pay my bills too! I am living off of what YOU tip me. When I do not get tipped my whole day slowly goes down hill. Which is what I am getting to. If you cannot afford at LEAST a 20% tip PLEASE ORDER TAKE OUT It is not fair to me, or any other server to do that to us. Because think about it, I have to tip out a busser and an expoditer. There are other restaurants that tip out more than just that. And everything that is said in this artical that I borrowed off of Abbie's page is SO SO TRUE.
"As America - and Utah - cinches the proverbial belt tighter this year and looks for ways to cut back, I have one helpful suggestion: If you can't afford to tip well, don't go out to eat in a restaurant with a server.
I fear that many labor under the illusion that food servers lead a singular life of luxuriously high wages because of the short-sighted arithmetic employed.
"What? Twenty percent of $70 is $14? I've only been here an hour and she has four tables! Plus, she's getting paid hourly! That's more than I make at a real job!"
WRONG!
Servers in Utah make $2.13 an hour. Not a typo. Two dollars and change. That sort of covers taxes. As a server, my paychecks were somewhere between $5 and $20.
Servers come in to an empty restaurant and stay behind in an empty restaurant long past the time you are there. They earn virtually nothing for most of the night while waiting for the dinner crowd to arrive, then work like crazy for a couple of hours, when hopefully, but not usually, their section will be full. After the rush is over, they clean and wait for patrons to leave and make very little money for the rest of the evening.
Servers share their tips with the bussers and bartenders [and sometimes expediters or hostesses] . This is usually a set percentage of their gross sales. You could safely assume that if you leave a 20 percent tip, your server actually is netting about a 15 percent tip. If you leave a 15 percent tip, your server is getting around 10 percent.
And finally, let's not forget the campers - hanging around and chatting for hours. If a server has four tables in his section, and you decide to hang out all night, you personally monopolized 25 percent of his earning potential. Did you leave extra? Didn't think so.
Times are tough. People need to conserve. I agree. Go ahead and conserve at upscale fast food or at home.
And finally, if you harbor under the ridiculous notion that being cheap is a virtue, shame on you."
By: Greg Rockwell
So next time you go out to eat. Think about these things.

Come Together
Christmas has came and gone. I would say it was one of my better christmas's. I love being with my family, as much as they mostly drive me nutty to the point where I want to rip my hair out and eat it, I cant help but be happy and always lauging while they are around.
ON christmas eve I had to go to work (boo I am a slave to the grind) But it was actually so so busy! I made 100 bucks for a 5 hour shift!!! I was positivly shocked. I mean what kind of family tradition involves brickoven at Christmas time. It is beyond me. I actually saw some people that I used to go to elementary school with, which was a trip and a half. How crazy it seems when everyone grows up! I was busy beyond reason so I didnt get to talk much but all the same it was nice to see them. I came to my mommas house and opened my PJ's and they were UTES sweat pantsYES I am aware that this is not a picture of my Pj's but you get the idea. I woke up christmas morning because MY DOG was at my door and whining to go out. I guess he wanted to open his christmas presents
I gave my parental units some presents that I did not wrap, so I grabbed a box opened it and placed either half over what I was giving them. It was real nice they didn't have to unwrap anything, just lifted the box up! I went and visited the Griggs and gave them some See's Candy. Which by the way if you havnt had See's candy before YOU NEED TO TRY THEM! I will take you and buy a piece because it is soooo good! They gave me a movie, which I had never seen until today. I watched it with my mommaIt was better than I expected it to be, but I was just happy to see the Griggs. Sue is an awesome lady! The whole family is awesome, and to just see ONE of the Griggs is better than nothing. Well then I went to my grandpa John's house and we were all about to eat some good ole fashion dinner when MR GRIGGS himself called. The whole family got to talk to him... well a little, he was on speaker phone. I know his famliy (myself included) were sad to not get him on christmas, but He will be here in no time at all now! After dessert we drove home and went to bed. Which was awesome, cause I stayed up all night watching movies on MY NEW IPOD!!!! It is a 120gb and with all my music and movies it hasnt even made a dent in all the amounts of space left on there.
I hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS. Now it is time to be thinking of what to do for New Years, and some Resolutions!
Come together by the beatles. I figued everyone was coming together as families and stuff it seemd like an appropriate title.

I am a little bummed because I didnt know that was how It was going to go. Anyways I am glad I asked for the 23rd off because I do have to go christmas shopping some time before christmas is over. Looks like i have a busy week and a busy day tomorrow mostly.

- My father, he always says he wants something lame like pants... he gets gift cards because I dont want to buy the man clothing
- MYSELF :)
- No, I could go to a church and see it.
- I do not believe in such rituals
- A candle... I believe they know I have electricity, and if my apartment smells they should just tell me.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie?
- How the grinch stole christmas with jim carrey
- When I see something that I think they would like

- I have never traveled on christmas, I think I would prefer to stay home

All the small things.
I found out today... and this weekend, that I do have some really good friends that I didn't think I had. I thought all this time, I was the only one who had any compassion, and felt bad for people, and that I was the listener friend who wasn't allowed to have a bad day... to talk about anyways. With my current money situation, I am not financial stable as of right meow. Mostly with my stupid car but my friends I suppose thought it would be funny (and it was just a joke people) to start a Heather Fund (psh like I am a charaty case) But the thing is they really did... it was only a couple bucks... which added up to 50 but I was oh so grateful. I just wish I had a better way to say thank you to (brett, chris, steph, and nat) You all really shouldn't have but at the same time you have no idea how much this means to me. I am forever grateful, and I will always be there if you ever need anything! Love you guys! (as I wipe away a tear of happiness bahaha I have a LEAK dont judge me.)
Abbie and myself threw an awesome gingerbread house making party which was... awesome. I for some odd reason did not take pictures... how utterly UN CONVIENIENT! But of the gingerbread houses left here are some pictures to OOGLE at! I also picked up my guitar from my home and let Cara's husband play. He is really really good! I kind of suck and can only play like the intro to songs, or Johnny Cash songs. But I love to play it so I been pluckin away for the past couple hours. All in all I belive it was a successful brickoven party. Cause Abbie and I are the best party planners in the world... of brickoven.

Stay where I can see you
So, I dont think people realize how much it sucks to have a boyfriend who is not in the same zipcode let alone the same country, SOOooOOOooOOooOooOoo. Let me explain. When you hang out the burrito to taco ratio is usually one off... considering I am not interested, so they dont think to invite anyone to come hang out with me as well. So I would have to find some friend to take with me or something, but I DONT, because I am so dumb to think, this time it'll be different. See I think that its just going to be a big group together having some fun, but it isnt. Couples break off and I am left. So I end up being the third wheel, or the fifth wheel, or the seventh, wheel...so on and so forth. It makes me very lonely and very ... well just lonely. Even though there are people around, they are only talking in couples, not to everyone. I feel like this sucks. I mean, why can't people go out in groups and not couple up. especially if the burrito- taco ratio is not equal? I could care less, but it is nice to just have someone to talk to so you dont feel soo left out. Anyways about my day (oh you will just LOVE this) I stayed at home the other night to go early to get some spa treatment... which was to put it lightly AWESOME. I felt so relaxed and happy. Very comfortable. I had to drive fast... but carfully to home to get to work ontime. I worked for a few hours and made... like 10 bucks an hour. Then I hung out with some friends... and when I went back to my car... it was gone. :( Guess what that means!! yay for tow trucks!! (grrr) Meaning I am out a lot of money to pay my car's bail. On my own stupid fault. I was supposed to get grahm crackers for tomorrow but NOW I am left without a car. My friends took me home (thank you!) and NOW ... here I am stranded. I have always had my car it is like... my escape. When I get upset or I need space I drive. For hours and hours. I once drove to st george... just to turn right back around. I love my lil car! If you dont know the story behind my car check out my other blog right hurrrr. It's like my good day just went down the disposal because I parked too long ... (actually only a half hour over) So yeah if you are wondering how I am getting my car back. My bestfriend Brett Slade. (He is seriously the most coolest down to earth dude I ever met and I am so glad he is in my life because he has helped me out by keepin my head strait and driving me to this stupid place to pick up my car tomorrow) Anyways he is gonna get me tomorrow to get it for me... I owe him some home made cookies or something now.
BY THE WAY. I miss Dave +
Well that is my day, pretty crappy but I will get over it... and to pay my fine, i will be picking up more shifts at the B. O. Soo if you go to brickoven, I bet you 5 bucks you will seee me there... seriously bet me... I need the 5 bucks!!
stay where I can see you by the starting line. I really like this band, but mostly just the song. It kind of represents how I feel about... a certain... boy... who is not... here... right now... but he will be check the countdown PUNK!!!

Be my escape
I am so in a good mood today. Which is odd because I worked a double shift at the B. O. BUT i made 140 bucks for all day... and i worked about 9 hours... so that is about 15 bucks an hour. Most the time if you are on a double you get put in early out sections and you get sent home early and you are there for like 4 hours and make like 30 bucks. So this is a really good day today. Now the only way it would get better is if Lance Corporal Griggs would get online so I could tell him I missed him today. I bet he knows, but it is nice to be reminded I hear. So I am going to sleepover at my moms house friday, which will be nice to sleep in a cozy bed instead of this hard as rock one. Then I am getting a facial that my momma is paying for. YAY. I have never had one so I hope it is nice and relaxing. I need a relaxing day so super excited.
I decided I need a hobby and since I loved my dance classes so much in school, I am going to find a dance team to join, I think that will help me keep motivated to work out and also I just love doing that stuff. I also need to go to UVU again here soon so I can figure out my financial situation so I can get back to school. I think that would be best. =)
I am sending some christmas presents to Japanland here shortly. Like this coming week. I hope he likes them... if not I bet he lies so that I feel good about it. Bahhahaha. JK.
Well I am sick and need sleep meow.
Be my escape. I just love relient K and that is what I have been listening to the past like 3 days? Anyways I just like this song. If you dont like relient K, well.. dont tell me

Back to good
I had a loverly talk with Stanager the manager. I realized that work stays at work, and home I can just be at home. I need to not let things get to me. I know what happened, and everyone can just get over it. I am who I am and there aint nothing that I can do about that. Hate me if you want to and Love me if you can. I am super excited for January 27th to see mr griggs again. I have nothing to do tomorrow, but I bet I will start making a list of things to do starting with taking back my extremely LARGE t shirt I bought for work, I bought boys shirts last time, and they are XL and they dont fit quite well, but I realized that they are XL in KIDS. I got an XL in mens and ohhhh boy! NO offence but it is HUGE so im going to exchange it for an XS, and hopefully it will fit better. I am going to try and be a better employee and not get wrapped up in everyones drama anymore, I can be there as a friend for anyone, but I want no part in it. OH and NO MORE GOSSIP FOR ME. I will never say one more bad thing about people about work, I will not seek to find out what is going on with who, and I just dont want to know anymore. I am done stressing about all this dramarauma. I will go back to being oblivious and not wanting it any other way! OORAH!
Tomorrow should be a good en.
back to good by matchbox 20. Considering I am trying to restore my happiness factor back at work, I need to focus on getting back to good. hense the title

In my bloodstained sundays best
Congrats to Abbie for being employee of the year! (wootwoot) The Brickoven kindly rented out mirical bowl for us to bowl and eat food at. It was fun and i hate bowling but it was fun because its not like anyone really cared about who won. Which was awesome. I didnt win anything, but I wasnt concerned with that. I got to just relax and have some fun with people I actually like to be around. I went to AE after to say hi and show them my hairs! They loved it. I went home and played with my puppies and hung out with the parents. I would say today was a purty good day!
A walk through Hell by Say Anything. OK if you dont mind a bit of swearing Say Anything is one of my favorite bands EVER. This song is like totally awesome! You should check it out got it!?

Let It Die
Do you ever think of me? You're so considerate...
Do you ever wonder is someone so immature that they cant even un focus their own little bubble to be considerate of others? I know I am not all girly, I dont like going clubbing, dancing whatever! But just to be asked would be nice. I would ask you to be nice. HELL I asked people I don't even like to the movies, regardless to the fact that they declined I still was nice enough to ASK. WTF is wrong with everyone lately. The drama is insane! The wispers are driving me crazy. I am so bugged with all these girls and boys its REDICULOUS!
Work sucked, and everyone knew it. I miss dave, I cant think strait. I wish he would just come home now! (yes please) I am so lonely, I mean hell it isnt like I NEED a best friend, but it would be convienient. Just to be able to talk to someone about anything and KNOW it wasnt going anywheLF,re. I have thought I have had best friends in the past, and they just turn out to be friends. I always read those "friend and a true friend" things. Like a friend would bail you out of jail, a true friend would be sitting next to you saying WE SHOWED HIM. (or something of that nature) I never realized how true it is. Except I dont have a best friend, so I can only compair the ones that are just friends. I wish I had a best friend, I think I should start taking applications, OH wait. I wouldn't get any.
Disregard everything I am saying. I am just having a pity-party. The only person invited is MYSELF so please dont take anything I say to heart, just had a bad day.
Let it die by the foo fighers. Foo Fighters, are EPIC. They have a killer drummer and I love all of their albums and songs and EVERYTHING. If you dont like foo fighers well F. U. haha jk but seriously

You're gonna go far kid
This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad.
For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter from
him to his Dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful
for not only the Marines, but ALL of our troops.
THE MARINE
We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.
In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.
Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life,
So you can live the American way.
I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.
But still I fight on,
I don't bitch, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people
Who is doing your time.
I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!
So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won.
Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor.
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.
But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done.

Hey Dad,
Do me a favor and label this "The Marine" and send it to
everybody on your email list. Even leave this letter in it. I
want this rolling! all over the US; I want every home reading
it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you
please send this for me? I would but my email? time isn't that
long and I don't have much time anyway. You know what Dad?
I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK
said in His inaugural speech.
"When the time comes to lay down my life for my country,
I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it."
Well, now I know. And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity
to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful
wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would
do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made
for my home.? I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish
I could be there! when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I
love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give
Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.

I found that on someone's myspace today, I thought it was a killer poem. Considering Boy is in the marines, I found the poem fitting to put on my page.
I need a back massage like no other. I think somone should want to do that for me... anyone? anyone at all? oh... shoot. I really do need one though I am so tired of work, and being stressed, just everything. I am getting my hair done tomorrow which is exciting, as you might see I have a poll where you guys could give me your imput on what I should do with my hair. Except the fact I am doing it tomorrow so if you dont vote today, well I'm gonna do what I want anyways. But I wanted more peoples opinion. I am slighly nervous about it. I hope it isnt un attractive. I bet it wont be.
I cannot wait to move home. UGH. I am sorry but I cannot take it anymore the bed sucks, the building is stupid, my room is small, the apartment is always messy, no one seems to give a damn, shit gets stolen, food goes missing. I am just done! I cannot wait for may so I can move home. I will then save a bunch of money go to school and buy a car. That sounds like a good idea. Having a curfew is not such a bad thing. It kept me out of stuff I probably shouldnt be doing anyways, like staying up late! HA HA sounds obvous right?
HEY if you dont already know I have a second blog. Check it out here!
HAHA I got a lot of people laughing today. (which is probably my favorite thing in the world to do, but its from this comedian called Mitch Hedberg. This is my favorite one... check it out. He is hilarous! If you like him check out his other stuff.
ahh time for bed
your gonna go far kid by the offspring
I was listening to the radio and I liked this one but I wasnt listening to who sings it so I tried to find it on google and I could not. I kept typing in the lyrics I thought they were saying, but I found it eventually!
