Chapter 8

The Axyz was really a good place. The workers that works here are kind and there's no seniority in this job. It's a nice working environment. Fit right in this job. The only major downside, because Axyz is on Philadelphia. I now have to use the subway or busses every time I go to work. And sometimes... it can be very tired. But it is the chalenge.

Nadine father, Mr.Martin accepted my application this morning. About my payment, I just straight up saying yes, on Mr.Martin offers. Getting a job in here was a blessing and I don't want jinx it. Besides the money is already good. Be patient and be ready my future self. You will ask for the raise in the future.

Anyway, we came up on an agreement. Mr.Martin put me on the night shift schedule again. Am I everyone night shift guy!? Well I guess I'm the face you want at your place at night shift guys. So my work starts at 6 pm until 10 pm. My official time of work was on usual days. Monday until Friday. But Mr.Martin said, oftenly in weekends he needed more staff. So he told me to also be ready on weekends. But it's non obligatory, you can say no to the weekends shift. And for some reason, he also told me this.   

" Don't overdue it, or your life will be left behind. Some advice from me kid.", said Nadine father earlier this morning when I got accepted.

Until now that advice doesn't meant anything... I'm kidding. Man does it still ringin in my head!    I don't know how I feel about that advice. In some ways it was pretty much true but... meh. I needed the money. Good news is that I can start working from this weekend. Wuhhh!!! Somebody give me a cookie! 

I'm excited about this job!

I told Violet about the news of my new work today as a waiter in the Axyz, and she didn't quite liked it. She said, 

"If that's the case, then now we can't meet together on weekend. Weekend is the only time spare that we have Evan."  

I don't know, lately we have a lot of minor fights. Usually it's about my working time, or sometimes it's about her full schedule on campus activity due to her doctor stuff. Lately our time always crashed on.

I know it's wrong to think about this but lately, I feel like Violet doesn't care about me. I feel like we have this rift between us now. A time rift. It was just different, I guess we haven't figured this whole stuff. Me and my friends didn't see a lot to this days. And I'm kinda missed them. Maybe it's time for us to hangout again. I guess this problem that I have with Violet was the same. Because we haven't spent time together lately.

Today is my first time at work, and not like my expectation working as a waiter at Axyz really need patience and quick thinking, quick movement, and little French language. All must be quick and well paced. Luckily I had help from my co-worker. Can you guess who? Yes it's Nadine, this girl keep surprising me. She said that she loved being a waiter. And she clearly have more experience than I do.

Apparently some elderly couple almost cause me trouble today. They are one of the regular costumer that have been eating here for years, they are from France and they spoke French. Which is Ouii Pavorr. I had a lot of trouble translating their language, but luckily Nadine came up and helped me with the costumer. They both spoke French for a while and just laugh it off. I can only smile embarassed at them, waiting their order.

Well there goes my first work impression. ( The idiot night shift guy )

Nadine said the ordered food from the elderly couple and I went back to the kitchen telling the ordered food to the chef. The rest of it, I think you know the drills for the rest of the night. The same routine for waiter. That night I realized something. That I am handsome... lol. No I realized, I need to learn French. Por favor madame.
