This book is probably old news to those who actually have time to read. I must admit I cheated today and went to the "Popular" shelf hoping something caught my eye. It's sad when I can't even brave the adult section of the library to find myself a good book that doesn't involve a hog and a dog playing ping pong or wiggle and waggle the worms playing in the garden. Anyways, a quick run by the 'popular' shelf I stumbled across Waiter Rant by The Waiter. It's based off of this waiter's blog - which I'm already totally addicted to - check it out! I've only managed 3 chapters, but that is 3 more chapters then I have read in months and it is a wonderful book. Not sure if I'll ever eat out again, and especially not with my mother-in-law who totally fits the 'bad' customer profile to a t! Anyways, have you read it yet? What did you think? Will you read it and talk to me about it in adult talk?! I'll even get on my knees and beg if that's what it take!

I followed that link to his blog and I spent an hour reading 2004-2005 entries. What a great read - and it totally reminds me of when I worked crap jobs in between undergrad and grad school.
I make sure to only visit the blog when I have a limited amount of time or I definitely would get stuck there! The book is based off of the blog and I am addicted. It's too bad my eyes are burning from NO sleep last night that I probably won't even be able to crack the book open today. Teething + cold = no sleep for mom or dad
My friend KP is a waiter, and his first [poetry] book just came out. I got it yesterday. In the MFA program he wrote a lot of waiter poems, and I'm told that a good chunk of his thesis ended up in the book, so...if you're really into waiter literature, you might want to check that one out:
Spring Hunger by Keith Liles.
Cool :) I never knew there was such a genre, but it is pretty interesting! So interesting, matter of fact, that I have yet to go to bed and rather then napping with the kids I read 3 more chapters before 1 decided to wake! Man, it's going to be a long night!
It seems lucrative. Maybe I should compile a bunch of Quality Inn front desk stories.
That would be entertaining, too. I remember a few of those drug stories you told us!
If writing wasn't such a hit or miss career and if I were any good at it I would be all over it. For now my lame blog will do!
I'm sad to say I've reached the half way point of the book and am struggling to finish it. I hate those books that start out awesome and turn to crap. So I'm hoping I can stick it out until the end, maybe it gets better at the end.
