"is that a french fry or are you just happy to see me?"
-my manager, paul, catching me holding a stolen french fry, in a slightly perverted, yet.. responsible manner?
"i had to take this stupid test because i'm a manager. they didn't even give us materials to study for it. it took forever! note to self.. never take a test. ever."
-mgr michelle
paul - jess hears everything i ever say. when i say or do something that's under my breath, or i wish i didn't say so loudly, she's always right there and hears it!
michelle - oh brother.
me - i hear everything, but i don't repeat it!
paul - you know what she is, she's like.. a sponge.
michelle - she's a sssSPY!!
"i was having so much fun last night at work, and it all went downhill! first we looked through the hilarious photo album from when the store opened, then i sang the wrong birthday song at a table - and all the servers just let me do it solo since they didn't know the song, (frowns) thennnnnnnnnn i lost my keys, then i slept at chili's."
-jaci
"[a dumb girl we work with] asked me a stupid question earlier, and i was like nnhhhh go away, i don't wanna be stupid. i don't wanna catch it!"

a girl i had a few classes with in high school got killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday morning. i didn't know her well, but it's breaking my heart. it also scares me that death can be so real in people so young and/or people i saw fairly often. <3

(i yell across the window in the kitchen to jaci, who's doing the job of four cooks, in between shifts)
me - jaci, i'm going to barnes & noble on my break. do you want a coffee from starbucks?
jaci - no, i'm all set thanks.
me - okay.
jaci - actually, i didn't even hear what you said, and i'm way too busy to ask you to repeat it.
me - do you want coffee!?
jaci - ..YES!
(i picked up beverages for jaci & michelle, and would've had one for paul if he wasn't too busy cooped up in the office with his boss. paul's boss left, and paul complained that i didn't get him a coffee.. so we rubbed it in his face all night)
me - how was your hot chocolate?
michelle - oh, it was pretty good. actually, it was GREAT! because it made paul suuuuuuper envious! |

Guilherme: YEAAHAHHHHA AHHHAHAAAYYYYYYAEAHHHH PARTY IN MY PANTS
Chris: small party
me - you [brazilians] are all crazy.
dione - i'm not crazy, you're crazy. [americans] are crazy. brazilians are normal.
me - oh really? how come you came to america, then? you came to hang out with crazy people?
dione - we came to teach americans how to be normal.
(bartender jessica tugs on dione's pant hip while walking by. please read dione's lines in a brazilian accent.. it just makes it way better.)
bar jess - lookie no undies!! hahaha!!
me - ahhh! what!? do you really have no underwear on?
dione - what's wrong with no underwear?
me - oh man, seriously? dione, why don't you wear underwear?
dione - it can save you money. what's wrong with that? 100,000 years ago, there was no underwear.
me - there were also no clothes!
dione - sure there were. they wore clothes.
me - not jeans!! you're gonna end up with a rug burn!
dione - i have to pee. (leaves the kitchen)
candace - boy, i guess all this talk about underwear makes a guy really have to pee.
(he comes back)
dione - you can save a lot of money.
me - are you still talking about underwear?
dione - no.
me - then what are you talking about?
dione - saving money.
me - how? how else do you save money?
dione - ..not wearing socks.
(mgr michelle brings her son in to eat; i waited on them. she hands me a very decent tip.)
me - are you crazy? don't be crazy. this much?
michelle - no really, it's yours!
me - well thank you very much.
michelle - (straight-faced) anything for you, love muffin.
(the power momentarily goes out during a rainy day, and our backup generators kick in, but the music remains off.. everything can be heard throughout the restaurant)
customer - woah! what happened?
mgr michelle - (from the complete opposite side of the restaurant, deep in the kitchen) what!? i don't wanna die in here!
ashley r - chloe, you smell great! what are you wearing?
chloe - oh, it's this new spray i bought! you want some? i have it!
ashley l - ooh, i'll try some!
ashley r - yeah, let me see!
(chloe sprays the crowd of girls; tameka comes around the corner and makes a face)
tameka - ..what the BROTHEL is going on in here?
"you're on your way here? .... i think i might pee my pants .... okay, great! .... well, my pants will be peed when you get here."
-nicole, on the phone with ashley
"oh MAN! this 'dieting' thing is for the birds!! i'm going back to junk food tomorrow. goodness knows if i keep this up, someone's gonna end up dead."

(the managers have all taken turns making it clear how they like their coffees, in case anyone wants to suck up to them.. lol. this was written on the board monday:)
jaci's coffee:
iced (cold like my heart)
no sugar (i'm sweet enough :) )
me - jaci.. i like how you have a cold heart, yet you're still sweet.
jaci - ha! i put that on the board at 7 this morning, i was WAITING for someone to notice that!

dione - (to nick) i'm 19. how old are you, 18?
nick - i'm 19, too.
me - aw, you guys are babies!!
nick - why, how old are you? 20?
me - 25.
nick - oh wow, no way, you look younger than that.
(a few hours later, dione joins a crowd of us at a booth)
me - oh hey, guys, i just found out this guy is NINETEEN!
dione - oh, what, you believed that? i'm not 19, i'm 24.
me - oh, now that i'm 25, you're 24? dude, i know a brazilian who's been the same age for four years, you all lie about your age.
(today)
someone else - how old are you dione?
dione - 19.
me - 19?? i thought you were 24.
dione - i'm 19.. but i'm 24 for you.

i collect coincidences i see online when they're naturally next to each other. this is since december:
and two more that are not coincidences, just hilarious (the author of the caption in the first pic shall remain nameless):
catching up:
(kim is jewish)
kim - when alvaro and i went to see the jesus statue [in brazil], it was so cloudy, we couldn't even see the top half of it.
daniela - well, it might be because you don't believe in jesus.
greg - (singing) 'jessy smells like a wessy..'
me - (to greg's brother tim) do you do this to your wife too??
tim - of course i do. (turns to sarah, sings) 'sarah smells like a wessy..'
me - mm andrew, you smell good.
andrew p - that's funny, all i have on today is deodorant.
me - it's probably that, then.
andrew - yeah. it's either that or my vagina. |

strangely, i'm hardly one to pay attention to lyrics. being such a music-obsessed person, i think it's because the math nerd side of me concentrates more on the composition of the actual notes and arrangements. anyway, for some reason, the fray's lyrics stick with me.. a lot. and for no reason. but that really never happens to me.. usually i have to put in an effort to research the lyrics before they mean a lot to me.
"all we know for sure Is all that we are fighting for."
-'syndicate'
"that's disregard. find another friend and you discard as you lose the argument in a cable car, hanging above as the canyon comes between."
-'over my head'
"sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same."
-'all at once'
"if I don't say this now, I will surely break."
-'look after you'
"i've been calling for years and years and years and years, and you never left me no messages."
-'you found me'
"time, time, time again.. younger now than we were before."
-'never say never'
"years and years he waited, just watching for a son.. someone to go ahead, to take the name, he said. years and years he waited, and a daughter came instead."
-'enough for now'
"trying not to lose my head, but i have never been this scared before."
-'when the story ends' |
