Tonight was my work Christmas Party it was a lot of fun! LeeAnn & Cameron even came!! The owner and his kids cooked dinner for all of us. It was interesting they made us traditional food from El Salvador. Most of it was really good some not so much. They had this cake not sure what it was called but it was made with 3 different types of milk. We drew out names for the gift exchange I got Mario the owner had a really hard time picking something out for him. What do you get an older man who already has everything??? I ended up getting Mario a flannel shirt and 2 big bags of his favorite candy (Worthers) Jeanne drew out my name and she got me a really soft, fuzzy vest and a Christmas Angel ornament. After we all ate and did the employee gift exchange we were all given a number and then they put them all in a little bucket and if your number was drawn out you get cash any where from $10-$200 my number didn't get drawn out but oh well. For a month all the tips we get from to go orders are put in a jar Mario, Sonia, Sulema & Quay decide on which employee gets all the tips and they choose Brooke!! We are all so happy for her she is a cancer survivor she just found out a couple weeks ago she is cancer free!!! Sonia came up to me and said that it was between me, Brooke, and Veronica and they decided to give it to Brooke because of everything she has gone through the last couple of years. After the party ended Paul took the boys home and I stayed to help clean up Veronica came back after she took her kids home. I am so lucky to be working for such a great family!!!! I owe it all to my best friend Veronica for telling me about the job. I was so scared to be a waitress I wanted to be the hostess really glad that my manger Quay talked me into being a waitress! For the most part I really do like all my co-workers. I have realized that I am an old lady because I am very tired of all the drama that the teenagers and young adults bring to work. I really need to learn Spanish so that I can talk to Mario his wife Ameilia (who is an inspiration to all of us for trying to get her US Citizenship) also so I can understand the cooks and the dishwasher too!!!
After we got done cleaning up me and Veronica went shopping at Walmart and 7-11 (who knew you can get good movies and games there) I got a couple of presents need to figure out what to get the boys and Paul. I thought boys were supposed to be easy to shop for???
