Tis the season

I, like most people, have to work through the holidays and my income depends on the generosity of the people who sit at the table I am waiting on. My job had it's advantages and disadvantages. If I worked at my job five days a week for five hours a day, I would more than likely bring home between 600-700 dollars, on the average a week. So for me this job has many benefits. Not only do I get to stay at home with my children and not have to send them to child care, but I work less than 40 hours a week, and make more than most average paying jobs pay. Saying that, I do my job not only for the money but because I absolutely love my job. I love what I do, getting to meet new people every night, learn their stories, and I have also met many people who potentially can help me get further in life. I dont choose to work here because I an "uneducated", or not capable of getting a "real" job, I choose to work there because I love it. I choose to work here so I can raise my kids and not someone else. Bottom line is, I am so so sick of ignorant people, who have never served in their life, telling me how easy my job is. I multitask, all night long, while pleasing 6-9 tables all at one time, without the help of anyone. I CHOOSE to have TWO jobs, raising two children, and then being a waitress, and lets face it, if I wasnt their to serve you your food...who would do it for you? Your Mommy?
