I remember when I first started waiting tables. Everything was going great in training, I was able to take orders, deal with problems, use the computer. It was awesome, until my first real shift- 8 tables, screwed up orders, kitchen running out of things, angry customers-way too much to deal with at one time. Feeling like I was in way over my head.
It's going to be a long weekend. I'll post again when I have a chance-probably when he's five.
