Really. Quite interesting. I had no idea.
I really have a hard time striking up a conversation with what I do. I mean, I could say that I was a garbageman and have a better conversation making small-talk with a barber, etc. Tonight was a good one. Got the six miles out of the way (thank YOU Priest / Maiden / Faithful Defenders!) and while I am sweating up a storm ready to stretch a bit someone grabs me, calls me by name and asks about my broken ribs. Freaked me out for half a second until I realized that she was the one and only person to give me a professional massage.
Damn woman has pretty much seen me naked and I couldn't remember her name! LOL!!!! At least I remembered what SHE did for a living.

OMG, I would have starved to death without tips. On average was 100.00 a night. 250.00 on a decent night and on the busiest weekend of the year, which was called Member guest weekend, 400.00 in one night. God I miss that job!

Will do! I know next time i hit Europe there's heaps of people to visit. I met up with a few mates last time - makes the trip more intresting  Wouldn't mind catching a concert or two as well. Maybe a festival - since the one's here suck.

I was a bartender for about ten years. I worked at a club and the regular drinkers who didn't change up their drinks I would have their drinks at the table when they sat down. I was fast and I had a great time doing it! Used to also do table side cooking for the waitresses when they were too busy and that was great, I used to pretend I was Julia Childs to me regular drinker customers and they loved it. The tender that took over after I left told me she hated me bacause everyone talked about me. So I guess I did the job well!
When I had Flora I had to change jobs to something I could do durring the day. So I went back to school a few years after she was born.

I still wish I had been a little more with it! Enjoyed it, but it could have been better! Well, maybe. Having Rob ask you if your OK, when he catches you is just like a knight in shining armour type feeling. I guess I wouldn't really change it in hindsite.
Bev, if you haven't tried nutella, get yourself some fresh criossants and load it on! It's sinfully delicious!
