The Diva That Ate New York // Rather than bitch guides
You can either be part of the solution or part of the problem. Over the years I have mellowed (yes, really I have) and climbed down from my broom when it comes to bitching about things not going the way I want them to. I offer these guides as a way to try to be constructive, not destructive.
Waiting tables 101: how to at least bring the drinks, the food and the check
I’m a hash slinger from way back. I hated it, but I did it. Waiting paid for lots of delicious food, singing lessons and of course the bills, hence the allure.
