ok so every last saturday of the month, theres a big meeting seminar type thing upstairs in sutao, then for lunch and dinner they all come down and eat. so i was working all day on saturday. literally from 11 till about 11. it was the most intense 11 hours ever. no joke. its like 70 people coming into my happy sanctuary and most of them dont speak much english. i felt like a loser for being the american.
people that were interesting:
some girl. she comes in all the time, shes not the prettiest girl in the world, but she has a beautiful voice. like normally to me chinese isnt the prettiest language but when she says it, it sounds awesome.
the americans. i realized that we divide people in our restaurant. the chinese and the americans. we didnt have a whole lot of americans come in, but at one point, when a group came in, they wanted to sit at a certain table, but terence told them to sit somewhere else, so they walked out. then susan said some chinese to him, and the next americans that walked in, we had them sit where the other people wanted to sit. it was funny. susans got them all whipped.
speaking of.
after the chinese people ate lunch, we had some time to chill. during this time lee and susan got in a HUGE FIGHT. and they were speaking angrily in chinese in a hushed voice, and then all of a sudden susan hit and broke the glass on the table! so the whole restaurant grows silent and they go into what i call the brothel room(aka the party room, but if someone closes the door, i feel like im interrupting something when i go in and get stuff.) so everyone in the restaurant and i just start talking. i was like, yeah i dont know what theyresaying but im a little scared. this led me to meet
unbelievabley fat man and his super friendly wife(maybe wife?) he was very fat. me and lee kept a plate count:11. we gave him his own pitcher of water. his wife and i were talking for a while. shes an english tutor.
lady with her family and kids. they didnt have a bunch of the stuff she wanted, so i asked lee to ask chef to make some new stuff, but he was arguing with susan, so i had to tell her that they were in a fight and i was scared. like she knew that they were fighting before so its ok. so she eventually got her stuff, and shes super nice.
chinese kids. they were like 8 and they were cute
stephen. susan/ terences son. he was annoyed that he had to dress up all day. we talk about wwII sometimes
two chinese nerds. i was talking to them for a while. i love nerds. we were talking about physics. i wish i could remember their names.
all in all it was a really busy day and it was snowing for a while, so i ust headed home after the day. suuuch a long day.
11 to 11 = 12 hours, even if I have failed Pre-Calculus numerous times in the past. :D With a break, I'm guessing.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? D: I like spoken Chinese, probably because I don't hear it much. I'm thinking Arabic and such wouldn't sound the most pleasant.
XDD The brothel room. ROFL, or as much as I can ROFL, after significant abdominal injury. I'm not sure whom to blame for it: I was laughing hysterically and I supposedly can control myself, but Rey was busy being hilarious. Bottom line: my tummy hurts after laughing really hard yesterday.
Someone here dated a Chinese nerd for a slight bit more than two years. =3;;; I know they're adorable.
To be kind, you accidently missed a j in your penultimate sentence.
