 Posted: 08/23/05 - 10:11 Post subject: nightmare!
In my dream I decided to wait tables again for extra cash while in school and since I had experience at Macaroni Grill I went back there. First my car (the Dynasty) had 2 flat tires. Then, when I got to Mac Grill to talk about a job they just started giving me tables. And I didn't know anything. Menu items, table numbers, anything. I just kept getting sat, it was like the whole restaurant was my section. and they were all huge talbes, one was a giant table of kids. Everyone needed crap and I couldn't figure out what to do. I managed to find some chips and salsa (wtf?) to shut up one table. Then another table a guy tried to tell me financial jobs were where it was and I should consider going to school to pursue that. I was like " I've done that and I hated it" while my other talbes were screaming, including a table full of little old church ladies who wanted their coffee hotter. No, hotter. No, this is too cool. It was so terrible I didn't want to go back to sleep for fear I'd get more tables.... 
note to self: don't wait tables again...

If they were part of that soccer team they were throwing food and ordering expensive PITA virgin drinks from the bar.

I had a nightmare too.
The DH decided he didn't want me around and the only way he could think about getting out "clean" was to kill me. He decided to murder me while Carrie was still in the house. The commotion woke her up and I told her to run out the back door. (If we got out the back door while the alarm is set, it automatically alarms...if it isn't shut off in 30 seconds, the police are automatically called). She ran out the back door and he went after her with his nightvision goggles. I then went after him with a cast iron skillet. She outsmarted him and got back into the house and out the front door to my girlfriend's house down the street. Her husband Rick came back to the house with his hunting rifles to detain my DH until the police got there.

Wow. I can honestly say I've never dreamt about my husband killing me. No more 6:00 news for you, young lady!

I still have those waiting table dreams occasionally. I think that once you've done it, you always will have those semi-recurring dreams about it.

Sadly, you're probably right.
When I was actually working there I was working nearly every shift, it was a little insane and it was clearly driving me insane...I would basically dream about it all night, to the point where I'd wake up at 3am, not understand that I was in bed in my house and would try to figure out which table needed bread. It would take me 5-10 minutes to really wake up and realize I'd lost my mind and go back to sleep. This was nightly. It was like working all night in my dreams only to get up and open the restaurant and work all day. Torture. The payoff was making ~$8K that summer. Its been a while since I have had one of those dreams though.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was doing it full-time and was on break from school, I'd do doubles as well. That was the worst. Even worse than that, I'd be talking in my sleep, asking for drinks, etc. My ex-husband used to think it was funny and would mess with my head in my sleep by ordering stuff and I'd wake up and think I was in the restaurant too and had to deliver drinks or food. NOT funny.

That's too bad. LC tips big-time, and she likes Macaroni Grill. (I do too)

Hubby shouted at me in his sleep last night to be careful on my rear tire tube; he thought it had a slow leak.
