The Most Difficult Job In The World

It's my first entry, and I'd like to set some facts straight. Think serving (read:waiter/server) is an easy job? You're so mistaken. Think we are like the clumiest klutz around? Try our job. Think we're irritating when we forget your request for sky water (read: tap water with ice), or your demand for shredded cheese? Hey, we think you're irritating too alright? You have no idea how demanding the job can get.

Picture this : The restaurant's packed. You're doing the serving, clearing, billing, order-taking, and not forgetting, entertaining some "ang-mohs" telling you "there's a scarceity of sauce" (read: there isn't enough sauce. Can I have more please?) You walk down the row of tables and you get requests like "Bill please!" "Where's my dessert?" "Is my pasta ready yet?" "Fill my glass please!" "Could you like, clear this table?"(fake smile), when this woman, who speaks as if she had a failed 4 years education in the U.K. (ie. not ang-moh wanna act ang-moh) says, "where's the duck in my pasta?" I mean like, hello?! I've got like a thousand stuff to remember and you're asking me where's the duck?! I could have thought of like a hundred and one replies, but did I really want to lose my job? Nah, couldn't risk that. She'd probably do a Christina Aguilera and screamed the whole restaurant down.

And trust me when I tell you I've encountered worst.
