Looking back on just a few hours ago, I\u2019m completely sick with my decision to work on LSU weekend. I mean, I\u2019ve been at school all week; God knows I\u2019ll be tired by Friday and am not going to want to do anything until we come back to campus Sunday. Not to mention, I\u2019m going to be on the square in Oxford, working at a place that has a bar for people to watch the game. Anytime over the summer any of my coworkers brought up football season, you could see them all physically shudder. On a normal day at work, the restaurant would have four servers, a bartender, a busser, and a food runner. On football weekends? Two bartenders, five servers, two bussers, and two food runners. Complete hell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, the money\u2019s good and all, but my feet are screaming at me an hour in. Now, personally, I\u2019ve never worked for a football weekend\u2014I only started working at the diner over the summer for some extra money. But on days when I couldn\u2019t even wipe a table down before another was sitting? Oh, I hated it. The good news was that we only had about two days like that during the summer since all the college students were gone. Now everyone is back, and I heard that there have never been more people at and watching Ole Miss since it opened. I\u2019m scared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Literally, someone pray for me. I know there\u2019s going to be a line out the door all day, and a line halfway around the square before we even open. I feel like that one TikTok meme of the girl crashing out in her car and crying. If I make around two hundred bucks that\u2019d be great, but will it be worth it? Maybe, maybe not. At least I know better than to even <\/span>think <\/span><\/i>I\u2019ll get anything close to a break Saturday. And after work? I\u2019m crying in the car and sleeping in my bed until it\u2019s time to come back to MSA.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my bio, I clearly said I\u2019d be ranting on here, and that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m doing. Ranting about a weekend that will indeed not go down in the history books. There\u2019s only like two upsides to this entire situation: I get to see my coworkers again after so long, and I get money. I miss my coworkers so much, but that\u2019s a rant for another day. I\u2019m just happy my mom will be there with me. Did I forget to mention we work together? Oh well. It\u2019s not like we\u2019ll have any time to see each other unless we\u2019re shouting, \u201cBehind you,\u201d every five seconds in that cramped diner on our way to juggle five more tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
