Description
I am a dishwasher in the city only because I couldn't find work at home and got tired of the university. I'm working a double and it just began to die down a little after the late afternoon crowd; however, they tell me today is the second busiest day of the year, next to Mother's Day, and I believe them. Most of the waiters on the payroll are scheduled. The people with regular jobs got out a little while ago and should be planning their evening around this time. Some of them will come eat Italian food here. We are waiting for the rush. May sound crazy, but this job's the one I've had the most peace of mind in. I have my own corner in the back of the house (kitchen) and they let me have a little radio that I play at a reasonable volume. The busboys, waiters and waitresses, sometimes even the managers if it's really busy, they all visit me carrying a stack of plates or a fistful of cups that need washing so they can be put back out. All of them like me because I don't waste any time and work my job fast. The other dishwasher they don't like as much because she's always on her cell phone and takes the time of royalty to do anything. I don't really talk much and time goes by fast when you're constantly moving.
