First Dinner Service

I'm going to skip over the last few days because they were pretty unexciting. It was mostly just sitting listening to the same rules and regulations again and again for about 6 hours and then eating in the cafeteria and going to the employee pub at about 9 or so for a tall boy of PBR. I also learned that either I suck at pool or the people here are really good at it. I met a ton of people, it feels like freshman year of college except that I do have to "hey mister" somebody for a beer. 
But today was the first time I was actually doing my job "for real". Tonight was the "shakedown" which is like a trial run for the Food and Beverage staff. Essentially, we split into two groups and the first serves while the second dines, and then we switch. As a server assistant, my job is to keep h2o's filled and buss tables, which might seem kinda easy, but I have a million little things to do as well like garbage and restocking plates and glasses and settings. Additionally, I suck at folding napkins. Despite all this dinner service went off without a hitch. I didn't spill or drop a glass. Also, I made $6 even though tipping wasn't required. I have tomorrow off, so I'm going to celebrate at the pub with a Rye Old Fashioned!
