I just got fired from my cocktail waitressing job of 3 weeks! No specific reason was given. I worked in a theater and the show sales have not been that good and the house has been rather empty so they most likely didn't need all of us. But the negative part of me is screaming: "You got fired because you are an epic failure!" I must admit I am not the best cocktail waitress. For one, I don't really drink often...so when people ask about different alcohols...I just stare back at them cluelessly. Also, when handling peoples credit cards and money I tend to go super slow on the computer so as not to charge someone for something they didn't purchase. But, I was always early for my shifts and offered to help out with the bar setup etc. I am glad I do not have to go back to this job and push something I do not believe in on people. But I don't know how I am going to pay my upcoming bills. And I can't help but have a bruised and damaged ego.
I have been listening to a lot of Joel Osteen lately. He is a preacher. I am not religious but I think Joel is an extremely positive person and I like what he has to say. I know that for this situation he would say: "Do NOT put a question mark where God has put a period." Meaning, stop asking "Why?" The point is, I was fired. I learned from this job that I despise waitressing...even in a theater setting. I was inspired by the performers I saw and that is what I am taking from this experience. Period. Time to move on to the next.
