Just returned from work where my fellew employees were mocking me because I sound like a man. My voice happens to be rather raspy because of a nasty cold I've been fighting, and apparently it is very noticable. Hopefully the patrons, who I served dinner to, didn't notice. Thier can't be much worse than a woman with a nasty cold serving you food to consume. Really though, at this point I am getting over it and it just so happens that I still sound horrible even though I feel okay. If any of the patrons were to ask, my story went something like this, "oh, you wouldn't even believe the screaming I did last night while watching my favorite band perform LIVE in G.R.!! Yeah, sorry about the voice, but it was well worth it to be front row!" I'm not much for lying, but I wouldn't want them to think I was coughing all over thier food either. Or sneezing on it, for that matter (which I wasn't... for the record).
And it was worth it... I made $52 in 2.5 hours. It was a slow night in 84ville.
I was home before 7:30pm and was able to eat dinner (ice cream and popcorn) and still do some studying and blogging before turning in for a restless night of sleep. Should I not presume that it will be restless?? Hasn't every night since I've been sick been restless?? Why yes, it has. So then, why should I expect tonight to be any different? Well, as a matter of fact, I think it might be different because I will be taking some Tylenol PM before I lay my head down on my freshly laundered pillow. I've only taken Tylenol PM once before, but it was one of the most restful nights of sleep I've ever had. I expect that stuff can be addicting, seeing as how it made me so fulfilled once before. That is why I haven't taken it since! But I need something tonight, and so I will succumb to its' pleasurable toxicity.
And hopefully I will awake refreshed and feeling better! Good night=)

A cold is is a thankless sickness. No perks. You don't get to call in sick to work, and you don't even get any sympathy. If you come down with anything else, people cry and say how sorry they are and hug you. If you come down with a cold, they make fun of your voice, and say "don't come near me".
I await the update: DID the Tylenol PM work? Did it not?
Do tell!
Instead of worrying that your patrons won't like a raspy-voiced female server, just serve as a male, and they won't question your voice at all, ja?
yes, a thankless sickness indeed... and it hangs on for sooo long!
The tylenol PM works wonders!!! and I hadn't thought of going in as a male to suit the voice... will consider for next time=)
