Working on New Year's Eve
I once worked as a cocktail waitress in a casino. I had just turned twenty-one and my plan was to work for a year to make some money before heading off for art school. It was a hard job physically but working on New Year’s Eve was mentally exhausting as well. You spend eight hours on your feet squeezing through a packed crowd and dealing with belligerent drunks, all while balancing a tray full of drinks.
So if you go out and celebrate this New Year’s Eve, remember to be kind. And tip.
