My Grill is Mackin’

January 27, 2006 on 4:15 pm | In Blog |

“Hello and welcome to Macaroni Grill. Is this either of your first times here? My name is Daniel and I’ll be your server. Let me write that down for you. Have you had a chance to look at our featured items? Can I start you of with a Mushroom Ravioli or some of our house wine?” I say something like that at nearly every table that I come up to working at Macaroni Grill. I was certified yesterday to officially start waiting tables (and getting tips!). I get to dress up, wear a tie, and smile a lot. I haven’t quite figured out if I’m still in the “blue collar” world or not.

After a record setting Comment section last post, I’m glad some of you took my advice and participated. However, it was pretty much the same people commenting. You Virginia people should step it up and get in the game.

I have been slacking in my reading lately due to my studying of Mac Grill knowledge and it has been saddening me. Now that my schedule will be a little more regular and less pressured, I will be able to catch up. Especially on my read the Bible through stuff.

William and I went to a place here in Lex called Whatsa Futon? and the guy working there has these snakes as pets. They are all non venomous boas and pythons so they were pretty cool. As long as you don’t mess with their faces they will leave you alone. But I got to pick them all up and experience the coolness. He also has a giant scorpion that I won’t touch. Snakes I can do, but yikes! on scorpions.

Many of you may know that I like to travel. I have been to 38 of the 50 states pretty much all on my own accord in a car. Money willing (and God has all the money), I will go to every continent and do missions work. I love Google Earth, star-gazing, and anything astronomical. But the new way for me to discover things is through Discovery HD Theatre. Ryan (the guy I live with this semester) got HD cable for his HD TV and it is boggling. They set it all up at a middle school science level and really blow you away with the visuals. NOVA on PBS was always amazing, but Disc HD is blowing its socks off. Some of you may know that I don’t like TV. The primary purpose of a TV set is to watch movies. Well, programs like these are developing a caveat for my premise.

Caveat, that is a hard core word.

I’m glad you were not prone to pick up pets as a child and bring them home. Something like that might have eaten a “baby garrett”! :yikes: Mom

DUDE THATS AWSOME!

This picture is not the first thing I want to see in the morning. My heart and stomach are challenged.
:scared:

this comment section is not nearly as impressive as the last. Did the snake scare everyone away? Come on people, it wouldn’t hurt you even if it really was being held by Daniel right in front of you.

Sankes and D-well’s! Oh my!

Dang it, it didn’t work.

If anyone is actually bothered by this idea or is a little unsettled, take some time to make a snowflake in the “Wintry Mix-It-Up CHEER!” section of my links to the left. It will brighten up your day.

if anyone is bothered or unsettled by the snake, you should come with me to see them! When you experience and begin to understand them, you will see that there is nothing to be afraid of. They are one of God’s most amazing creatures and have no reason to be feared. They are all non-venemous by the way.

Daniel, I have refrained from saying, but I feel that it is now time… the snow flake thing… isn’t that “cool”. It really is a waste of time in which people could be doing much more creative, constructive things with their time!!! Encourage your friends to read, sew, knit or cook rather than cut out snowflakes… okay??? Did I mention knitting… these are genuine skills - domestic but usefull. If needed, I can help… just ask, Mom

I posted the previous comment - not Garrett - sorry if there was any confusion. Someone (Garrett) has been on my login and changing things around…

you’ll be sorry when the time comes that you have to make snowflakes, and you’ve spent all your time knitting

Comment by william — January 31, 2006 #
Your mom said what we were all thinking about the snowflakes. I salute her bravery.

Comment by Todd — January 31, 2006 #
no way, man. the snowflake thing is awesome. (seriously)

Comment by william — January 31, 2006 #
That is a pretty cool picture with the snake! I feel the same way about the scorpion though. My sister was stung by one when we lived in Mali and she screamed incessantly for 4 hours!
I can’t wait to come and see you at Macaroni Grill. I will expect top notch service, but Jeremy and I are good tippers since we have both worked in the serving world!

If you come on your birthday, then I can sing you an aria of birthday goodness (and you get a free chocolate cake!).

UPDATE!

Comment by SammyK — February 3, 2006 #
i think its time we instated filters preventing people from yelling “Update!” when its only been 1 weeks since the last update. I seem to remember months going by between some peoples updates, SAM.
