Nice article from waitingtables...

This was an article in the NYTimes today about a food critic jumping to the serving side of things for a week. My one real issue with the article is where he mentions that the servers tend to make around $45,000 a year pre-taxes, all tips. Not all of us make that kind of money. That completely depends on the area and the restaurant. I make a fraction of that (and have made less other restaurants), and people thinking all servers make that much only adds fuel to the non-tippers' fires.

Interesting...

So I go online to check out my bills for the coming month and when they're all due, and I check on my student loan. Obviously my consolidation has gone through, because when I checked up at dl.ed.gov it told me I owed nothing on my loans. Now I just need to know who to pay my next payment to...lol Too bad $17,000 worth of loans couldn't actually have disappeared just like that.
