sick(?) and tired

i feel like i'm getting sick/ my ears are a little achy and i've been coughing a bit. i'm tired because instead of buying groceries and heading home last night, i went out for a bite to eat with melanie and mimi. then when i got home, i didn't sleep for a long while after.

work was good. they've called me twice since i got home but i haven't answered. i think it might have something to do with a credit card that got processed funny that worked out to my advantage. the credit slip that the guest got said the total was $220 and he put the total to $255. however, when i went to cash out, i looked at sales journal and the computer somehow processed the bill as only $200 and that i got a $55 tip instead of $35. hey, it's all the same to the guest's credit card. just lemme keep the extra $20. but then again, they might have been calling for another reason but i guess i'll find out tomorrow. i'd just rather not have to deal with that before i go to bed. if have to give them back $20 tomorrow, i will still have made a bill so that's not a bad night.

ttc bus drivers make $25/hour. i over heard some guy talking to the bus driver on the way home and he asked him. i think that's the starting wage because the bus driver was pretty young. not bad. $25/hour, benefits, vacation time, and a pretty secure job. i wonder if subway drivers make more or less. it seems like it would be a lot harder to driver a bus opposed to a subway or streetcar now that i think of it. i don't like bus drivers that drive really fast. it makes me uneasy. and i really don't like it when bus drivers are talking on a cell phone. 'hello, you're driving a big ass bus! shouldn't you be focusing?'
