If you work it right - evenings and weekeknds can be for fun , not chores. One person working for money, one person working for comfort is amazing.
beth, this is exactly my plan. Having someone else's words to throw at the stupid voices in my head really helps shut them up. Thank you.
I am now giggling at the image of a wedding planner racing down a hallway yelling "Red Alert! There are two bridesmaids at adjacent tables at the breakfast buffet, and one of them is trying to borrow salt!"
Jessica, did you like being a barista?
And anyway, I thought it was only bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
Apparently it's bad luck to know the bride before the wedding.
My wedding was very small and my sister was my only attendant, because she would have been pissed off if I had chosen anyone else. I know what my friends were doing the day of the wedding, though. They were stealing greenery to decorate the chapel.
I have a new great-nephew.
I'm just trying to figure out how the bride managed to take the tradition that brides and grooms aren't supposed to see each other before the wedding and managed to extrapolate it to the entire wedding party.
I loved it, Aim. NSM the waking up at 4:30 am to go to work part, but I had great customers, and I was the motherfucking QUEEN of working the bar. And for a college student, the pay was pretty good (plus, free coffee).
The funny thing is, SHE'LL SEE THE GROOM BEFORE THE WEDDING!!! We're doing pictures at the reception site before the actual wedding. Everyone. So maybe she's trying to make up for it. I don't know.

I'm thinking about a second job (not for the wedding, for the hell that is our finances right now) and I thought maybe Starbucks would be fun.
I'm still boggling over the bride's "I'd feel left out" statement. Jeesh. How much more 'your day' does it have to be before you can let other people turn their adoring gazes away from you long enough to share snacks?

You could probably make more money doing something office-related, but barista work is fun, and the hours (at least at my store) were pretty flexible. The pay when I worked there was about $8-9/hour.
