So, congress got the job done and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. My new job is at place de la bourse in, or Stock Exchange square in English, and everyone this evening was must more relaxed, even if it is just a restaurant, we are paid on percentage, and the spending habits of the traders directly affects us!
It is an interesting experience to work in such a typically Parisian restaurant, with the bow-tie, waistcoat, apron, the crazy running around, with everyone knowing exactly what their job is. Tonight I served, in my area, 30 people dinner, which was not even that much... I am new and still getting the hang of the system. The really amazing thing about these restaurants is the sheer number of people who eat there, be it regularly, be it just once in their lives. To think that it has been open since 1876, probably pretty much everyday except Christmas, and that on average, at least now, it serves 200 people a day... well you do the maths, but that is a lot of meals served. Over 130 years, at least 360 days a year, and probably at least 100 people a day, once averaged out. That is a lot of steak frites!
So, as I was saying we are all very happy that Congress finally got round to voting through the bailout plan and that hopefully everything will calm down a little next week. Though, looking at this last week, I doubt it!
Until next time dahlings, that was me...
