Not that it was obvious I was gone, but my computer cord finally died completely on me. But, I have a new one, yay!
So ... They took me off Saturdays and switched me to Mondays; two extra hours, and I'll be alone, so way more tips.
Dude! This crazy-ass lady came in the week before last, all hopped up on meth or something. She was happy, for the most part, but screaming and hollering really loudly. Kept yelling "ASSALAMU ALAIKUM!" at me, and saying the Pledge of Allegiance at me (pro-tip: "the Flag" and "under God" were never part of the original Pledge. And it was written by a fascist - and a commie wrote "This Land is Your Land." Trufax) and saying I needed to find Jesus. After trying to calm her down, we finally called the cops, and she got PISSED and started screaming "ASSALAMU ALAIKUM, BITCH!" at me as some customers pushed her out of the restaurant. I told the customers later that I had Jesus. And Abraham. And Noah. And Moses. And Muhammed. They were like Pokemon; you had to catch 'em all! That brought laughs.
Then she came BACK, and asked for the belt she'd left, and when I'd handed it to her, told the customers still there that she really wished they hadn't let me touch her belt. Then she went outside and told on me to the cops who were coming in to eat.
Yeah. Interesting.
And last Sunday, rather than working the 5-9 I was scheduled, I volunteered to stay 'til 10 for Mondo. So, yeah, as I was leaving at midnight ... No, really. The late-night cook apparently told one manager that he wouldn't be in 'til 12, but didn't tell the on-duty manager, and didn't get anyone to cover the two hours we wouldn't have a cook. Kulwinder stayed 'til 10:30, but Jeff was PISSED, especially when Loc rolled up and sat in his car until midnight, despite me being Ms. Messenger between them, trying to get Loc to come in. I don't know what happened with all that, but I'm sure I'll hear about it.
By the way, Iron Man 2 was FREAKING AWESOME. :P
Oh, ugh, this guy I was semi-involved with before I converted came in on Sunday, too. He would disappear for at least a month, if not more, then pop back into my life --- never answering texts, or voice-mails; just nothin'. Then, the ONE TIME my phone was off when HE called ME, suddenly HE "felt abandoned." Right. Who treated whom like a one-night stand, asshole? And YOU feel abandoned? Right. So rather than tell him, "You know, after the way you treated me in December, I don't think it's a good idea to give you my number again," I gave him my number. But that's what I'll say if he ever calls or texts me. I erased his number from my phone, anyway.
Jerk.
Welcome to my blog!
This blog is an honest look at what life is like for this particular American convert to Islam. We're taught in Islam to cover our sins, to not air them, for fear of lessening the severity of sinning. In this blog, I may relate past indiscretions from time to time. This isn't to make light of them, but in the interest of educating Muslims and non-Muslims alike as to the realities of life as an American convert, I present my mistakes honestly. I make no excuses for them, nor do I claim that they were okay to make. I am not perfect, and I make no pretenses as to that. If others can learn from my past, know that Islam, and religion in general, is open for people no matter what mistakes they've made, then I will gladly air my sins when needed.
