Holy crap I've been productive this week. Worked five shifts at the diner; next week's paycheck will be great. I'm paying most bills from my tips and so not hitting my debit and credit card much. Got back on the fence project by completing one section tonight with only one more to go. Rebuilding the deck is the next longterm DIY thing. Got some software working too. #RetiredLife
TIL we get a weekly bonus just for showing up on time for our scheduled hours. I like how Eileen motivates her employees. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
In case you were wondering, yes, people in the small restaurant business really do call each other sweetie, baby, and honey. It's just like Flo in Mel's Diner. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife

Eileen (owner) to me this morning: "Customers are asking about the new testosterone on the line."

Due to lack of help, we're closing today at 2:30 instead of staying open till 7:30 as usual on Mondays. I usually come in at 2:30 on Mondays but the owner kindly called last night offering the earlier shift. I like that. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
