About Last Night
It didn’t go so well. I spent 6 hours on my feet and made just enough money to buy a cup of coffee this morning that I am going to need to stay awake after that long shift.
HOPEFULLY! this weekend will be a lot better. I just do not understand peoples irrational fear of having someone park their car? It is the only thing that is truly free (tipping is optional) in Virginia Beach. They are paying for it when they get their $250 / night room so why not take advantage of it? I would honestly rather make nothing in tips than stand around doing nothing for six hours.
I am going to have to try a new approach to appeal to these people. If I make them think that they “need” to have their car parked or… if they do not have their car parked then they will be missing out on something then maybe they will be more inclined to let me do so. lol
But something really cute did happen. A Little kid came up to me and was like “Mr. can we ride the luggage carts?” hahaha.. i was like no buddy thats not safe sorry. Adorable!

I had some great conversations via email over the past couple of weeks with a bunch of different people, discussing all sorts of things that I’ll for sure end up writing about. Today I wanted to briefly touch on the topic of examples, which was pa…
