Costume Idea's

Bonjour Everyone!

So I have to have three different costumes two for the Hooters Costume Contest. This year I'm going to be a school girl and military. The school girl is only because my nickname is Syd the Kid and one of the girls who works there is nicknamed Pattie the Teacher.....slapstick humor gotta love it haha. Those are just for the store I probably won't wear them out to parties or anything not really I don't think haha. My big question is what am I going to wear FOR Halloween. I thought about going simplistic or maybe really do something different.



I'll keep you guys posted on ideas!

Au Revoir

Birthday Girl!

So it was my birthday yesterday I am officially j'ai vingt ans that is french for I am twenty years. Haha yes I use French any opportunity I can get. I'll talk about that later don't worry ;)

So I was working a golf promo in Pasadena, MD with a few of the girls when we arrived it occurred to me none of us have ever worked a golf promo before. So I think I spoke for everyone when I say we were just awaiting orders, because if we tried to do this on our own we would have been as useless as a broken beer mug. There was a a contest going on down at hole four whoever got a hole in one on their first try won a brand new car I am pretty sure it was a Toyota Corolla. I thought it was a awesome looking car for the pure fact it was red and shiny haha. Shannon and Tammie were positioned at hole 2. Whilst Swan and I were at hole 4. I thought it was a good advantage to gain favor with the golfers if we actually knew enough of what we were talking about golf wise. For instance how to old a club, how your body should be positioned, how many yards the hole course was, which club to use, and lastly keeping track of other players score on the hole. Swan did a great job keeping the happiness level up haha. We received a lot of compliments for being knowledgeable about golf I use this in basic terms. In other words we knew enough to not look like total lent heads.

We had to sell raffle tickets, hand out chips, and beer the issue being we didn't get raffle tickets till later not many people wanted chips because they already ate. We couldn't serve beer because the woman never brought it to us. Now as far as I've known with the little promo experience I have or have witnessed we don't normally get tipped for promos as in it's not expected if we do good job if not whatever. We didn't sell a lot of raffle tickets because they had already bought a lot before arriving to our hole. We couldn't do much for the golfers which, were mostly men but I don't want to be gender selective because there were a few woman as well, except just do what we normally do keep them smiling and entertained. We must have done a good job because I didn't see one grumpy face the whole time. In fact a few of them had a swing a few balls I had to help swan with positioned and how to hold the club because she had never played any type of golf not even putt putt. We did it from Lady's T as well now during that try I look behind our golf cart and what do I see but a random turkey on the path. I think I was the only one who just really wanted to chase that turkey or hit it in the head with a golf ball.....terrible I know but well haha tough luck. The turkey had been on the course for a few days now one of the girls who works there told Swan and I. A few of the male golfers chased it too haha. Swan and I were forever known as the turkey chasers and girls who swung.

I had a great starting birthday all day at the course the golfers were telling me happy birthday so I thought that was nice. Although I wish I had a sash so that way I didn't have to keep telling people haha. I did notice something that unfortunately I wish I didn't. Faces are slowly becoming a blur for the most part for instance the golfers once they left for the next hole they were quickly forgotten in my mind. I only say this because when Swan had said "Omg that cute young guy I hope he comes back" I thought......what cute young guy? The best part is he was just there all of 20 minutes ago yeah clearly I didn't care that much haha. I also noticed that when girls work I don't really consider you well how should I put this a consistent worker I suppose? No that's not right but it's as close as I am going to get. I say this because the new girls that start they have to get through the first 3 months before I consider you well someone of true interest then once they get past 6 months I might consider you an employee. Girls come and go all the time you aren't truly remembered until you have been there a year or more There are some girls I wish would stay forever others who I am just waiting till there time is up. One of the girls is moving back to Wyoming, another moved a few weeks ago to California, and another girl got fired finally after what I thought was an overdue expiration date. I know I am being catty but I just didn't like her personality or her attitude at the store. However I think that is enough cattiness for one blog. I shall return again my awesome viewers!

xoxo, Syd
