I'm tired of working 13-16 hours a day. At least we hired some new girls so it's not as stressfull as it would've been. Just looking at them makes day better.
Skater girl is more fun than anybody, knows what to say at the right moment .
Boston girl, funnier than anybody, makes you laugh when you need it.
Skinny-Tall girl, is quieter than anybody, knows when it's the time to shut up.
Tozhe mne tri devitsyi, blin.

-I'm allright, just got off work came here to talk to you. Yourself?
-Kak obyichno. Tol'ko boss zamuchil, postoyanno yemu chto-to nuzhno. Dostal prosto, urod stariy.
-I feel you. Work sucks.
-Ne govori.
-You know, we got really close, you and I. For couple of months I've been coming here just to talk to you. And don't get me wrong, but I enjoy talking to you, it's kinda relaxing, it seems that you're one of the people who truely understand me.
-Ya rada. U tebya vsyo horosho?
-Yeah, everything is fine. You know, I'll be in Moscow in 2 months. I can't wait till happens.

-Later, all the best.
6am. 42nd street between 7 and 8th avenues. Outside of internet cafe.
City-workers are cleaning the streets, pre-rushhour silence. Sun is rising. I'm tired. But it feels good. She's somewhere overthere, I'm here in NYC. But for an hour we were close, for an hour we were together.
2 months later

types of waiters
1. Old waiter, has been in the industry too long, probably an actor with strugling career. He or she won't talk much, just nessesary minimum: Hi, Bye, Don't you know that people tip in the restaurants.
2. Happy waiter, has been working for about 1-2 years. He (mostly he) is a cheerleader. Very annoying, especially to the staff. Says things like"God bless you" enormous amount of time.
3.New waiter. "How would you like your gardenburger cooked?"
4.Drunk waiter. They don't exist anymore. Too bad, I missed them.
5.Cool waiter. Will not charge you for something, will tell where to go to drink for cheap.
1.Brits don't tip! (well, to be honest they do but very small amount or very rare)
2.Russians tip 10%. (well, at least they don't have a problem when gratuity is included, very rarely complain about food)
3."Uptown" brothers tip 5-9 dollars no matter what.(complain about amount of alcohol in the drinks,ask for "virgin margaritas on the rocks", "virgin LIT"
4.Midwest and west coast tip well( complain about prices, food, flat beer)
5.Spanish(hispanic) tip randomly (speak to each other in Spanish while ordering.
6.Chineese tip, most of the time.( always share, very impation, ask for their waiter not knowing what they want)
7.Austrilians usually tip (never order Fosters, usually they order Bud)
PS: Of course there are pleasant and unpleasant surprises like 30-dollar-tip on 30 dollar check from a drug dealler, or one-penny-tip from a person paying by American Express Corporate card. Stereotyping is ok.
Monday is the best day of the week! Most people sit in their houses and watch TV, so you can get a table without a wait, you can actually sit in the bar, you can get a cab, it's the best. And I don't care that for most of people the week just began, for me it's over.

I'm bored. I've decided not to drink till New Year's Eve. When I order an O'Douls in bars, I feel retarded.
All the books in the house have been already read, all the movies have been seen, all the numbers have been dialed. Boring.

my freiend wants to break up with his girlfriend, but doesn't know how to do it without hurting her. So I was discussing that with my roommate's girlfriend. I said that may he should do what I've done. She didn't let me to finish, she said:"What? Move out of country?" I didn't know what to do laugh or cry.
Моя герл-френд о своих университетских подругах:
- Пока учились вместе, часто сидели в кафешках, подолгу общались, а
теперь у всех своя жизнь, свои проблемы - та замуж вышла, у той
мандавошки.
I want them to win tommorow. I want them to kick those Welsh asses hard.
I want them to become national heroes of modern sport. I want them to be honest, with fans, coaches, and themselves, if they loose, there won't be another chanse for their generation. I want them to make country proud of them.
I'll be there, in a Irish pub full of Welsh, I'll be there wearing my Russian national jersey, I'll be there the only Russian, but don't give a fuck, I'll be there happy.
I want them to win tommorow.
