Blog Post 8- Erica Currier

Fears: Dying alone, not being in control of my body
Annoyances: People taking my things, people not respecting other people, people who are rude to teachers, waiters and bus drivers. 
Accomplishments: being at all marching band rehearsals my Sophomore and Junior year, reading 8 Pulitzer prize winners, and finishing the book form of It. 
Confusions: How to do taxes, how people have come out this way Sorrows: People who don’t "like" reading, violence for no real reason
Dreams: Becoming a professor, travelling out of the United States Idiosyncrasies: literary nerd, foodie
Risks: I don’t really take risks
Beloved possessions, then and now: My dad used to bring me $2 bills, my book collection, especially my illustrated copy of War and Peace.
Problems: Time management
I work at a diner downtown and people love pretending that I'm not there when I walk up to them to ask the question "Can I get that out of your way?" Or (my favorite) "Anything else I can get you?" This never ends well. Either I get one woman looking up going "I'm still working, thanks though" or an entire family asking for ketchup. This is expected and fine with me, it is in the job description. What annoys me more than anything is when the woman who asked for more ice after sitting on the patio where it is often unbearably hot asks for more ice and then just lets it melt, or the person who throws a fit for more gravy wastes half of it. These are minor infractions in considerations, until it happens to you, multiple
times a shift. Then it takes all you have to not roll your eyes and say "Yes your majesty" at the rude and impolite way customers ask for things. But the customer is always right.
