A Kingdom for me serving people food during Ramadhan, Dita entry 232

I shouldn't complain. I should be happy to have a job to help me pay the rent and bills, making me more and more financially independent, although the job is far from my MA studies and I only work three times a week. On Monday, I started working as a waitress at a Banqueting Hall, a very fancy one, with two days of training where I had to learn costumer service, the history of the building and how to fold the napkins.

The not so exciting thing was, the first day of work was the first day of the fasting month. And my first shift was 6pm till closing, so I broke my fast 3 hours earlier, ate at home of the fear of passing out during work because I might not get a break for dinner..... Everything went fine, and the food is excellent, unlike most English meals. I got another shift on Wednesday, during the day, and it was torture as well, since I serve people drinks and food as I'm unable to consume anything during the day. TW has been supportive, although she doesn't approve with the fact that we're not even allowed to drink during fasting period. She changed her eating schedule to mine, which was cute, so we still eat dinner at the same time.

My manager at work is nice.....and if I was not into someone at the moment, I might develop a small crush on him, but my thoughts are still far far away in Cyprus. He'll be back in England in about two weeks, so it's kinda nerve wrecking for me. Why? Well, expectations can be a very dangerous thing. Maybe I'm expecting that our emails and chats will turn into something more once he comes back, but will it be just as sweet? We only had 1 phone conversations ever, and I called him for production reasons, so we were not really talking about personal stuff.....so, the anxiety of longing for him for the last three months might turn into a huge disappointment when we finally realize we don't have that much in common or to talk about.
