Wow. Interesting day at work!!!
Tuesdays usually suck, but a manager gave me a better section tonight and it was fairly busy so I actually did well.

Two strange things happened:
First, the minor thing. Remember a couple weeks ago, I went to a work party and hooked up with this random girl? I think I had a journal entry about it. It was me, her, and some other dude kinda sharing her.
Well, she works with me now! It's not a huge coincidence or anything, since she knows people that work there and that's why she went to the party. It doesn't matter that much actually, but I was kinda surprised to see her. I never did call her...

Then, the majorly weird thing.
There are a couple new hostesses working there. One of them is known as "Soup Kitchen" because everyone says she belongs in one. I felt bad for her and tried to befriend her during her first couple days, and defended her when people talked badly about her. BUT I started to see why people don't like her. She is absolutely fucking BONKERS.
Today she came in to work showing off a new engagement ring. During the shift she told me "we have to talk". I asked her, "about what?" and she said "we'll talk later".
I walked past her again and she said "we really have to talk."
I asked again "what's it about? Did I do something?" and she said "it's about you and me."
The third time, I saw her on her way out. I pulled her aside and I was like...
"Okay, what's the deal?"
She said.. "there's a rumor going around that you, and me, are having sex. And my ring is from you."
"Whoa."
"Yeah. And of course it isn't true".
I replied, "You got that right. So... who has been saying this?"
"All the girls up front."
"You mean the other hostesses?"
"No, well, yeah, hostesses, waitresses, bartenders, everybody."
"ooooookay...."
At this point I was ready to call shenanigans on her. This sounded fishy... but I let it slide and told her I'd find out and talk to her tomorrow.
First off, I don't really talk that much to everyone who works there. So I'm not the subject of many rumors. Second, the other hostesses openly HATE her but they like me. Third, the bartenders don't even know who the hell she is. I asked around and nobody had heard of this rumor.

So basically SHE started a rumor, about a non-existant rumor, but why? She wants me? She wants attention? Who knows. Either way it's gonna be interesting the next time I see her!


MINI UPDATE:
This morning, she was like "so what did you find out?"
And I told her, "I asked around and nobody heard anything at all about that rumor. Maybe you misunderstood something...?"
She said "Well I heard like 500 different things from everyone."
I responded with... "Are you sure you aren't just making this all up?!"
to which she replied "no, that's disgusting. Of course not."
I just shrugged and said "oookay..." and walked away. Then she was really really nice to me the rest of the day. She even butted in between me and the cuter hostess when she saw us flirting. The girl is beginning to freak me out.
