It's been a bloody awful summer. Dad insisted that I got a Muggle job. The next person who asks what our daily specials are gets a straw up the nose. And if I have to carry one more tray of steak to a patron, only to have them tell me that it's not done properly I'm going to hex someone (Jelly Slug being my personal favorite of the moment).

Waiting tables can't possibly be that rough Corner, are those muggles really all that bad? I'm pretty sure waiting tables for wizards would be just as much of a joy and tips in cash are so much easier to carry around than a pocketful of goblin minted coins.

[corner_claw]

Yeah, but when waiting tables for wizards, you can use magic. And the damn Muggles that frequent the place I work have more money than they know what to do with, but I can tell you what they don't do with it. Tip. Bloody prats should buy some manners. Are good for a laugh occasionally though. And there is the rare beautiful, unattached single woman (reading between the lines, what Muggles call a gold digger), so it has a few decent moments.

[slopesadope]

Gold diggers eh? Ya know, I think it'd be nice of me to drop by and pay a visit to my old schoolmate. Where was this place again?

[corner_claw]

Holland Park, London. Hint: Friday nights after 9 is the best time.

Michael, how have you been? Good I hope. Here's hoping your school year doesn't bring too much trouble for you and everyone else at Hogwarts! Maybe I'll see you around Diagon someday, I moved into a flat with Roger! If you're interested, you can drop by after you shop.

[corner_claw]

Hey Cho, I've been pretty good. How about yourself? I'm looking forward to Hogwarts, though the NEWTS will be rough.

I might have to stop in, sounds like it would be fun.

[ravenhaired_cho]

Things are good, although a little boring.

Or we can go somewhere in Diagon, your choice.

[corner_claw]

Either sounds good, just let me know a time and a place. Looking forward to it.

[sweet_susan]

Your job sounds...fun. All right, well, no it doesn't. Anyway, other than your job, I hope your summer is going well!

[corner_claw]

Yeah, the "not fun" is the correct description. But it's not that horrible. How is your summer going?

[sweet_susan]

Well, good thing it's not that horrible! And my summer is going quite nicely, thanks. Though it's a bit boring. Ah, well. There are other things in life, yes?

[corner_claw]

Yes, luckily much more pleasant things! Maybe I'll see you around the Alley sometime? If not, definitely the train in a few weeks.

Glad to see someone else around here has an idea of what it's like working in a restaurant on a daily basis. At least I don't have to deal with the public, stuck making all the food and all.

Perhaps all we needed this summer was a break. If you want to hang out or something before school begins, let me know. I'm sure we could swap horror stories.

[corner_claw]

Right pain, isn't it?

And I have horror stories galore. Imagine this: a small child, a pair of ladies knickers, a spit wad, and our richest customer's prime rib. You figure out how they go together... Hanging out would be good, let me know when.

[chaser_smith]

My imagination just took that and ran with it. I rather wish it hadn't.

Now imagine your father owning the bloody restaurant and insisting you work there.

Whenever we both have a day off would be great. Maybe tomorrow afternoon, if you're not tied to the hellhole?

[corner_claw]

Yes, I rather wish I hadn't lived it. Believe me.

And it's bad enough my father insisted this, I can't imagine working for him as well.

Tomorrow works. Where?

[paige_winters]

It is that bad eh? I did not know muggle jobs could be so bloody awful.

[corner_claw]

Be glad, be VERY glad, you don't know first hand. Having a good summer?

[paige_winters]

I guess my summer has been good.
