What does a typical day at work look like for you and what is your “normal” schedule?

“Wake up” check/respond to emails/messages. Get a light workout in and eat . Then get ready for dayclub by 10am. Check in and begin to walk up tables from 11-3:30 or 4pm, unless i am on late shift. Then we’re usually there until 5pm or last call at 6pm.
