Hard earned Seats

Last Saturday our team had a dinner party at a resturant named "Green Tea".

I had never been there but I've heard of the resturant several on more than one occasion (there is nothing wrong, this is a colloquism) times for it's good on account of its reputation of popularity and delicious dishes. As a result when our manager mentioned this resturant, I was happy to say yes immediately and volunteered that I could (use present tense and keep consistent verb tense) to get there early and occupy a table for us. (superfluous)

Saturday morning, as I searched on the computer for where the resturant's location and directions how to get there, I regreted what I had my promise. It was a long distance from my home to there and there was no direct bus. (run on sentence)  In fact, I had to transfer two times twice and then walk at least 15 minutes (spell out). I phoned to Phoning (this is a type of construction using an infinitive) the manager to make sure if the dinner would be going on schedule and I hoped she would say it had been canceled for just about any reason. Unfortuately she just told me I must get there before 4pm, otherwise it would be hard to have a table at 5:30pm which was the appointed dinner time.

I set out at 2pm for the mission. After two hours on the bus and walking time, I arrived at the famous resturant. I felt a little tired but still curious how what kind of a place it was. There had been were many people waiting there except aside from those who had already seated at the been around tables. I took a number paper (B3) and was arranged to sit on the sofa served with a book and some bread (the resturant prepared much for the waiting people). "There are only 2 tables before me. It will be quick to my turn". I thought. However I didn't hear any number was called during the next one hour. I realized that the people were sitting around the tables were still waiting for their parteners. I felt hopeless.

As I was losing patient, B1 was called and there was none responsed. My hope was arising and prayered that B2 would not be answered. My prayer succeeded and I got the table for six on time. The colleagues came one after one and they were all surprised we had been had a table already. That comforted me somehow.

I had prepared and waited for the dinner over three and a half hours that what I wanted was only finishing the meal quickly and getting home. How about the dishes? I don't know. What made me impression was the long way and crowded sofa.
