This morning I had to go to an all-server meeting at the CF at 8:30am. I originally planned to get up and take a shower around 7am but that just didn't happen. So I got up around 7:45 and put on something casual and headed out the door. I was on time and was initially greeted by boxes upon boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, danishes, fresh fruit, ( Read more... )

I have been incredibly busy these past few days because of work, work, work. It is rediculas. I go to school and then go to work at 4:45 and get out around 12am. Damn. Despite the late nights, I'm still running strong without a hitch ( Read more... )

Sunday night was poker night and it was great fun. Scott hosted the gathering at his place, which is very close to Lenox Park, where Cam used to live. As Ivy, Lisa, and I were waiting for the elevator, Lisa managed to take a shit right in the middle of the capeted hallway! I exclaimed that it was "gross," but Ivy just decided to leave it there ( Read more... )

Today was my first real shift at the Cheese Factory. Everything went really well and I think I have the food and table numbers all down. I got there around 11:30 and ran food with Keisha downstairs until 12:15-that is when my DT, designated trainer, Carl showed up. Carl is 21 and very nice. He kept talking with other male servers right in ( Read more... )

So last night I went to Loca Luna with A.J. -to meet his friends I guess. Abbas told me that he planned to be at my place around 9 but he was about 1 hour late. I started drinking wine around that time. That huge bottle of white merlot is about half way gone now but last night I only had 3-4 glasses. I say 3-4 because I can't really remember.

Today was the last day of "classroom" training. I made another 100 on the visual test and missed only 2 on the 70 question one. I love being the best in the class- even if there is only 5 of us. Since Winston and I made a 100 on the visual test, we got to pick the desserts that we ate for lunch today. Winston chose the Raspberry Cream Lemon ( Read more... )

Today we had two tests at work and I aced the first one and missed 5 out of 70 on the second. I was so proud of myself but that was easily dampened when the trainer told us that those were only "practice" tests. Screw that. I guess I can do it again tomorrow- we have 2 more "tests." I should so fine ( Read more... )

Today was my first day at The Cheese Factory. It started at 9, we ate around 2, and then every thing finally ended at 5. We talked about all freaking 200 dishes on the menu and the bar glasswear. Tomorrow we have a test on the material that we over today... That shouldn't be too hard. It's a real bitch trying to remember what sauces go with ( Read more... )

Guess who called me today? A.J.! He is back in town and actually got back yesterday night and is at work today. He called me when I was buying my $150 spanish book. I was surprised to hear his voice. Tomorrow we are going to spend time together. Yeay ( Read more... )

So, my time has pretty much expired at the old lobster after my dinner shift tonight. That place was making me mad/crazy! I don't see how people can work there for multiple years at a time because it seems impossible. I guess there aren't many that are willing to climb their way outa there because of the reasons -comfort and lazyness. Now, I'm ( Read more... )
