I really thought about updated every day since my last entry but it just didn't work out. I haven't had much to report and that's probably a good thing. I had my first Skype meeting for a group project for one of my classes. I truly don't understand what the end result is supposed to be, but was pleased to hear that my classmates weren't either ( Read more... )

I cannot believe that I haven't updated this thing in over 2 years. I think there's a few reasons for that ( Read more... )

I have just completed Day 2 of my Red Robin Manager Training. I still don't think it's truly sunk in that I'm living in Wisconsin and that I'm back at RR. It was very Twilight Zone yesterday on my first day. I was always on the other side of the Manager Orientation when Greenfield was a training restaurant. If I can get through this first few ( Read more... )

For those of you that haven't been following my random Facebook posts, I am leaving Walt Disney World and Florida to pursue a management position with Red Robin. I know, I know, I said that would never happen, but sometimes you have to make adult decisions. ;) Red Robin Manager is not my final resting point by any means, but it's a good start.

I had mostly pleasant Guests last night. When you have a night like that it makes the night go so much faster and it's like you aren't even at work. I had a group of ladies come up and thank for the dining recommendation. It had a guy write down my name because I helped him and his family get a different room, he says his wife likes to call and ( Read more... )

For those of you that didn't see my exciting news on Facebook a few days ago, I made the Guest Relations pool. This means that once positions open up, I'm eligible for them to call me. I'm anticipating a long wait, but I keep checking my phone for that wonderful offer phone call. It's not that I'm not enjoying my Concierge time, because I am, I ( Read more... )

I felt the need to blog because Duncan started work at 6 AM, and got up at 4:30 AM, which caused me to get up at 5 AM. I'm learning the reason I don't need that much sleep is because after I wake up a certain amount of times in the AM, I can't really get back to "real" sleep ( Read more... )

Yesterday marks the day that I officially completed my training as a Concierge Cast Member. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next. In the coming weeks, I am looking forward to a Guest Relations interview, Julie's bridal shower, a few visitors, and celebrating Waffle Day ( Read more... )

I have just concluded by 3rd day of on the job training in Concierge. I enjoy it much more than the Front Desk. It's not so monotonous. I have a lot to learn still, but I am starting to feel more comfortable. I was sad to see that next week I only had 2 days scheduled because I had asked off Tuesday for my Guest Relations interview and Saturday ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Duncan and I were able to pick up the same shift together. We worked from 5:00 AM to 2:00 PM doing Parade Audience Control at the Magic Kingdom for the Live with Kelly and Michael Show. It was a pretty nice over time shift. Most of the time, I really didn't do much besides answer questions. Of course, working in Magic Kingdom brings ( Read more... )
