Work Work Work

So I've basically been working almost everyday. I work in the kitchen 2 days a week and then I'm at the FOH for the rest of the week. I usually work about 5 days a week, but lately I've been working 6 days. I don't really mind working this much, though, because I'm making good money and this town is pretty remote. It's not really like I'm missing anything when every place in town closes at 8pm! I sat in on a manager's meeting last Friday and that was pretty interesting. There have been a few problems with employees in this establishment (as with any operation), so it was interesting to see how the manager's went about handling the various situations. Also, I have been offered a FOH manager position here. The MOD (manager on duty) schedule came out yesterday and I was on it! I've never been a manager, and the fact that I've only been here a month, was flattering. It lets me know that they have noticed my hard work and appreciate my work ethic.

In the kitchen, I made pretty standard orders that came through. Burgers, wraps, and other sanwiches were just some of the few things that I've made. We recently had a wedding party of 150 people and i had to make 150 parmesean cheese cups (see picture below) for all of the caesar salads. I've really enjoyed my time in the kitchen so far. I really thought it was going to be awful and I have been dreading it since the beginning, but now that I've worked in the kitchen, I really enjoy it! I actually look forward to the days that I'm scheduled to cook.
