Lonely

Not much to say this week, other then we've been doing training the last few days at work. Some people are catching on, but for the most part I'm not too impressed. We'll see, we have a few "mock" services, until the grand opening this Friday. I spend most of my days there, and I'm hardly ever at the hotel.

I've been in Waltham for 7 nights now, and it's definitely taking a toll. I'm getting pretty lonely, something that usually doesn't' happen. Most of the time I value my privacy and personal space, but this is a little too much. I FINALLY found an apartment today, but I won't be able to move in until June 1st. I don't expect the company to pay for the hotel this whole time, I don't want them to think I'm taking advantage of it. I guess I have some brainstorming to do.

I've worked the last 9 days in a row, and I had today off. I didn't do ANYTHING, but it was nice. After today, I'm not sure when my next day off is. To track my time in the restaurant, I've decided to grow (or attempt to grow) a beard. I just shaved a few minutes ago, and I will not shave again until my next day off. Pictures to follow later......

PostSecret of the Week:

Stress (To the Tenth)

T minus 12 days until the grand opening. The last we heard, there is NOT going to be a general manager. That puts me at the helm, something I wasn't really anticipating so soon. Part of me feels flattered that they would even consider me. Heck, I've only been with the company for a mere two months. But at the same time, I'm pretty terrified. I don't feel as though I'm ready yet, something that we actually discussed today. I was pretty excited about coming up as an assistant manager, and learn everything/anything from a new GM. Now that there is no GM to learn from, I feel as though I'm being tossed into the fire. No better way to learn then, right?

Orientation is this Friday, and the training begins this Saturday. After that, my social life will vanish completely for a few months, until we get the place up and running. It was nice knowing all of you. See you on the other side.

Questions To Ask Prop...

Three months ago everything was chaotic. Looking for a job, Googling "Questions to ask a prospective employer". Things in life are pretty fast right now. It's only been a short six weeks, but I'm already Googling "Questions to ask a prospective employee". Part of me thinks these guys are out of their mind, but this promotion has got me really excited about the future.

I'm heading to Newton tomorrow to help open up a new restaurant. We have 26 days to make it happen, starting with interviews this week. Hopefully I can move out of the house in the next month or so, something that's always been a dream of mine.

Spending Easter doing exactly what I do best..relaxing. Just picked up "Vinyl", the Magic Hat Spring seasonal. I've never had it, but I was hooked after the first few sips. It's a darker lager with nutty undertones, but still manages to retain some sweet flavors. All and all, a good day. I have a feeling the next month is going to be pretty crazy at work, so I apologize in advance if I disappear.
