Well, I got the job and started on Monday. The good news is that I seem to fit in and they really like me. They already ask for menu ideas and encourage me to take additional responsibilities.
The bad news is I start at 5 AM. Some days of the week, I don't get home from That Italian Place until 10 or 11 PM. When I get up at 4:15 AM that makes for precious little sleep. The Bosslady is understanding about it though. She says if it gets to be too much I can wait to come in until 6 AM. So that's good.
I got to make it to the UT Great Waltz for the second half last Saturday. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since the last time I went dancing. Hard to believe how much I miss it. I'd asked for the night off but the boss at Italian said no. Maybe I could leave early if they weren't busy. Didn't get to. Afterwords, I didn't feel like going dancing, but I went anyway because I knew C was waiting for me at the dance.
At this point I'm counting down the days until I'm done with the evening gig. It's only three months. I can do 3 seventeen hour days a week until then. Besides, it will make the budget happy after so long. So yeah, jobby happiness.
