Scrrr
So tomorrow...first day of work and I am terrified. Starting a new job is always nerve wracking, but with the culture shock coursing through my veins I feel like I'm jumping into a volcano. My boss...as I think I said before is a fabulous English woman who happens to LOVE Americans (rare even for NZ) and she made it sound like there would be massive amounts of hand holding the first day.
I have to wear a uniform (EVERY job here has uniforms...even bartenders) but I get to wear whatever shoes I want as long as they are close toed and since the only close toed shoes I have are my Hiking Boot and beat up crummy old Adidas I HAD to go shoe shopping and ended up buying TWO pairs, but I wanted to be able to 'look different' when I felt like it in my uniform and I wanted to feel prepared. So since one pair was only $14.99 and the other pair was $40 I'm not kicking myself over this. I was able to restrain myself from buying a hoard of hand bands earring and necklaces.
So...tonight is Quiz night at Rosie's (Our Irish Pub of choice) and Mike's first night as doorman, so I am leaving early to go to bed...alone :( So I can get up early the next morning for work at 8:30.
