I'm Still Alive...
I need to apologize for my lack of updating. Being pushed back and forth between two different stores, different hours, and different days off I kinda let this slide. I finally ended up being back in my Boston store for good last Monday. Now I am officially the Assitant Manager there and we are slowly in the process of creating responsibilities and a schedule for me. It looks like I will be a type of Kitchen manager that will watch the food production, catering production, line set up and running of it, specs/recipes. It will be a challenge for me to teach myself to stand back and manage my employees rather then always jumping in and helping, since that is not always needed. I will be opening a day or two a week, and closing 2-3 nights a week. So I won't always have to be up so early which will be nice. I will drive on some days if I feel like it, but still it is more economical to take the train, considering the company pays for my pass. It does feel nice to be finally done with training, a little nervous on if I will get the hang of my new responsibilities. But then I remind myself how much I have learned, accomplished, and everyone that I have impressed in the past two months. And knowing that they want to see my achieve great things with the company is very reassuring. Friday is our Holiday Party. I was hesitant to go for my obvious reasons, but then again I should meet everyone or at least put a face to the voices I talk to on the telephone and email all the time. I am sure I will end up having a good time.
Last Thursday we all went to Dave & Busters for Stephanie's Birthday. It was a good time since I have not been there in a while. I got rice cooker/steamer with my tickets. However it was a bad choice of me to stay out that late and then get only 3 hours of sleep. So on top of it being Friday which I am usually tired and ready for the week to be done, I had little sleep, and came down with a cold. Friday was just miserable at work, I could not wait for it to come over. I came home, visited Kris a little before he left. However that mostly consisted of me falling asleep on his bed. Then I came home got into my pjs and pretty much knocked out until 2pm the following day. I felt 10 times better so obviously a lot of it was just lack of sleep. I still have a little cold and stuffiness, but that will go away. Plus that happens when you have a week of temps in the 50s and then it gets freezing cold and snowing the next day. I put my car on the street in the apartment complex on Sunday and already recieved a call from someone who wants to come look at it on Saturday. I will just be happy to get it off my hands. With that money and the tax money I will hopefully be getting it will make the next few months a little less tight. I am still a little nervous waiting to see how next month will be when all the car, insurance, and other bills all come together.
I got my first issue of Rachael Ray's new magazine, and I can already tell I am going to love it. Plus my Mom got me a subscription too without knowing I already had one, so I now have two years of the magazine. I just love her and she really is what makes cooking fun. I am seriously considering getting the next step up in cable mostly for the food channel and her. There are otehr stations I miss as well. But I will wait until next month to see how all the finances work out.
Well I think that pretty much brings everyone up to speed, and hopefully it will not be this long until the next update. Good Night...
