Next Career Move...Update on life...
As reported previously the casting call for managers has been postponed until at least October. So this week I went to the Casting office and applied for an internal transfer. No sooner than 12 hours later I got a call saying I would be transffered to Artist Point Restaurant at the Wilderness Lodge Resort in two weeks! Now I am very excited for this because it is a signature restaurant at WDW. Only open for dinner, $30 average for a plate, and located inside one of the best themed and one of my favorite hotels. I will be starting aroung the 18th of this month. Some of the signature dishes include a cedar planked cooked salmon, roasted portabella soup, and berry cobbler. I am very excited for this move and change of scenery. It will be nice to have a signature restaurant on my Disney resume.
I told everyone at my current location today. Some took it well, while others are not happy to see me leave and said they will try up until I leave to get me to stay. I was even offered to work next door at the Steakhouse. Which would be nice since I have friends there, but I want to get out of the hotel all together. I appreciate and it makes me feel good that they want to keep me so bad. I know that I am not leaving on bad terms and I will have good contacts with all the chefs and managers there. I also will be able to come back on days I need extra hours to work the podium or serving, which will be nice.
Yesterday I spent the day at Universal with Bob. It was a really fun day, and nice considering we never waited in lines all day. Those rides do tire you out a lot though! Afterwards I wnated to celebrate my new job and go out to eat, sadly Boma was on a LONG wait, so we went to Kona Cafe instead which I still love. This past Monday night Bob, my coworkers, and I went out to Pleasure Island. I had a GREAT time and it was nice to let loose and to hang out with my coworkers and for them to see me in a different atmosphere, as well as meet my bf, which they all loved. And it looks like we will be doing Mondays at Jelly Rolls and PI more often. We are trying to work out getting my birthday off on the 24th, so that we can spend the day at Universal and then do Mardi Gras at night.
I got my taxes done and getting $1200 back! I am using most for bills and what not, but I always buy myself a birthday gift with it. This year it will be a 20" flat screen TV and a dining room table. Other than that nothing else new really. Valentines Day is nearing and I am getting excited to cook and have a nice night with Bob. Will post another entry soon to keep everyone updated. I am getting good response for keeping up with this again.
Later!
