So I got a job at SaltGrass Steak house. I have never served before and I thought I would give it a try, change things up for a bit. SO this week I have been training, taking tests and learning the menu- that sort of thing.
Then on Saturday they decided to have me out on the floor to get some experience... well if any of you know me, you know that I am just naturally clumsy, so carrying a tray full of food is probably not the best idea for me. So I stared practicing on lighter trays ones with drinks or two plates on them.
One of the first plate trays that I brought out I did it!!! I balance the WHOLE thing the WHOLE way to the table. I set down the tray and as I was setting down the plate.... ooopppppssss. DID NOT see the cup of hot coffee on the table, and spilt it ALL over the little old lady. It was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!! I pretty much started crying and the manager came over. I thought I was going to DIE! So since I was already shaken up you can imagine that the rest of the night did not go well dropped a couple more drinks, but on myself this time!
All in all NOT the best night in the world!
I came home and Patrick knew it had been a hard day. He told me to go take a shower and get dressed because he was taking me out. so we went to get some food and to see HARRY POTTER!!!! That was probably the ONLY way I was going to stop thinking about my HORRIBLE night. I loved the movie. It was the BEST one yet! Honestly I don't think they could have done it better, I cannot wait until the next 2 movies. It will be interesting to see how they split the book up!
(That night I totally had nightmares about spilling coffee and plates on people! And getting yelled at and fired!)
So I have been thinking.. which is never a good idea... that I am NOT going to be doing the SaltGrass thing. I didn't like the atmosphere. all the people who work there are still in college WAY into partying and well, being college kids. And as MUCH as I am YOUNGER than almost all of them, I Definentally am not in the same boat. I am happily married, and I don't drink... pretty much the complete opposite of all the people who work there. The manager promised me that I would not have to work Sundays, but THAT was a lie. So I figured I don't want to work in a place that I don't like, cant do that work, and would be working all weekend. So i am quitting before I start, and get into something that I know I wouldn't like.
NOW if it was the only job that I had, of course I would stick it out. But for right now I am still at Berrett Pest Control, and for the most part liking what I do. It is kind of nice to try different things and figure out what I like! I keep thinking more and more that I would like to be a 3rd or 4th grade teacher. It just is the one thing that keeps appealing to me. SO I think I will just keep working until we are out of debt then I can start finding things that I like, and hopefully I will be able to go back to school and get a teaching degree.
