Cheers to that.

Well my orientation and first training shift are officially over. I’ll have to pause a moment because I need a drink. A big tall double-strong drink before I go any further.

OK, much better.

It was neither my worst nor best experience but let’s just say train wreck bears a striking resemblance to their training program and their whole way of doing things. For down south I presume its status quo. Well that’s what happens when the owner promotes his little girl to AGM. You know like, she’s like worked practically like every position and, ya know, like worked her way up…she’s been managing 1 year now ( of her whole 25 years of life) and she couldn’t even tell you what the training wage (aka minimum wage) is. She’s like, ya know, dumb.

It sucks to be treated like a subordinate (Oh, that’s right, I AM a subordinate) when you know you are more talented, more qualified than your superiors. But that’s neither here nor there. I am what I am. For now.

The staff was really pretty nice a great deal of them are new and barely knew more than us (there’s Tommy, the 21 one year old dudette from Florida that I’m training with). I can see why they’re at a loss from their training program. As a training specialist it was silently killing me. That said, I should totally know everything, right? Well, I have no retention for liquor and wine info. We’ll see how that goes. Then there’s the computer system; 9 times out of ten they’re programmed in some dumb way so that’s always a struggle too. I’ll just have to work through it. That’s what servers do. UHG!

I have an interview of sorts tomorrow. We’ll see what comes of that. Maybe I’ll get a chance to be something else. Cheers to that.
