It's Time To Go Back To Work...
It's really such a sad thing, because it's been a lovely sabbatical. My financial well, however, is just about dry. I got hired by an upscale nationwide restaurant. I haven't been a server in about 10 years, but I am hoping it will all come back to me. since I have my orientation class tomorrow. I guess it will take awhile to acclimate to a restaurant schedule (like the fact that Labor Day weekend clearly means nothing to them). I think it will be good for me to start working again though. I've become so complacent in my life, waiting for my condo to sell so that I can move forward.
I had my first training class yesterday and was handed a 200 page manual to read and memorize. I have training every day this week, the weekend off, and then I have to take a test on Monday. If I pass, I get the job. EEEEK! Truth be told, I'm a little nervous about it all.
Needless to say there won't be a lot of FOOD blogging this week, but wish me luck!!

Zuke, this is exciting and wonderful news. I am so happy for you. You're going to be doing a lot of studying, but that just means you're going to be even more well-informed than you already are!
Hope it all works out in the best ways! I'll be sending good thoughts your way, as always!

Good luck with studying/training. I had to do that for work back in April. It was a 2 week bootcamp for Microsoft certs. 1000's of pages of info and 10+ tests over the course of the 14 days.
Stressful and tough...I hope you are able to get through it unscathed and I look forward to your cooking posts once things settle down!

You can do it!
I worked at a corporate restaurant and the training manual was insane... but it's pretty easy once you get into it..
I loved waiting tables... most of the time.. hehe
