First Day of Work

Last night was my first day of work here in my new town. They put me into the fine dining restaurant to start and it was a pretty scary thought to me since at my other job, I just bring food out instead of take orders and everything.

After the first couple arrived, I knew I would be fine. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. One of my tables had a couple celebrating their 30th anniversary. They were so sweet and the gentleman had been to Vancouver a few years ago so that got us chatting. It was a really fun night. There was only 3 chefs working and 3 of us so we were busy, but it was good.

At the end of the night my supervisor asked if I would stay at the fine dining restaurant to work instead of going to one of the other restaurants. She even told me that I wouldn't need much training! That was good to hear since I had never done fine dining in my life. Not a bad start...

In other things.. moving to a small town where you know no one has been a bit of a challenge. Since I cant move into my place I have been living in a hotel and its just uncomfortable to not have your own space to call home. When reality hits, it hits hard. I know the 6 months will fly by. I can't complain too much though. The view from my work is of a long stretch of beach that is nearly empty of people. I saw a dolphin in the bay yesterday too. I'm going to be living around the corner from my work and everything is at my fingertips. Once I have everything together and settled in, I think things will go a lot easier. I don't know how I'm going to keep myself busy on my days off, but I'll figure it out in time.

That's all for now... hopefully I will update some more pictures soon. I know posts can be boring without pictures.

Hope and pray you are all doing well! Make the most of the holiday season :)
