My Left Foot !!!!
OMG............So, I am just back from my first "official" day at work....How did it go I hear you ask.....???
Well, I think it went okay, Thats always a difficult one to answer, but before I sit down and disect every tiny little detail...which undoubtedly will lead to me believing i was absolutely awful, inadequate, didn't do anything right,a waste of space, and embarrassment , Yeah actually, I did okay, I did my best, and everyone seemed happy, from the guests right through to the servers and the chef!!!!!
So, I started at 1pm and was thrown directly into serving along side the GM...freaking scary!!!!....its very funny, we had buzzers to wear, and every time a meal was ready, the buzzer would buzz, and as I had it on the waist line of my skirt, it vibrated and scared the living daylights out of me!!!!...lol...it was a bit of a thrill as well though....lol...then from 3-6 I was in charge of overseeing the setting up the dining room for evening service, as well as directing the staff, delegating, and making sure everyone was 'au fait' with the menu for tonight.
Then at 6, the GM came in and said during service, I was to be the host....to greet the guest, converse with them, take their orders, see them to their seats, take their drinks orders, and....ADVISE THEM OF WINES, AND WHISKEYS !!!!!!!!!...ARGHHHHHH!!!...I swear, I nearly had to be peeled from the ceiling!!!!....this was the one thing I was dreading most of all, and hoped to avoid!!!.....But, you know what, I actually even surprised myself, it went very very well, especially the whiskey side of things, so I'm really really happy.
I know there were quite a few things I could have improved on, but in fairness..Throw me a freaking bone!!!!!...lol..I did well, considering it was my first night!!!
On a funny note, I was walking through the dining room, and the smell of burning was really really strong....I naturally thought the kitchen had burned something...but nooooo...one of the napkins on an empty table had fallen over, right onto the tea light and was in full flame!!!!...lol....it was a bit mental but very very funny!!!!
Anyway, this is a picture of my left foot....stupid I know, but I'm shattered, I've just done a 12 hr shift, and my poor footsies are the only thing on my mind at the minute as they are so so sore!!!!...
On my wee toe, you may also be able to see a blister, which had formed, and now burst....lovely, I know....Sorry!!!....lol
Anyway, I'm home now, exhausted, but happy....im heading to bed now, per chance to dream, so until tomorrow, thank you dear friends for all your support and faith in me...I am truly grateful!!!!!
