Haven't updated in awhile; and it's because I've been working like crazy these last 2 weeks. I have officially taken, settled in and started really liking my new job. It's definitely my first "big girl job", running the kitchen and managing, co-managing the whole enchilada with another person, including non-stop catering on top of regular service. I'm ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED. But I am learning a ridiculous amount of the business/finance aspects behind the restaurant business as well as managing the kitchen and recipe testing. There's always a million things to do and get done but the business itself is so successful and the kitchen will be up to where I think it needs to be in 2 more weeks [that's my goal anyways]. So far I'm pretty much killing it. **Hallelujah** the work is non stop, including but not limited to buying flours across NYC for new catering orders and throwing all of the bags in an uber at 7:30 at night, along with many other ridiculous and random tasks that have and will continue to occur. The hours are crazy non stop but it's so worth it. I'm excited to keep learning and keep working, the team I have is awesome and beyond grateful to have me on board with them which speaks so much for me. It reminds me that I'm successful at what I'm doing and actually training my line cooks how to be better and more efficient. Bettering a business with an owner that is beyond bom dot com: her, myself and the other manager are a really close knit group of girls running the joint and were doing it really well so far. I haven't posted much because other than being busy I have been struggling to stay positive. Which probably sounds weird right now, but starting a new job with a new salary and new people and tasks is all very stressful with a lot of change which I handle better now but still struggle with. I'm definitely starting to save for my own studio apartment, aiming for May but we will see. I think realistically I should wait until july but every bone in my body just wants to go for broke and have my own place again, mostly because I need my dog. I miss him soo so so so much it's heart breaking honestly. Thank goodness my living situation now is awesome, my roommate is a successful and rising film producer and her and I still get along really well, we kind of have the same vibe of non stop work to make it in our industries. Which is really good for living with each other because neither of us are ever even home ha. With that being said, my butt has to be at work at 4:30 so I need to be up at 3:30 so I'm definitely going to bed ASAP. BUT ALL IN ALL: I'm making big girl money at a big girl job in the industry I love with an AWESOME team and mentor 🖤 ta ta for now; back to Baz 🥯 in the A.M.🖤
