I've been meaning to update my Tumblr for some time, I just haven't had the time now that things have picked up. I have two jobs that I am involved in. So far, I've been training to be an 'S.A' or a Service Assistant (Side story about this below).

I told my managers that I would need some time to adjust to the climate and culture. I think I've mostly got a hold of it but I'm still a little iffy when it comes to holding up trays. I've been told it's an 'skill'. Still, I can't help but to feel may as if I am too weak or something. The trays aren't so heavy when I deliver food. It's carrying the empty plates and such that can be really heavy. Still, I've done my best. So far, I've only broke one tobasco sauce bottle. I guess that's pretty good, all things considered, right? Still, I'm really nervous when it comes to dropping things. I need to be more loud and assertive when making my way through other co-workers-- especially when some of them don't notice me there. Thankfully, people have been pretty helpful and kind towards me-- so far. I don't really care for the hostesses-- well, except for maybe 3 of them. The two others are a little annoying and inefficient.

 I've encountered so many firsts this past week:

First time cleaning tables (for a restaurant)

First time folding napkins for utensils

First time breaking something in a restaurant

First time I got tip share

First time being treated like a dumb ass by a customer (stupid hoes)

First time I was hugged by a co-worker (awww)

First time I got PAID TO DO WORK! WHOO!
