First Day At Work
First day went awesomenessly!!! =)
Was reasonably busy for a Monday therefore gave me enough challenges. People there are awesome also, which made it so much better... I nearly tripped over a kid whilst going to clear a table- kid was so short!!!- and i think i've polished more glasses today than i have in my entire life.
Had to learn the hard way that one should NOT pick up hot huge plates or knives right out of the dishwasher- this was proven when the knife nearly landed in somebody's eye, but luckily they didn't notice.
Another important lesson was: NEVER wear new shoes to work. Ever. Not a good idea, even if you think they'll be fine, they actually won't. Felt like i was stepping on glass and brushing against cactuses..
One of the pluses of this job is that i get free lunch right from the chef- i had prawns!! =) Lunch took away some of the pain from my feet. =)
Overall a very good start; it felt like i made a good start with all the staff and i enjoy working with them.
Thumbs up! So far so good.
