Day 1 of work

Alrighty, so for those of you who don't know.  I am working at Prime Time cafe for the next 3 months.  And let me tell u my first day was comical to me ( perhaps to only me but I shall still retell it for you).

So I had to be at work at 9 and just like a little kid on their first day of school I was SOOOOOO excited.  I had all my clothes laid out, I packed my lunch, and with my knife kit in hand I marched out to the bus stop with the biggest smile on my face thinking what a good way to start the day.

I was supposed to start training on the pantry and gardemanger station making salads, sandwiches, and desserts.  But the executive sous took one look at me and said you seem like a hot foods girl, let's try you out on the hot line.  Instead he put me on the busiest station in the kitchen =D fry ( middle station).

For my friends at the hospital, remember when we used to complain when the count was 200?
Lunch on a typical day we have 800- 900 covers.
For dinner we had 1000 and on the weekends it can be as much as 1200-1500 depending on holidays or events.  Needless to say it was very hot and very busy the entire 11 hours of my shift.  The funny part is when you go out on break and it is 94 degrees outside and it feels refreshing after being on that line lol.

The first day of work I trained during Lunch and was completely flabbergasted.  Then I did dinner almost by myself.  Today I opened and closed all by myself!!!! Can u believe it?  And I start training on another station tomorrow.   I am so excited to learn as much as I can because by doing so I'll be able to move up and hopefully be able to spend more time working around the parks at a variety of different restaurants.

This was longer than expected so I leave you all hanging in anticipation until I write again =)

Peace,

Ally
