I started working at Mimosa for lunch on Tuesday. I've been training (today is day 3) and it's a pretty good time. The people there are very nice and helpful. It's such a fine dining restaurant though, I sometimes feel out of place. I guess I just won't joke around as much as I do at Big Daddy's. I think that working two jobs is going to be really tough, but maybe it's just because I'm training at Mimosa and I'm having to study for all these tests after I've been working literally all day. I'll go to Mimosa at 10 (but leave the apartment at 9 because traffic from South Charlotte to Uptown is
RIDICULOUS! I leave Mimosa around 2.30 and begin my trek back to South Charlotte which takes probably 25 - 30 minutes. I go home to let Stoli out and play while I change into Big Daddy's uniform. Then I usually have to be at Big Daddy's from 4.30 to around 10 or 11. Last night I didn't get home until 11.15. By that time, I'm pretty beat. Thank goodness Shugart is around to let Stoli out while I'm not home. When we move into the house, the boys will be there. Which concerns me about Christopher. I told him I didn't want him to resent me because he had to take care of my dog or anything. As much as he loves dogs, I don't want him to think I'm a neglectful mom. He said he wouldn't. I'm hoping the days of two jobs is coming to a quick end, but we shall see.
Speaking of jobs - FS Food Group (which owns Big Daddy's) is opening a BBQ place in Plaza Midwood right off Central which is the road the new house if very near. So, maybe I can make the switch over there and not have to drive all the way to Ballantyne to work. That would be ideal. I talked to my general manager last night and she said she would like to use me to be somewhat like a trainer at the BBQ place since I've been at Big Daddy's long enough to know the atmosphere and expectations of the company. I took that as a compliment.
I really hate restaurant tests...but I'm off to study for mine. ugh.
