Just wanted to tell you all I finished my second day at my new job. I'm working at Chipotle, just a few blocks awar from Ocean, where I did my externship. It's nothing glamorous, but I'm actually enjoying going to work again. Sure it's fast food, but I'm using my education more here than I was at the Sumo.
I got the job with hopes of being the kitchen manager, though I can't exactly tell you what that means yet. It's a little complicated since everyone is either a crew member or a manager or something and while each is a manager of service or kitchen or whatever, it's really just a very confusing way of organizing the levels.
Basically, I spend all day making and seasoning rice and beans or cooking and cutting the meats. Since they're huge on freshness, it takes me all day because I make the same thing fifteen or twenty times a day in tiny batches. Nothing too hard, but always enough to keep things interesting. I guess I like the whole thing so much because it's everything I'd wanted to find in a place. Insurance for all, vacay, bonuses, tips and an actual organized system for everything.
So yeah, I went to school to work fast food, but that's alright. I'm enjoying what I do and I'm still better than I was.

Yeah, doesn't sound too bad. Sounds like they treat their workers pretty well. Benefits are huge.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, do you think you'll be able to get time off for the wedding? If you can't, believe me I understand. Even if you weren't at a new job, it's a lot to ask for you come 9 hours for a wedding. Just let me know.
