saturday morning i had my menu test at texas roadhouse. i haven't been that nervous for something in a very long time. but after lots of studying, prayers, and maybe a small miracle, i passed with a 95% and got to continue on to orientation. ryan helped me study and agreed to take me to dinner if i got the job. so we got our behinds to olive garden for some endless pasta bowls, salad, and breadsticks. yummmmm.
the chicaiza family (who i stayed with while i was in
ecuador) is in the states right now, so we had a little reunion with them and all the osso people in rexburg. it made my heart so very happy. they are the greatest family and it had been a long 7 months since i'd seen them. it'd also been a long 7 months since i had spoken spanish all day every day so talking to them in spanish was a little harder than i anticipated. but it came right back. say hello to maibe and tanner...
and to beth ann and brianne...
monday was my first night of work at the roadhouse. it was overwhelming/exciting/stressful/fun and left me eager for day 2. i may or may not have slipped and fallen in the kitchen carrying two salad plates. it was beyond embarrassing. however last night went much smoother and i didn't fall a single time. tonight i'm training again and am going to have to start taking tables all by myself! i'm so nervous. so so nervous. but i love that our uniform is a tshirt and jeans. i love my job.
happy wednesday!
and be nice to your servers when you go out to eat :)
