New Journey #2

I can't tell you how excited I am to start my very first job. Yes, you may be thinking, "well Linda, you're 19 and you haven't had a job yet?" The answer to that is obviously yes, but do not go judging me as being irresponsible, apathetic, or resistant. Throughout my Junior and Senior years of high school, I was intensively involved with an extracurricular activity. I had practices everyday after school for two hours, then book loads of homework. Friday nights consisted of games that lasted until 10 pm, and weekends full of volunteering. Squeezing a job in such a tight schedule would have gnawed me to the bone. Since graduation, however, I've been searching everywhere for a job, but in this economy, it's slim to none. Luckily for me, my best friend was able to land me an interview with her boss, and I was hired. This may be "cheating", but hey, it's a job and I'll take it :) Now onto the reasons for my excitement. I feel so comfortable and so in-place whenever I am inside this restaurant. The employees who work there, and even the managers, all get along like a big family and have so much fun while working. Being yourself is the only option. I love to talk, make people laugh, make myself laugh, help others, and just enjoy what ever it is I'm doing. This job does not put a limit on the things I love, rather, it is expected that I keep perusing what I love. I'm not saying that this job is going to be an easy one, no. It requires great determination and responsibility. There are expected ways of accomplishing tasks, and if these tasks are not accomplished, there are serious consequences. These consequences aren't meant to scare someone, or make them afraid to work. They make you stronger as an employee, and in the long term, can provide great privileges. I cannot wait to begin my journey as an employee for this establishment. With the friendliest people, great atmosphere, and high expectations, I know that I will enjoy my time working :)
