Oh work is ok, thanks for asking.
But man... it's a lot tougher than I expected ( maybe I didn't expect enough).
Firstly, there's dealings with your employer ( who is not your dad!) who doesn't let you do whatever you want and doesn't let you act cranky or even talk back to him whenever you feel like it. Who doesn't let you stand around and idle and makes sure you're doing something every second of your shift just to make it worth every cent he pays you. Who eats away all your tips however little they may be. Who asks me to do something and then thinks I can't possibly do a good job of it and decides to take over.
That said, I think I've been given more trust to handle things by myself of late. I guess he was just concerned with having someone inexperienced and got a tad too far with the breathing down my neck. Oh, and he lets me chat and eat after my shift with friends who come over. I'm sure he's happy to employ someone who helps bring in the revenue right?
The chef and kitchen hand are pretty nice people as well so there aren't really a lot of reasons for me to get "unhappy" about over work. It's just the work load which I found daunting intially. I guess it's all a matter of getting used to it.
Anyways, to stay or not , it all depends on if I can juggle this together with all my other commitments. But for now, I'll just try to stick with it for a month first. Wish me luck for I have another shift tonight :)
