Restaurant Row

Eighth full day here and I have a job! My lofty goal was to find one in a week but hey, I was close. I start training tomorrow afternoon at Bourbon St. Bar and Grill on Restaurant Row (pic below) in the city. I’ve met the GM and Assistant GM and both seem like they’ll be good to work for. I’ll keep you posted, of course.I did miss breakfast this morning and instead, caught up on some much needed sleep. Brooklyn wore me out! After my morning class I had to do some shopping for work clothes and then did my first load of laundry in a public laundromat. It reminded me of college, but with old people. Apparently some have no problem just throwing their clothes in and leaving but I’m not that trusting. You can also pay the attendant to wash dry and fold for you which seems cool, until I saw someone’s $30 bill for the service. I’ll pass on that and use the time to read or study.

Tonight I planned on taking a Legs and Abs class at the gym until I found out it was a step class. I’m not into step so I did my own workout instead.

Work is already getting in the way of my fun ha. I will be missing a yoga class and free admission night at the Museum of Modern Art while training. I am very grateful though and can’t wait to make some money!
