Woopeeeeee.
I got a job in the kitchen today at this place called Executive Inn out here in Kamloops. Its a fancy hotel/small casino/restaurant/banquet halll. I was interviewed by the head chef and the kitchen manager. The chef seemed kinda upity and was very "I dunno if we should hire you...." through the whole thing, but he ended up saying he'll give me a shot. Hell yeah. No more small time restaraunt stuff! A nice clean kitchen! A place I can be proud to tell people where I work! At least I hope so anyway.
Its all union too. Ive never had a union job. I only made $11/hr at my last place after 2 years, and here Ill be making $11.60/hr to start. Apparently the longer you stay the higher percentage of the maximum you can make, you get paid. So im on a 90 day deal with new employees where I only make 60% or something. But after those 90 days Ill make 80% or something, and after about a year Ill be at about $16 which isnt that bad at all. Itll be the best paying job Ive had yet.
Only thing is it seems they are starting me off in mornings. I HATE mornings. This wednesday at 6am, which means I gotta LEAVE home at a little past 5am. Blargh. Im usually still awake after being up all night then!
Oh well, new job! WOOOOOOOO!
