I got to train in filler today, so I got to sleep in and get to work at 8:30 (*sighs in relief*). But I was running late and nearly missed the 6:50 am bus...except that the bus was 20 minutes late and didn’t come until 7:10, so one of my coworkers, who was scheduled to start at 8, had to call another employee and have them come and pick her up and bring her to work, because riding the bus would have made her late for work.
Filling itself was fairly simple and straightforward. You get a cart with an upper closed off area for hot foods and a lower rack for desserts/drinks (and an extra lower rack for support purposes mostly, as it’s not sanitary to store food that far down). Then the expediter gives you a receipt that you match to an order number and they fill your cart with food, so you grab any refrigerated drinks and make sure all the food is in the cart. Then you bump the selected order and the tables talk to the dishes and the dishes relay back to the kitchen which table each order needs to be delivered to.
When lunch was over and all the orders were filled, I got to stay through closing process/dinner switch-over, so I got to set silverware on all of the tables in the ballroom, and other people put out plates and napkin roses and candles and made the room even more dignified than it already is. It made me want to work evenings (or at least have the option to - but my trainer says there’s no chance I’ll be able to cross train in that at all, so...there’s that).
I stopped at costuming on my way home and returned a full set of clothes and picked up another set of pants/shirt.
Some of my roommates were home and we finally went through the tv channels and wrote down what all of them are, so we don’t have to just flip through aimlessly looking for a specific show.
I’m behind on Shakespeare. I need to get back on top of that. But I got most of my books finally from the Clubhouse, and when I said I had a lot of packages and gave the desk my card, the guy said, “Oh, so you’re the famous Elizabeth,” and I had a ton of packages, and he offered a cart, and I said “no, it’s not that many books” (because it wasn’t), but he seemed worried about me and my capacity to carry all of them home. But honestly, I’ve carried stacks of books basically as tall as I am before, so it was no big deal.
I went to bed later than I wanted to, so I didn’t get a ton of sleep. :/
