Work

If only I were staying in Boulder long enough to get another job, I would most certainly do it. Working at Buffalo Wild Wings for the past year has been interesting to say the least. I have met some great people, but haven't made a whole lot of money there. When I started, I was already a BWW trained server, but I understood the seniority deal well enough and didn't mind others moving up before me. But really? 9 months before I got to start serving, and only during the slow season? Who's idea was that? And even now, I still am getting wasted shifts. Last night for instance, I was a greeter. Since no one really comes to our BWWs, I pretty much got paid to stand around and watch shark week. Which is totally amazing because its only the greatest week in television! One thing I will not be sorry to leave behind is that sorry excuse for a job. You can give corporate and upper management all of the suggestions for improvement you like, but when it comes down to it, why would they take advice from someone who has been in the restaurant business for over 5 years? Seems silly doesn't it. The worst of it is when you have a culturally insensitive manager, who will readily voice opinions on race, religion, and other cultural beliefs that I find very offensive, but when complaints are sent to higher levels and no change occurs, you start to wonder if they even opened the surveys they made us fill out.

On the up side, I got off work pretty early last night and got the amazing idea to turn my little nook of a bedroom in the living room into an epic blanket fort...yes, a blanket fort. But, my roommates needed to get up early this morning, so I decided to wait. Good thing I waited, because purchase of an extra blanket will be necessary to make my fort the perfect size. Also, I like sleeping with my sheets, and don't want to lose them to the fort. When it is finally complete, pictures will be posted. Time to finish up my classes, more tomorrow morning.
