first day of work today...didn't get lost except on the way home i made a wrong turn on sahara which is my street. it's hard to explain it's a major road and i take it to get to my apartment. once i saw i heading towards the hilton and that part of town i was like shit i need to turn around haha. it was late and i was tired so i can use that for my excuse. it's the only time i goofed up since i've been driving out here. .but i work in henderson at lake las vegas at the hyatt obviously, and it's crazy, there's like nothing around lake las vegas and then you drive and boom a whole shit load of lights are in your face. it's blinding it's so bright. it's cool though to see the skyline of the strip. i can't believe i live in las vegas how cool is that?
but anyway work was pretty good but it was so slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww. i'm gonna be working hot side cause i hate pantry and that's what i did at my old hyatt. i did pantry tonight so i can learn all the stations. tomorrow i work grill then the rest of the week i'm on saute bitches. i can't believe i'm getting the chance to work saute. it's unheard of for a girl to work saute right in the beginning, but i guess my chef was thinking since i've already done grill for a year i have enought hot side experience. so i'm sooo totatly stoked to work saute. and we're gonna be busy on the weekend which means i'm going to get my ass kicked...ahhh i love it. i hope i fufill all my chefs expectations since i was highly recommended from my old chefs. anywho, it was really weird though working at a hyatt and not knowing anyone. i miss everyone from newport. i got really teary eyed a few times at work thinking about corey,sir patrick, brian, jen, petar, mdog, tracey, devon, michelle, lindsay megan and the list goes on and on and on. i could prob name you everyone in that hotel. and i miss being able to joke around with my chefs. like calling marty mdog or being perverted and getting hugs from steph. i so need to go back and visit. today i was really ready to move back. but i need to do this for me. to show myself that i'm a strong person and i can pick up and go where i want and do what i want to do.
ok i need to showah and get some sleep. aww i miss that too, making fun of the boston accent...sigh
and i miss my family like crazy. it sucks this time change. i used to call my mom when i got out of work but now it's to late :(
