  Well, I finally have a job. I pretty much fought tooth and nail to avoid
  it but I couldn't sit idly by anymore.

  I got a job in a restaurant, like all my friends have been telling me to
  do. It's at a little French Bakery/Bistro called "La Madeline" which is a
  pretty groovy place all told.

  The pay sucks, the hours are horrible and the work is hard. Today was
  my first day and I'm beat. I haven't worked in a restaurant in over 20
  years. But I had fun. I believe I'm going to wind up as a cook but they
  are training me in all the departments. Today I worked the line with
  drinks, making salads, taking some orders, and generally helping out.
  I'm so used to being the guy in charge that it's weird to not know
  where anything goes or how much to put on a plate.

  I burned my hands, spilled tea, ran out of strawberries, and pretty much
  did all the newbie mistakes but it was still enjoyable.

  When I interviewed they wanted me to apply for management but I
  want to learn the business from the ground up and then later apply
  for management. Right now I'm just enjoying myself and trying to
  get out of debt.

  Thanks for everyone who supported me in my dark times. Things are
  still dark and money is very tight. But I'm getting there.

  Yers,

  Gunthar
  New La Madeline Associate
