I feel like for at least a moments time I can breathe again, why...because the work week is over and I have all the bills in the mail...it's a good feeling. And I have completed my first two days of training which I guess have gone fairly well. My GM says I did a great job my first day out and aparently I think I may have made a good impression on my AD as well. Thats fine and good..Just hope all this works out okay. Since I have been at this Applebees I have been extreamly gaurded, making sure to stay as impersonable as posible. I do not like to share too much with anyone for fear of it turning around and biting me in the butt. But the few small things I have trusted in a few managers have already blown up in my face, and I get the feeling that I am not much liked in my position. Not that I care so much, but it sure would be nice to work with grown ups for once. Guess I have to remind my self that this is the way the resturant buisness opporates. I am actually excited about seeing where all of this leads me. I promise myself I am going to re enroll in classes (most likely an online course) this winter, and from there I will see where my free time sets, I know I am certainly not ready to give up any free time with my son for this company. But maybe I will someday open up more time, somewhere, just to get a better position. Just need that money incentive!!! Speaking of which, my man got another raise this week. I know its because he deserves it. He is a damn good/hard worker, and shouldn't be surprised that they recognize that. And yet he always seems surprised  . But I am jealsous, I want that recognition too, well in the kitchen I mean. I know I am getting it with this management position, but I want them to see I can do my "real" job well too. Ah well, maybe at review time. Anywho, time to go. Bed people are on their way out again today, and JOn and I have an adventure to tackle! Fishies here we come

Glad to hear all is well!!! Tell Jon I said CONGRATS on his raise!!! I miss you! Thinks suck here! give me a call ASAP!!!
