My next big purchase is a pair of Dr. Scholl’s insoles.  I just got home from my second day on the job.  I would of written this post yesterday after my first day but I was dead tired and could hardly type.  Man are there a lot of things to learn about this business!  I’m like someone who’s never even seen snow trying to snowboard down a double black diamond.  But I have some good people training me.  I’m giving myself a month before I’m totally comfortable working at the restaurant.  I’m getting to know the back of the house guys as well.  They start breaking out beers about 15 minutes before closing.  I thought I’d make a good first impression today and brought two six-packs of some Lagunitas IPA that Augi had given me.  It’s probably the first IPA they’ve ever drank in their lives.  A few guys couldn’t stand them but the others thought they were great.  That’s usually the type of reaction most people have of IPA’s, you either love or hate them.  But hey it’s free beer right?

After I’d finished setting up the tables for tomorrow I stuck around to talk with the server who I’ll be replacing.  According to him the boss seems to like me.  He’s been around for eight years so he knows the owner pretty well.  It was great news to hear.
