Little Breathing Room...

Week of training at the bistro is over. Thank goodness, from here on out I will be getting tips.

Got a bar job but need to wait n see how it works out. At some point I will most likely leave the bistro job for the bar job. But for the first month or so I will try to juggle the two of them - to maximize money and also to make sure the bar job is legit. If the economy wasnt so stupidly broken, and San Diego didn't take fucking months to get people hired I wouldnt have to stagger jobs like this...

In either case, I'm happy to have more work than I know what to do with for the moment. In addition to those two jobs I am also signed up with 3 catering companies and the one staffing agency. Staffing agency sucks. Catering is only 1 event a week, maybe two, so basically I have my weekends locked down with the three companies. But I only do one event a day.

Yesterday and today I had training at the bistro from 8am-11am and then an event for a different catering company from 3-11pm. I am currently resting my foot a bit before I jump back into getting ready for the event tonight. 

I really just want the bar job. It came to me a couple days after I had started training at the bistro though. I like the bistro but the money and hours suck. But they have me at 4 shifts a week starting off so thats basically full-time for a serving position. I couldn't say no to that. Then the bar called me! And they want me! So timing is all screwy. 

My focus today is just to get through this event. This will  be the 6th straight day of work this week. And it starts all over again 7am Monday. 

I really want that bar to get back to me to set up my orientation session! So I can start figuring out how to plant the seeds in my bistro manager's mind about leaving after a month or so.

I really like the people at the bistro, but again, hours and money isnt so great. Money is only ok because its several shifts a week. The whole reason to work is to make money right? So I will see which job brings me more of that, balancing the work environment/coworkers in the equation before making my decision.

AND OF COURSE while I'm dealing with all of this, my dude is still depressed as fuck and I am still feeling like wanting to get into a different line of work. I've no idea what to do with him other than try to be positive and patient. Who the fuck knows if i'm doing a good job or not. At this point I'm just trying to get back to my comfort zone of being able to fully support myself financially as well as save money. Thats always my goal.
