So Far So Good...
Just a quick update to say that the job still seems to be working out. It's actually been a really good experience for me in a number of ways...

Noodles & Co
Okay, so part of the reason I haven't blogged in a while is because I finally got a job! Of course that's really no excuse since it's just a part time job. =) Anyway, I started working at a restaurant called Noodles & Company about 5 weeks ago.
I waited so long to say anything because I wanted to make sure that I liked the place and was actually going to keep the job before I told people. Also, because it seems a little funny (at least to me) that I just got my degree in Hospitality Management and decided to take a part time hourly position instead of going into management. Although I took the job with the understanding that if I choose to pursue management training that would be no problem. I haven't worked in about 4 years though, so I really was in no hurry to jump in with both feet. Right now I feel just peachy working 20 hours a week.
The job at Noodles & Co. is really perfect for me right now because it is less than a mile away from where I live. Also, they do most of their business at lunch during the week, so they were happy to give me only daytime hours M-F. You see, that has been one of my biggest problems finding a job in the hospitality industry...I don't want to work weekends, nights, or holidays. I know, I know, what the hell was I thinking pursuing a career in this industry when I don't want to work the prime hours for restaurant business! Anyway, for now I think I'll just float along and see where this job leads.

Oh My Gosh, Where Have I Been?
Well, I've been right here! Just too lazy, busy, preoccupied, whatever, to do any writing. As it happens, I'm actually too busy to post right now as well! So, I guess for now I'll just say "hi" and I'll be back later to update my happenings. =)
