Ok, Let's try this again!! So I started this blog, with hopes that I would be dedicated to it! And I have, but my computer has not. I got a virus about three weeks ago (right when I started posting) and it kept me out of Google (Gmail and Blogger) and Facebook. Which I found out was actually a good thing because it was a tracking virus, so as these programs were protecting me they were annoying the hell out of me!! (Thank God for iPhone and Britton's MacBook)
With all this I did continue to blog, well through my notes on my phone. So within the next few days I think I will "back post" my past few weeks, because it has been quite the few weeks.
Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows a little bit about it, the main thing is that my job of 3 years has closed on me. Well, not just me...all of Jacksonville!! I worked at Times Grill Restaurant in Jacksonville, FL. I worked there from the 2nd day they were open to the very last hour. I was the last employee to walk out the door before they locked it and it felt right. I put a lot into that restaurant, I worked any position they asked me, I worked holidays, nights, days, weekends, doubles, I was also the marketing manager (apparently I did not do the best job haha), but I did my best. Many employees were very angry at them for how it all went about, and it just showed a lot of immaturity on there part. As they went around bashing the management instead of just embracing the next step. I am sorry for all of my fellow co-workers who lost their jobs and were not offered positions to return, but that is the restaurant business ESPECIALLY in Florida (No-Fault State) you are in a dispensable profession.
On a lighter note, I was offered to return with a position as Bartender and Trainer. It is a different company so we will see if I accept after I learn more about them. As of now I am on the job hunt, though it doesn't feel like I don't have a job just yet, more like a very long vacation! And job interviews have been very slim in the past three years. I used to nail them, so we'll see this week. Craigslist and Monster are getting a lot of traffic from me, so hopefully that helps and I'll just have to "hit the cement" (as I confusingly said it to Britton the other day) and just keep those fingers crossed!
PS Shameless beg, but if anyone out there who does possibly read my blog that knows of any openings in the Jacksonville Area, I am a bartender, server, and almost done with my AA in Business!! Hell I should just throw my resume on here! haha!!
