It's been a busy couple of weeks! Several major things have happened in my life over the past two weeks, but I'll just cover the work situation here:
About a month ago I started applying for all sorts of random jobs. Pretty much anything I possibly might be able to get. And then two weeks ago, three of them suddenly came through. Two of them were very promising interviews which looked like they might come up with an offer, and one actually did come up with an offer. And I took it. It's a kitchen job in a five star resort complex.
One of the others was a software engineering role in a small company - so this led to some interesting career direction pondering: Should I try to give my old career another crack? Or should I just go with the kitchen job? Noting that I'd already accepted the kitchen job offer, and it would really be bad form to pull out within a week or two of signing the contract and going through their induction and all. So I decided to go with the flow of least bad karma there. The software company hadn't even offered anything officially yet, so withdrawing that application wasn't really such a big deal.
At any rate, I'm starting at my new job tonight. I've had a very full week of (paid) induction and training, but no actual work yet. As far as back-of-house hospitality jobs go, I don't think you can really do any better. But we'll see how it goes with the actual work tonight of course. And with the routine that follows in the next couple of weeks.
