Today I started my new job at Tommy’s pizza restaurant. I used to work at Marc’s Grocery Store for the past couple of years, but I had to get a new job for college because classes went later into the day. I am very glad I was forced to get this new job though, because judging by my first day I am going to like this job much better. My shift was from 2pm to around 1130pm tonight. Although that is a long shift I don’t mind, when I go to work I would like to get as many hours in as I can in that shift. And my old job consisted of stocking all the shelves, running the cashier (which is much harder at a grocery store than other stores), and helping out with getting the carts they have. Now I simply work the line, which basically means making the pizzas and putting them in the oven. So, I get to simply stand there and work with some food, next to a few other dudes. Its nice because it takes literally no mental or physical effort and you can talk the entire time to your co-workers. It did take some skill to get used to getting the pizzas right, but I can tell within a few weeks I will have it down pretty well. Also today they told me was considered busy, and I never felt overwhelmed by the amount of orders I had to get. But the best part of the job - FREE FOOD. As long as you are working you can make anything on the menu, or get any of their drinks and have it right then. There is no going on break, you just take it when you want. At my old job I used to get in a bunch of trouble for having ‘free food’, despite the fact that it was a grocery store. And you were strictly limited to a 30 minute break. At this job you basically are on break anytime it isn’t busy. That’s it for tonight I am going to bed.
