Those 1st 2 weeks of work are the roughest; if you can get through them, you've got it made.

But remember Borderstone, the first day is the easiest, because they don't expect you to know anything but your name, address, ss# and how many deductions you want to take. So relax and have fun!

Congratulations!

[/QUOTE]That's true, too. But for me they were the roughest because I didn't know what all to do, plus I didn't know any of my co-workers, and if you're not used to working the longer hours (in Stone's case).

F. Away! :D Me,not used to working long hours?

When I first started at the hotel,I had nothing but long hours! can you say,8? 10? 12? 14? 16?!!

Good $$$,true but man,talk about exhaustion! Aside from hosting I also was a banquets houseman,meaning...I set up rooms for dinner functions and meetings. That meant ligfting tables & chairs,getting linens and making sure the entire thing looked "perfect"!

I've worked many a long hour and many different shifts AM and/or PM.
Now,I'll be on a permanent 8 hour day and can go home at night like a normal human being.

Regarding that,I'll say now,see you all next weekend.
Don't worry,be here sooner than you know it!
Been the B,catch-ya later!
