Ok - so as some of you may know, last year I was able to put a big check ✓ next to a major bucket list adventure by going to Thailand and Bali with a backpack and solo 🌍. Of course the list keeps growing everyday, but I am now able to say that I am a waitress at a cute little cafe resto!! I know this is the weirdest thing you've read in a while, but it's always been on my bucket list to see what its like. I don't know why that is (call me crazy) but check, check, check.
What in the *&^% was I thinking!!! I mean granted I've been a barista too ;), but serving in a restaurant is V.E.R.Y. hard. My back is breaking and I feel like I got hit by a bus. Do I want to do that for the rest of my life? No! Absolutely not but it's a job I've taken in the interim while I continue to set up a nice little (actually big) life for myself in Toronto. I went from corporate positions to being a waitress but hey - you do what you gotstaaaaa.
My first week is almost up so here is what I've been up to!
1) Got a job within my first day as a server! Come to Pantry Foods for a visit and watch me make a million mistakes 🙈. Just kidding I'm already a pro!!
2) Took the bus and subway to the complete other side of town to explore, found a cute cafe, blogged of course, and applied to positions that actually seem exciting rather than just anything.
3) Went on a dinner date to Grazie: ;) Yum Yum. #singlelifeforever
4) Had some phone interviews, set up some for next week (wish me luck).
5) Went to a fundraiser / networking event and had a nlast from the past (literally bumped into old teachers and schoolmates in a new city - imagine that).
6) Met my cousins for the first time <3 .="" awesome="" font="" kids.="" such="">
7) Caught up with my very special aunt who is one of a kind!
8) Got honked at a few times because I forgot to turn right on red...Woopsy.
9) Tried my first Poke bowl @ Pokito.
10) Meditated for the first time with a girlfriend <3 boo.="" energized.="" felt="" font="" for="" i="" so="" thanks="" that="">
It's Friday night, my body is aching from my shift and I can't feel my feet.
Weekend is jam packed so hopefully I make it out alive.
Lesson of the day: I may not be where I want to be right now and I think I am going to have to take a few steps back, but baby steps is ok.
