I Got a Job!

So I have been looking for a job here at BYU for a little while now. I've applied to quite a few, but unfortunately never actually gotten one. I applied to work at the Cannon Center, the Cougareat, and Legends Grill, but they all wanted lunchtime hours, which I did not have available. I applied for a few janitorial jobs, but those were all filled too fast, so there were no more spots available for me. I would check the job website occasionally, but many of the jobs weren't jobs that I could do. Then, one day I was at the library and I logged onto the job website and saw a lot of postings for the MTC cafeteria, and quite a few shifts were available when I was available! I called the number it had on the application right then and they scheduled an interview with me the very next day! At the interview, basically they just wanted to make sure that I would be able to do anything I had to for the job, and that was it. I started work just 2 days later, serving breakfast at the MTC!

My first day of work wasn't too bad. It was kind of stressful just because it was the first day of work and I had no idea what was going on. I was able to figure things out pretty quickly though.

The next day of work was kind of horrible. I was assigned to be a runner at one of the serving stations, which just means that I make sure all the food bins are always full so the servers can keep serving, and I would run dishes to the scullery if I needed to. Anyways, when I got to my station, none of the servers were there, and nothing was set up. I had to set everything up by myself. We were serving biscuits and gravy and also hard boiled eggs at that station, so I got the biscuits and the eggs out, but I couldn't find the gravy in the warming station. I asked the cooks where the gravy was, and they had just started making it. Well, this was unfortunate because there was already a big line of missionaries waiting for food. Thankfully one of the cooks made a smaller pot of gravy quicker than the rest of the gravy would be done, so I could start serving. By this time, there was one other server there, but there were supposed to be more. Eventually they all got there, but that doesn't mean the problems were solved. We had a few missionaries come up to us to inform us that their hard boiled eggs were not hard boiled. For some reason the tub of hard boiled eggs was hard boiled eggs, with a few raw eggs mixed in. I don't know who thought that was a good idea....but it was really gross.

Then I worked on Monday also, and that wasn't bad! The only problem is that work is kind of early so I get a little tired throughout the day, but I think my job is a good job!
