the new job..

so this week has been INCREDIBLY insane at work...

first day-wedding reception for 2 of the residents, they are adorable and just got married. :)
second day-i got thrown in to lunch because we had some people not be able to come because of the snow and they didnt schedule enough people..
third day-getting the hang of things, one person was fired and the other couldnt come in because of the snow.....so we were short 2 people..
fourth day-lunch was just me and the dining room manager, and both of us are new and didnt know names of all the residents AND she had meetings so i was by myself. the residents were VERY understanding of me having to ask their names to see what they wanted. then after lunch we were getting ready for dinner and the ceiling sprung a leak. then before we knew it the whole dining room had water and it was leaking from the can lights and out of the columns and coming out of the outlets. it was insane! we moved all the furniture out of the dining room, a room where they put a puzzle together and the cafe. we were scrambling to get dinner orders taken to serve upstairs in the country kitchen, where it normally seats 38 people was seating 70, very uncomfortably. it was incredibly insane. i ran up and down the stairs multiple times because of trying to get the food up to them in a reasonable amount of time and they were telling us not to use the elevators.
fifth day-serving upstairs all the meals in the country kitchen buffet style. i think we worked out all the kinks today so hopefully it will run more smoothly the next couple days.

insane work week so far..but i am enjoying it and the residents. i already have 3 favorites :) 

things now-a-days

okay, i have been thankful for the people in the military and all but living in wichita has changed that. i am definitely MORE thankful since living here. Considering almost anywhere you go you see SOMEONE in a uniform, it just reminds me to pray for our troops more than ever now.

i got a JOB!! thank goodness!! its at a retirement home being a server. i LOVE it so far! the place has just been open a little over a year so there are a lot for the servers to learn. and for being such a new building the kitchen is TINY and the dish pit, lets just say that if they thought they ever wanted to be serving a lot of people, there is no way that dishwasher's space could do a big group with turnover. all the people there are very nice and i am so excited to actually have a job! 

things on my mind..

yesterday i read in the newspaper (well online) that my old church might be going into foreclosure. i understand that some things they did were wrong, but not everyone is perfect. i think we need to start praying for our churches. even if people think this church was horrible and everything, everyone makes mistakes. this pastor was an EXCELLENT speaker and i LOVED listening to him. 

somewhere in the Bible it talks about the end times and the financial downfall of churches. we need to remember to pray for our churches, because no matter how great you think your church is everyone makes mistakes and there will be more that fall. 

anyway, its stopped snowing in wichita, thaaaaaaank goodness! i am tired of the snow and winter all together. i can not WAIT for spring and SUMMER! we had two REALLY nice days here in wichita of 70+ degree weather and then the snow crap came. like i said i am READY for spring and summer.
