On The Job Training Day 1 - 21st Jan

Today I had my first training day at my Restaurant; Citricos at the Grand Floridian. Which has American Cuisine with a Mediterranean spin!

But I didn't' start work until 4pm so I got up at about 9am and and then did some washing and tidied my room quite a bit as the last couple of days I have been coming and going quite a bit so there was stuff everywhere.

And then at 11am I caught the bus to Walmart. I had exactly an hour before I had to catch the next bus home. So i ran around and did everything that I needed to do.

When I got back I had to put everything away and then I cleaned the kitchen so I made the apartment look nice and clean! 

And that I started getting ready for work. I didn't start work until 4pm but I had to catch the 2:30 bus. I was feeling very nervous but it was good to keep busy around the apartment to keep my mind off of that!

I got ready for work and unfortunately none of my roommates were home so I wasn't able to get any photos or anything like that. But then I headed off to the bus.

Because of the way the bus system works I had to get to the 'Grand' an hour early otherwise I would be late. So when I found where I needed to be I waited for an hour for my trainer to turn up.

She was so lovely and very welcoming - which calmed the nervous a little bit. She took me on a tour of my location - so I finally got to see my restaurant!! It was absolutely amazing! It has the main part of the Kitchen in the restaurant as well as the dessert making area as well. And then there is a beautiful view of the lake that is between Magic Kingdom and the Grand. 

So I followed my trainer around all night learning different things about the restaurant and the way that it works. And then at 8pm I was able to stop and watch the fireworks from Magic Kingdom from outside our windows. It was beautiful - no one else really cared but I loved it! And I am able to do that every night while I'm here!

It was a very very slow night at Citricos so the night sorta dragged on a little bit - but I loved learning new things and my trainer was very helpful! 

I finished work at 10:30pm (this will be my shift every day as we are only open for dinner) but I missed the bus so I had about an hour to wait - but it gave me a chance to ring Mum and Dad and tell them about my first shift so that was good! 

Overall I love my restaurant - and I like I'm going to love working there!
