Flavor of the day: Bubblegum (eww)
Feb. 25th, 2004 11:21 amSo, my interview this morning with the GM of Wit's End went really well. I think I totally got the job.... err, problem is, I don't know if I want the job, or even what the job would be, or what it pays. But the GM really liked me; he wants versatile people... and I'm fairly flexible and competant, which he seemed to appreciate.
Basically I would be living on a gorgeous ranch in Colorado all summer, bartending, working front desk, helping out with the kid's programs, maybe some waitressing, maybe some back-of house stuff, maybe some running for the horse trainers and wilderness guides.... did I mention this place is gorgeous? So beautiful, I think I can even put up with the good-ol-boys who come up to hunt and fish and will inevitably call me "little lady", or worse.
Which would be almost enough for me, except for that pesky need-to-pay-the-bills thing. I think what little help my parents started to give me since Christmas is about to disappear, including the last-resort-emergency-financial-help I used to be able to call on if i really really needed it, because my dad has some sudden financial problems. Oh well, this is why I try not to rely on them anyway.
So, major plusses:
-Gorgeous location, reconnect with wilderness- I *heart* Colorado
-good cross-training hospitality experience,
-gain understanding of the physicality of running a place like this which is so similar to what I want to build, it hurts
-get to play with the ranch activities like riding and fishing and stuff on days off,
-GM already likes me, and his parents are the owners
Major drawbacks:
-not near Texas, NY or California, so would be cut off from family and friends
-don't know what it pays yet (although if I get the bartending job, could be pretty good)
-"job" actually will be more like a lifestyle, so feeling of being trapped could ensue- i could go crazy if the job sucks
I probably won't end up taking the job even if I get an offer, unless the pay is really good and I don't find any better offers. But it was good interviewing practice.
And now, a lemming. With the exception of having Carrot Top for a brother (most annoying little brother EVER! ack!)I think it would be pretty cool.
