The first moments of a rolling snowball

Today was my first day of training at Olive Garden. They gave us so much stuff. I got a new tie and a wine key and all the other trappings and accessories neccessary for serving there and they didn't charge us for a bit of it. I even got to try three new wines and a whole host of dishes. I think I'm really going to love this job. It was 7 hours of training today but it went by way fast. They have us training like that for the next five days at least before we can even take a single table. Its very intensive but I am certain that from this job I can go to any restaurant in the country as a respected and experienced server. Unfortunately all of this means that I probably won't make the club this week and even if I do I won't be drinking. I have to work way to early for any of that. Oh well. I haven't taken a week off from the club in at least six months. It'll be nice to have a short break and when I go back it will be that much more exciting plus I'll have money every time I go. Money for food. Money for alchohol. Even money for maybe a new outfit every time. Life gets better from here. I never ever ever have to go back home again.
