Goodbye, Cashier Kara

I have now been employed at three different places in a month. That's definitely an improvement from the first two months. Orientation and the one day of training I completed as a cashier at the Rose Garden were pretty depressing. The managers kept comparing it to McDonalds or Taco Bell. "You do ___ just like you would at McDonalds." I was dreading having to actually go to work yesterday and work the Blazers game. I was training with college freshmen who had never had a job before. Needless to say, I was only doing it because of how bad we need the extra cash. Tom has being calling me "Cashier Kara" for the past week, I'm glad he finds it so funny...

But I didn't go to work yesterday. Because the manager at Podnah's called me yesterday morning and asked if I could come in that afternoon. He gave me a job! It's a BBQ joint, super laid back, but they are very devoted to quality product. Tom and I have eaten there twice already since we first went a few weeks ago. This place has received amazing press since they opened in 2006, and even though it isn't fine dining I know I will be proud of the products I'm selling. That is really what is important to me. For example, I couldn't bear the thought of pumping out the liquid cheese crap for nachos at the Rose Garden. If I wouldn't want to eat it why would I feel okay serving it to your children? Anyways, please check out the website for Podnah's, it will have you craving good BBQ, that's for sure.

Training is tomorrow and Thursday and hopefully I'll start on the floor this weekend! Even though it is the bad time of year for restaurants they are very busy, and will just get busier during the summer. I'm so excited :)

Now for a picture of Roxy to break up all the words...

I hope everyone thinks she is as cute as I do. She is such a sweetheart.

So last week we had a snow day! Well, more like a snow night. It started really coming down around 8:00 pm and didn't stop for several hours. We were outside playing in the snow around midnight, but we had so much fun! Roxy loves the snow, I can't wait to take her to Mount Hood to see some serious snow.

This series is funny. 

Roxy and Tom prints.

There isn't much more to that story. It all melted by around noon the next day and turned to mud to add to the preexisting mud. Lovely.

I don't have anything else for you today. I've been meaning to take pictures of the apartment since I haven't really done that since we moved in. There isn't much to take up space so far, I need to figure out some more cheap crafts and make my own decorations. But even craft supplies cost money. 

Happy Tuesday!
