Week 4: Date: January 30 - February 5
Summation:
Sunday was, what has become, a regular day for me. I woke up, had breakfast, watched part of a Disney movie, went to work and worked on pantry station, came back to my apartment, had a snack, hung out with my roomies, showered, and went to bed. Any day that I work has this basic kind of schedule. The only real difference is how busy I am at work depends on how tired I am which depends on if I hang out with my roommates or not before I go to bed. Monday was much the same except I trained someone new at the station. I feel like I did a good job training him enough so he understands the station well. Then on Tuesday it was once again mostly the same. I got into trouble by chef Brian for not putting an end date on sprinkles but I didn’t know an exact date the sprinkles would “go bad” if the even ever do! I later found out by a different chef, chef Michael, that I don’t have to put an end date. Chef Michael later told me that I was different from the other CP’s (College Program) and that he believed in me. I had to excuse myself to go cry because it was nice having someone from Disney believe that I could succeed. Chef Michael is the reason I like my job so much because he is a great chef and leader. Later that night after work, I went to the House of blues and it was Latin night; which meant it was PACKED. It was mostly fun except for getting hit on by weirdoes. I really enjoyed dancing and hanging out with my roommates and then later getting IHOP for free because a guy was interested in my roommate and bought us all a late night snack. Wednesday was my day off and I was able to sleep in and then go to the Animal Kingdom. I didn’t get to spend very much time there because I slept in and because they close early but it was still a blast! I got pictures with the Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Minnie, and Thumper. Later, one of my roommates, Jessica, let Becky (another roommate) into the Lion King show in the very front row because she works there. It was amazing! I love all the shows! Then we went to Bdubs (Buffalo Wild Wings) and danced because they host a party thing every Wednesday night for all the CP’s. It was super crowded but pretty fun to just dance and hang out with my roommates. Thursday was a typical work day. Chef Michael was working on the turkey sandwich for the new menu and all of the cooks got to try it. I thought that it had too much of a mustard taste and not enough turkey and he agreed; I was glad. Friday was exciting because I was finally getting trained on a new station. My friend Trevor was bugging chef all night about training me on the hotline and he did the next day. I am now on grill middle and I do crab cakes, buffalo nuggets, regular nuggets, fries, the trio appetizer, and help grill with their plating and grilling. This was a fun station but, surprise surprise, it was very hot on the HOTLINE. I had an hour of training and then I was left alone the rest of the night. I got a couple of burns but overall, it was really fun. Saturday I was at the station by myself and I didn’t so very well on remembering everything for my prep because I forgot to fry chips before my break. Keeping up on my speed and cleaning, though, I know I’m doing a good job. All in all, a crazy busy week full of new experiences, but it was all fun. I can’t believe I’m already almost half-way done!
