Wandering Aimlessly

Yeah, so yesterday, one of my managers came up to me as sort of a fly-by on his way upstairs and said "Kate, I need to talk to you when I get back." Eeek! I was training a new girl on register. All day. I absolutely love it that they're having me train people. I got an extra 50 cents an hour for it, too! So back to the manager. I was all nervous, because when a manager says they need to talk to you, usually it's not good, right? I thought maybe I wasn't training Ladanna correctly, or something. He pulled me aside and told me that he wants me to help out with a study they're doing. He actually said to me "Somehow you've been tagged as one of the few people who has a brain in this operation." How funny is that? I don't know what I do differently than anyone else, but somehow I come across as intelligent. <.g> Anyway, the head of foods at MGM wants us to change our filling (currently stations: drink person, salad person, pizza plater, and runner) to one person per register who would fill an entire order. So today and tomorrow, I'm going to be part of the study team. Doris will be on register, I'll be timing with a stop watch how long it takes for someone to get from the register to having their food, Renzo will be filling orders, and Shelley will be timing how long it takes from the point the receipt prints to the guest having their food. It will only be a few hours of the day, but it will be a nice break from whatever else they have me doing, I'm sure.

I am really not going to want to leave here, again. I finally started actually hanging out with work people. I can't believe I only have a month left! Last night, Jessica, Diana, Brandi and I went to Steak and Shake and then to see Lilo and Stitch, straight from work. Apparently we looked pretty funny, all dressed alike in our Pizza Planet costumes, because everyone kept giving us really odd looks. Lol. At one point I asked "do we really look that weird??" Steak and Shake proved a poor choice, as it took 40 minutes to get a freaking waiter, and then another 20 minutes to get our food, which we had to eat faster than anything to make it to the movie in time. Lilo and Stitch was adorable! I loved it. I want to see it again. Lol. But all in all, it was great fun just hanging out with the girls. I invited them with to our weekly bowling night tonight.

Speaking of bowling, I put up a sign-up at work to see if anyone would be interested in a Pizza Planet bowling night. I think that would be great fun, and everyone I asked about it seemed to agree. Hopefully that will come together.

I'm excited about Red Hot & Boom. That's XL 106.7's 3rd of July concert thingy. O-Town is the headliner, which is very exciting. I can't wait to see them. Lol. And Doc (one of the morning show guys) and Mr. Joe Fatone, Sr. are having a dance-off to benefit CFTC. Also very exciting! Should be good for a chuckle, anyway. <.g> I'm so glad I have the 3rd off, even though I have to work until 9 on the fourth. =/ Fireworks at MGM are at 9, so I will probably not be able to make it. <.sigh> Ah well. Maybe I'll go to MK or PI on the 5th and hope they're still having fireworks.
