I had a meeting this morning with a couple of ladies who purchased my services at the Mr. Habitat Auction. These ladies have been eagerly following the progress or lack thereof regarding the restaurant. They have no interest whatsoever other than they like my food. Almost every single day I'm asked how things are coming or when will you be open. My answer is always the same, when I find the right location. Now, I know you're thinking, "Yah, yah, I've heard this before..." Trust me, I hate sounding like a broken record. But, it is good to know that there is still interest.
Anyway, in the meantime, I'm busy working here, there and anywhere. I'm at the OnCenter occasionally and I'm helping to open a place in Oswego. There aren't too many places out there that will hire me. I've been over qualified for just about every position. If I don't mind working for $500-$600 a week, I can have a job in Seneca Falls. $600 a week for 70-80 hours, plus driving, not a bad trade. I love making between $7.50 and $8.55 an hour!
People think $10/hr is GOOD money. Have they tried living on that? How about $15, $20? Come on! At this point though, I'll take it, but you're only getting my ass for 40 hours, nothing more or less. Also, don't ask me to hold your chefs hand and teach him. Pay me what I'm worth and we'll talk. Otherwise, you'll get what you pay for.
I interviewed at Arad Evans, they hired someone for about half of what I was asking. I wish them luck. I certainly hope the chef doesn't try to strangle anyone. Well, maybe I do. I could get a call asking if I'm still interested. Who knows...
I can tell you now I'm ready to do this. I'm antsy. I've got all this pent up energy just ready to go. For now, I need money. So I will do whatever it takes, even if that means working for next to nothing. Because as we all know, something is better than nothing, but just barely.
