Gilbert has firmly entered our lives =)

After Ulyana started working for him, he offered her another job at his other location (selling cocktails), but she refused because she didn't like that it was so far away... and she suggested that I work with Denis instead. Since I have very few hours, I agreed, but Gilbert kept stalling and stalling...

We waited for this job for three weeks, and today I couldn't take it anymore and went to ask Gilbert... he said I start the day after tomorrow... "Is that for sure?" I asked. "Nothing can be for sure..." the wise Japanese man replied evasively...

But the next day I actually started working... The essence was that I had to take orders, write them down on tear-off receipts, punch everything into the register, and then send it along a wire to the kitchen where everything is prepared.... Sometimes, when there were 2 of us girls working and someone got tired, I would pour water, wash dishes, and help the cooks with plating... The work system is like fast food, BUT the food was really very, very tasty and healthy... unfortunately, it was a seafood restaurant, and I can't eat seafood... but we also made steaks, so every day I get one for free and can take another one with me for half price (only 4 bucks with salad and a side dish)).

So today was my first crazy workday... From 9 to 4, and then from 6 to 10 at Señor Frog's. In total, with tips - 93 dollars... divine =). It's much easier to work for Gilbert in the sense that the crowd is unpretentious - if you mess something up, you can quickly redo everything, plus I don't feel any language problems (80% of the clients are Japanese who point at pictures). Kind Noel (the second girl who worked at the register today) explained and showed me everything.

I'm very worried about Ulyana. She only returned from Kauai (another island of the archipelago) today, but before leaving, she had a big fight with the manager Sarah, with whom they previously had a wonderful relationship. The reason was her 1.5-hour delay... in general, people get fired for such things, but Ulyana had worked just perfectly before and had covered for Sarah herself many times...

Now Sarah doesn't want Ulyana, me, or any other "stupid Russian guest workers" working for Gilbert.

"Vanya goes to her for discounts, the guys beg for their salary, the nasty Ulyana allowed herself to be late... and now here's another one... (me)"...

Tonight, Ulyana will either melt the ice (which I really hope for, as it will be easier for everyone to live), or she will have a falling out with her forever, she will eventually be fired, and I will be fired a couple of days later because it will be impossible to work calmly.

In short, I am actively waiting for news... Tomorrow I will go to our place on the 40th and she will tell me how things are. Now Dr. House and a healthy sleep until 5 AM... why until 5, only Yura will understand, and maybe Kolya... if he gets very lucky =)
