The beginning of the end…
This is the start of my last week of full time work for my organization! It is really happening! The time has come to take the big plunge, and as of now, the die is cast. I am crossing my own personal Rubicon.
 It’s a laptop - what did you expect?… |
To adapt to my new life of working from home, doing freelance web work (yes, i can do a web site for you if you like - samples) and writing some silly blog, I went and got myself a new computer today! That’s right, these words may look the same to you gentle reader, but the keys I am using to enter them are all new, I assure you! Well, it’s exciting for me at any rate. I was gong to do some neat photo work showing me at my new computer, but then I realized I hadn’t installed Photoshop yet. So until then these will be a little boring photo-wise.
So my last week’s activities (for those of you contemplating leaving a job and actually keeping it on good terms) I have to send out our e-newsletter (I am an online marketer you know) and get all the lists of things I do in order for my replacement. And of course, since I will now be a part time employee, I have to work out with my boss exactly what the heck that means.
For those of you who are here for the other good stuff, the food stuff (oh yeah, this IS a food blog) my situation has led me to look into some possible leads. It is amazing how many people come out of the woodwork and know a chef somewhere. So here are some possible leads that I have here and there. Anyone with a suggestion, I am all ears as to which one you think is the best:
- 1789 - A coworker of mine is roommates with one of the chefs there. I have an email address and an assurance he is cool.
- Tenpenh - Another amazing DC restaurant, and a friend of my mom’s is friends with the owners. They have set up a meeting for me sometime next month.
- Blue Duck - Just opened next door to my job. A good place that is just starting out, and new places have lots of turnover, so there are bound to be jobs. The attractive thing about this is that it is all my own - nobody got me this job, it is all me.
- Colvin Run Tavern - Bob Kinkead is one of the great chefs of DC (and the country), this would be a great place to work, and it is near my culinary school (and home) and they love to hire students from my school.
- Denny’s - Just because.
Ideas? Suggestions? Leads? I’ll take whatever you got!
Stumble it!

Please work at Denny’s so we have a reason to discuss Moons over My Hammy and anything Rootie Tootie Fresh and Fruity.
