Out of school

When I was finished with school it took me a little less than a month to get a job. Unfortunately it had nothing to do with food service. I worked as a pricer at a Meijer superstore in Michigan City. I applied for jobs in restaurants all over the city and surrounding areas. Most places either wouldn't consider me, or they only wanted me to be a waitress or hostess. At some places I probably could have earned a decent amount of money through tips, but I've found that being a server makes me incredibly anxious. I like to think that maybe I could learn to enjoy it and deal with customers, but for now I won't go near it. I took the job at Meijer, despite the low pay and crappy hours. I figured maybe at least being in there would give me a better chance at a better job later on.

And lo, about 4 months later I was able to transfer into the store's bakery as a cake decorator...
