Serving It Up Soon

After two (very long) weeks of job-hunting I was finally offered a job last weekend! Tonight will be my first night of training. I can't tell you the hourly pay because I don't know. Shocking! Yes, I know. I will be working as a server so the hourly pay really doesn't matter. It won't even be minimum wage, and in the restaurant industry the hourly pay is not what you're working for; you're just lucky if the hourly pay covers the taxes on the tips that you claim.

I'm hoping that the training will be intensive and short as I need to get on the floor as quickly as possible. My bank account has hit an all-time low and there are bills looming around the corner.

I'm down more than expected as school supplies hit the bank account hard and the unexpected funeral for my grandma necessitated some purchasing of funeral-worthy "good" clothes for Actress and dress shoes for Action. Not that I'm complaining. This is where an emergency fund would be useful. That is my first goal in my list of goals for financial responsibility.
