Today was my last day of training at Applebee's. It's such an easy job! The one thing I don't care for is the company's over-obsession with rules and regulations. Rules are good but not when they interfere with your primary responsibility - to take care of your guests. Here's an example - they make you say this whole speech when you greet a table, including a greeting, list of soups, specials, drink specials and appetizer specials. I don't know about you but, as a customer, I wouldn't want to be bombarded like that, especially if I came in and I already knew what I wanted. More critically, it makes the guests feel like they have a robot, not a server. It's all about personal attention! I guess Applebee's is a pretty good example of your typical corporate American food service business. *sigh*
Classes start next Wednesday - scary! I go to pickup my books this Friday - scarier! The coolest class I'm taking (by far) is HIST200 - The History of Delaware. I'm taking it with my friends Justin and Mark so that should be awesome. I hope they talk about low-digit license plates but I *highly* doubt it. This is my last semester of undergrad - very exciting!
I've REALLY been into Paramore lately - the best word I can describe them with is "fresh". I just love their use of the band instruments. It's so original and ... well, fresh.
I'm SO EXCITED about Joe Biden being Obama's VP choice! What a great moment in Delaware's history! I know Joe has a big mouth but I think he's the best and natural choice for the Democratic party. OBAMA-BIDEN '08!
As for recent tag sightings, I've been seeing a lot of 3-digits but the two I like the most in the past two weeks are 302 and PC66. 302 is awesome for the obvious reason that it's Delaware's only area code and PC66 because I had seen it once before but I wasn't able to snap a picture. I finally saw it in Middletown, made a sharp U-turn, and got right up behind it.
I think that just about wraps it up! Stay tuned for more updates!
