Finally getting to start working!!!

I had an actual tour of the Sun Valley Resort today finally.  I met with the manager of the bar at which I will be working and she took me all over for about 30 minutes, giving a detailed tour of the public areas as well as the deep employee tunnels and rooms.  If I tried to find any of the places on my own, I would probably get lost, but in time, I will learn my way around.

There is a bowling alley, day spa, multiple pools and hot tubs, ice skating rink, walking trails, etc.... some of which I can take advantage of, but some of which I believe are only for resort guests.  I don’t know all the rules yet, but my manager, Kaylee is really fun and was super helpful already.  I’m sure that she will help me acclimate and get involved more.

I start my training tonight with Kaylee, but she said it won’t be busy, so it will be mostly just hanging out together in the bar, same as tomorrow night.  Wednesday should be busier, and then Thanksgiving night, I am on my own for my first shift which should be busy.

I will be working at the Duchin Room, which is one of the two bars within the Lodge/Inn area.  They serve very little food, so I will be cocktail serving full time, which I am really excited to do.  It will be very different than the dining room serving I have done for so long - a whole new challenge and system.  I have a lot to learn, but that is part of the fun.

I also got a PO box today so I can get mail now!!  Care packages and the like!  Ha ha! :-)  My address is PO Box 1297, Sun Valley, ID 83353.
