Just Call Me Flo!

I've been looking for a job lately; dentist's offices, medical clinics, etc... So far no one has responded to my applications and resume's so...... I accepted a job to work as ..........

.....gasp......

A waitress! Just call me Flo!
I have been working at the Park Place Tavern. Below, is a picture of my boss, Glenn Godward with the bar behind him. He is a very nice man and has been awarded Best Bartender in town for years.

It has an indoor restaurant and bar and also an outside patio and bar. We serve wings, seafood platters, steaks, burgers, salads and sandwiches. I hear it is good food, however, because none of it's gluten free, I haven't tasted any of it. We have lots of return and regular customers, so that's good. I love the staff and the tips are good.

My feet hurt!!!

Does it matter that my resume' is full of evidence of experience and expertise in the business world? I've worked for architects, hospitals, real estate appraisers, owned my own businesses, etc... and been on five Boards.

I'm hoping one of those office jobs will call me, but until then, waitressing will have to do. I like it and the customers and tourists are great!

I Blame Summer

I haven't been writing on my blog for what seems like ages. It's summer. A sign of summer is:The children are home from school. They want me to take them to town so they can go to the Library, the Malt Shop, the Park, the Lagoon, the Swimming Pool and to their endless friend's homes. And I do.

Then they want their endless friends over at our home, or they want to go boating, eat pizza, have bonfires in the backyard with smores, have 4th of July Parties, shoot off fireworks without blowing each other up, and sleep outside on the deck.

I also have to keep up with the housework and look for a full-time job. I have seriously neglected my blog.
