The job search is over. It ended January 28th, 2006. I am now working as an assistant manager for Domino's Pizza. I am an MIT -- manager in training. I hope to be done training by June when my semester is over and the schoolwork is done for a while.
The house has been painted, cleaned, the floors prepped, and everything is ready to go for moving. Actually, with the help of several of my friends I have managed to move the majority of our stuff from the apartment that we are leaving to our new home. Joy does not know this yet. I hope she is suprised tomorrow night when she comes home.
Joy has been out of town for the past two weeks now. She is finishing Phase 4 training for her job. She called me a few hours ago and told me that she has successfully completed her training and is ready to come home tomorrow. She'll spend most of her day in route to her new home. She still thinks that I'll arrive at the airport ready to take her back to our apartment. She'll be pleasantly suprised.
Tomorrow I open the store on a Friday morning for the first time. This is a big deal. At my Domino's, Friday morning is busy because there is a standing order for 80 orders of breadsticks with 20 pizzas and a second order for 30 pizzas. I have to make all of this, and it has to be on-time.
Last Thursday, I shadowed the owner of this Domino's store. It was a whirlwind day starting early in the morning and ending at 9PM when I left a charity banquet to change into my Domino's uniform and close the store. It was my second time closing the store as a manger on my own. I would find out the next day that I had a lot to learn about cleaning.
When I was shadowing the owner, I was able to ask him dozens of questions. So I did. I also told him about my blog, and asked him how he'd feel about me writing about my Domino's experience. He said it was cool with him. He even thought it would be good for other people to know what goes on behind the scenes at Domino's and what he is able to accomplish for the community since his success from managing and owning a Domino's. I had waited to write anything, because I wanted to get his opinion.
Tonight I watched Domino with Mickey Rourke and Keira Knightley. I liked it a lot.
