world, i have a job

so... i have a job! finally! i had my second interview today, which went as well as the first yesterday. i'm extremely impressed with the management and with the concept of the restaurant.

weirdly enough, it is in the space where haze was located, the nightclub i worked in before leaving atlanta for walb. they've totally gutted it and improved the warehouse-type building with a grand glass entrance and two patios. valet parking will be available across the street, which is at seventh and cypress behind the spire.

the cuisine is going to be eastern european. ecco will only be open for dinner, which is superb because it gives me the freedom to handle my business during the day and leaves plenty of time for classes come fall.

i was talking to christine earlier when we discussed how everything happens for a reason. the cruise line was the job i looked at last year and said that is what i want. ecco has been the only one thus far that has been the same. i believe the money will be sufficient for me and the hours couldn't be better.

entree prices will be in the $20 range so tips will be awesome, i'm certain. there is an extensive wine list with three exclusive to our restaurant. i'm excited!

the food sounds good, too... prosciutto, many cheeses, bruchetta, fried squash, grilled squid, lamb, wood fired pizzas, freshly made pasta, veal... all kind 'o good stuff.

i gotta start studying. there's a lot to remember.

i begin training april 29... the restaurant opens to the public on may 16. come see me!
