Job Updates

It has been brought to our attention that we never explained exactly what it is that we are doing to make a pseudo-living here in NZ. soooo.... while Alissa is out on her first interview for a lifeguarding position, we will take a few minutes to tell you what we are doing.

The restaurant is called La Zeppa and it is in the Central Business District in downtown Auckland. Andrew Clements' long time friends own a few restaurants, and while eating at one of them, we were offered a "trial" at one of the others for last week wednesday-saturday nights.

La Zeppa is a bar and restaurant, that offers amazing tapas and potent drinks. (we get a drink after every shift!) From the minute we started working last Wednesday we were thrown into the middle of everything. On our first nights we learned how to take orders/memorized the menu/delivered drinks.... and by our second night, we were working our own sections of the restaurant alone. On paper, we are SUPER underqualified for this job (everyone has worked for YEARS in the industry), but in practice we are doing really well; if we do say so ourselves. this also proves that its really not so much what you know, but who you know. AND WE GOT OFFERED THE JOBS... we think?...

.... after work Saturday they gave us "congratulations shots" and put us on the schedule for this upcoming week, but never technically said "you got the job"...

soooo. you've got yourselves some waitresses... and hopefully a swim instructor.
