I Have A Trial For A Part Time Job Tonight!

As you know Ive been searching for a 2nd income for the last few months, I have sent off my cv to most pubs and resturants in my area and also continually searched local new papers and job websites.

There were three jobs I really liked the sound of, one at a local hotel working evenings on reception - heard nothing :( a kitchen hand at a local pub, the hours for this one were percect not too late a finish and no weekends - heard nothing :( and the last one was at a local resturant waiting tables and bar work. I recieved a call from them on Thursday and they said they want me to work for a couple of hours tonight as a trial and also they realised that I didnt want to work every weekend and that they could work around that :j

Im really excited but extremely nervous :o Ive never worked in a resturant before, i can see a soup spilling incident coming my way LOL Its not silver service or anything like that, in fact its really relaxed but Im still freting.

If I get the choice of bar work or waiting tables, the easy option for me would be bar work as Ive done this in the past, but should I go for the best tipping option - waiting tables?

Oh please send me some luck, my shift starts at 7:30pm :T

Have a great dfw weekend everyone
