How badly this move is going to affect my finances I am not so sure yet, but seriously more worried about if I have made the right choice in leaving a (mainly) fantastic group of people behind in ye olde 1816. Really do not want to be looking back in a few weeks time and regretting leaving my old store behind.
It is also kind of sad that I was there when my current branch was opened, I was involved in the stock-in and have seen the store progress massively, seen 3 store managers in 2 years, countless people leave and be employed and just generally get so attached to people.
Knowing exactly what I am about to leave behind hurts an awful lot, but I'm hoping that my little leap of faith is going to be a worthwhile career move.
On Monday when I found out I was soon to be leaving, I was initially told I had 2 or 3 weeks before I was expected to transfer over to my new store.
On finishing my shift on Tuesday, I discovered that there had been significant change behind the scenes between my soon to be old manager and my new one, and that I was due to finish on Friday instead. Nice fast change of pace there, especially as I had talked myself into having at least another week to get to say proper goodbyes to everyone I worked with. :/
But anyway, I have no idea what to expect in my new role, no idea what time I am due to start in my new store on Monday yet which makes everything that little bit more nerve wracking and lastly what to expect out of the team I am about to join.
My Mum reminded me when I was getting her advice on the potential career move a few weeks ago, that in a much smaller store there would be a much higher chance of me having a personality clash as there are only a few employees there. In a big store it is much easier to avoid anyone I have issues with.
For me this seems to be a real worry as I do have my problems, as those who know me in real life will agree with wholeheartedly.
Basically - oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck I really hope this works out for me alright.
On a lot less stressful news and weirdly more exciting, I finally had my turn to visit Hooters Bristol.
All I can say is oh my God.
After finishing work today, the boyfriend and I had a nice long walk/sightseeing tour trying to find where the bloody building was.
Note to self: if Rob says he knows where something is, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM!
Luckily today coincided with not only his day off, but a friend of his also working her shift at Hooters.
We walked inside and were instantly greeted with a chorus of 'welcome to Hooters!' with added American drawl thrown in at the end!
So of course, we went and sat in the zone belonging to Robs friend, so she could wait on us today.
Deciding on my usual restaurant choice - a rack of ribs with curly fries & sides and for Rob Buffalo shrimp with curly fries, seemed to be a pretty awesome choice.
If in doubt, go for ribs!
Both sets of noms were ridiculously tasty (convinced the curly fries actually contain crack right about now!) and I polished off a slice of cheesecake afterwards, followed by 3 pints of coke.
Inside of Hooters was interesting, lots of signs to laugh at, lots of boobs on parade as you would expect and great service to top it all off, especially with some rather interesting conversations!
Oh and they show Robot Wars on several TV screens across the restaurant - major win!
The twitter lot seriously missed out on this one! ;)
