Rawk!
Ok, so a little under 12 hours ago, I presented myself at the Alder Street Glenwood and said, "Hi, I'm Tracy. Tell me what to do." I was handed an apron, given a quick tour of the kitchen, and then for the next five hours, plus or minus two breaks, I was mistress of the toaster and waffle irons, and it was good. (Also I helped out with a bunch of other random stuff, when I wasn't busy trying to stay out of everybody's way --- there were 6 people in the kitchen, and a normal kitchen staff is 3 or 4, and it's cozy back there even if there's only 2 people working.) Some time after 3 PM, I got to fill out some forms that make me officially employed, and I go back on Monday at noon to start getting trained for real! Woo!
They told me they'd tried to train a few previous hires on slow days like Mondays, only to have them shocked and overwhelmed by high-traffic weekends, so I got to run the gauntlet on my first day. At least one other guy in the kitchen mentioned that he'd started out on a Saturday, and a few other people expressed similar sympathy, although the general consensus was kind of mixed as to how busy it was. I figure I might get to see some really hardcore action in two weeks (U. of Oregon graduation and Father's Day, woo! I get the impression that's about as busy as it gets.)
But WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I got a job! A regular, paying job, and one I wanted and tried really hard for to boot! Woo!
I do have a speck of bad news, which is that we didn't get the house we worked so hard at applying for this week, but hey, at least now I only have to search the classifieds for housing and not jobs. Woo!
Two words
yay

Yaaah!
Rumors in the court all predict you soon will be promoted from Mistress to Queen of the Inductively Cooked Carbs. Have an acceptance speech ready.
