I must whole heartedly apologize for the extended absence. I did begin to write last week but was so tired by the time I actually logged on to place something down. I basically stared at the screen, racking my brain for something, and came out blank eventually. I mean, I have so much to write but no time to do it, plus it's even harder without internet where my current residence is located in the other city. I'm going to try tonight.
First things first. The business is doing absolutely amazing still. I am mesmerized with the volume of customers we do, and are actually capable of doing, some nights. The public response is unbelievable. We are the bringing in customers from miles and miles away based on word of mouth alone. I finally had time to devise and implement customer satisfaction cards which we require each server to hand out with the bill, and I'm finding out that people are happy to drive over an hour just to try out our restaurant based on someone else's recommendation. Incredible to say the least.
I've been interviewed by the local media several times for printed stories and even a photo shoot. How weird is that? Really odd to me considering I'm just...me. I don't like to place down $ amounts, but...after start-up costs, my business partner and I were in the hole big time; more than ever in my existence. After one month of business, we are already seeing profit. The debt the business entity itself incurred is paid off. The monthly expenses are settled and we are taking meager draws. I am floored and yet thrilled at the same time. The company as a whole, and in dumb accounting standards you all don't care about, is doing fantastic.
Let me think of some drama...ugh, I don't know. I am so damn tired. I will probably be dead from lack of sleep and stress next week, though I just wanted to place something down so you all know I didn't abandon the blog. I am in the process of renting a new home with internet within another week or two; so if I don't get time to post tomorrow, which I probably won't, it shouldn't be long before I'm writing again in a frequent manner. I'm really sorry, I would love to stay up and compose the longest novel of my blogging career, however, physically can not.
Thanks for reading this drivel and I should be online consistently again in the near future. In another day in the life of a line cook.
