May 25, 2010

Hi Guys,
Today was such a long day. I worked at Mcmahon Dinning Hall again as a KA (kitchen assistant). I was a little late for work which was partly my fault but it was a really bad way to start a day. Anyway, the day went on as usual with the setting up of the line and making sure everything was in place for the morning breakfast. My trainer April, showed my how to operate the beverage dispensers and how to clean and break them down correctly. The job took a really long time so April and I had a chance to talk about the serving line. She taught me how to proportion items on the line and correct serving utensils. After cleaning and refilling beverage dispenser we talked about how to properly break down and set up the condiment areas and serving line. Jenny gave me a quick tour of each of the stack rooms and a lecture on how important it was to place things back where they belonged.
After running around with April all day, I took lunch with the other interns and chatted about our mornings. Lunch went fast and soon it was time to work the floor.
Eric the Mcmahon Area Manager went over inventory with the other interns and I. Standing in those cold refrigerators doing inventory was not fun but it is a very important job in food service. The four of us took inventory of the refrigerators and the dry stock rooms.The fact that Eric allowed us to take charge of inventory meant a lot to me because I believe that it is one of the best ways to learn something new. Overall, my day turned out ok.
Tomorrow the other inters and I have a reception in our honor at Chuck & Augies so I am really looking forward to that.
