Tutto posto
So where did I leave off?? I think its been 3 weeks since my last confession? And if thats the case, I have alot to mention. For a while, I was helping both the cafe near my house and the restaurant, Del Duca. It was going ok seeing as I know I had to make a decision soon but was enjoying working with both. I was in a sort of catch 22 though, if I didn't mention before. Del Duca was willing to let me work as long as I could get the work stay and the cafe was just willing regardless of the work stay. So right there you might say, I should work at the cafe. Another thing to add was that the cafe was willing to pay me €6.50 which I don't think they could afford. Del Duca was going to pay me less. But the flip side was I would get more hours at Del Duca seeing as they're open 6 days a week and don't close when it rains like the cafe.
These past two weeks I was mostly working in the kitchen at Del Duca but also helping out at the cafe, such as helping to put out their patio, helping to take it down the next day after the police told the owner he was a week early, putting the patio back out the following week and even taking the owners' car to the grocery store and doing all their shopping (and mine too). Well, this past Sunday, I had to break it off with the cafe as we were putting the patio out once again because unfortunately, both them and Del Duca needed me that afternoon. Well the owner was a bit pissed at me even though I found a friend that was looking for work and came and helped us put up the deck. So after working from 8-12 at the cafe with their patio, I ran over to Del Duca and we had a banquet. So I worked from 12-6. Then, I went and helped my friend Fausto unload a truck from a banquet he had earlier that day after which I ran home, changed clothes and worked at Del Duca once again but in the dining room this time. Made for one hell of a day but in the back of my mind, I knew how upset the owners of the cafe were with me. I haven't passed by there since and unfortunately haven't had time to perhaps but some flowers to put at their door one night after they close.
I hope I made the right decision. The idea was that in the spring, there’s a lot amount of time for which a stranger can ask for a work stay. So I went and got these documents for this request, got them filled out but I was still waiting for one last document which I couldn’t find. Well, 2 days after I quit the café, the place where they didn’t care if I had the work stay or not, the “window” for which I could send in the request closed without my knowing… So this is where I stand, with no idea what to do, but I do have the police here working on it for me.
I need to bring this one to a close soon seeing as I have time for nothing right now. But right now I have another person staying at my house who is originally from Romania. He just arrived here and was brought in by the owner of Del Duca to work as a waiter. So I’m helping him get his work stay and jealous at how easy it is for him. He’ll be here for a little bit while we try to find him an apartment. Mean while, I only have to pay half the rent.
Anyways, time to go and get back to life.
Ciao tutti!!
