My First Blog Post
So it's kinda nice to work for someone you admire. Working at Ck's for just over two years now, has been a pleasure and a privelege. And when I say kinda nice, I mean it's just plain cool to work for someone that you actually like, admire, and just plain respect. A lot of us have bigger plans in life, bigger than serving or bartending. And that's totally fine. Who doesn't want to have bigger plans? But for now, most of us are "lifers". I don't have a problem with it, nor does my wife, nor does anyone else that's been there for the better part of a decade. It's really a great place to work and grow. We all know what's going on with each other, we all know what's going on with our regulars too. Going in everyday has not always seemed like a job. Obviously, there's been times where it has felt like a job, but for the most part it's home away from home.
When I started working there, I didn't picture myself as close to everyone who walks through the doors, whether it be the front door or back door. It's amazing how intertwined my life has become with the people that come/work there. There were regulars at my wedding in Maui! I've met my dentist, my loan officer, my realtor, my guy that's gonna help out with home improvements, my guy that works at Best Buy, my guy that's helping out with Ck's website, my guy that works at Intel, my guy that is my buddy's maintenence man, and the list goes on like you wouldn't believe. If you need something, I'm sure I can get it cheaper, quicker, smaller, bigger, faster, and better from the person I know from Ck's. Man, I should get paid for this! Is there a way to get paid just by having great trustworthy contacts at your fingertips? If so, maybe my time at Ck's is in its twilight. If you need the guy that knows a guy....I'm that guy.
