It only gets better and better!

After our meeting today, she has asked me to be her primary manager.
Lead the classes, yes, but also be in chrage of hiring and training
assistants. The first 3 months on hourly pay, until we get it all
figured out as far as when the classes are really going to fill up,
etc. After 3 months, salary + benefits - which I never thought would
even be an option! And her plan is that within 6 - 9 months, she'll
open another franchise i the area and I will run this shop. She's also
talking about some profit-sharing as far as any marketing I do; when
she's turning a profit, she plans to pay me bonuses for members I
helped to recruit and maintain.

She also asked me for some input and feedback on her design, as the
contractor is still working on the shop space.

It's like being her partner, but with a steady pay rate and no $$
invesed out of my pocket!! (I'm not a risk-taker financially. Obvoiusly
that's not nearly as lucrative in the long run as being an owner, but
that's fine by me.)

We open May 15. Til then we'll be running through the lesson plans - I
need to become an expert in pizza dough for the birthday parties - and
doind training and grocery shopping and setting up the shop.

If anyone's interested in the business overall, it's called Young
Chef's Academy, and they do have a website. Not gonna link it for fear
of being called a spammer troll! But if you're interested in the
concept, feel free to check it out.

You didn't KNOW that? Oh. Yeah, I'd estimate that about 50% of the Pad Thai
sold in the USA is made with ketchup. It's *very* common. And the practice
is spreading to other places where Pad Thai is made; I daresay you can
probably find it happening in Thailand by this point.

I always thought that it was NANCY Reagan who put that notion forth
publicly, though there's no way of knowing whether it was really her idea or
something she heard from an underling. I'm sure that if Ronnie ever
encountered the term "Pad Thai" he thought it was a reference to some kind
of feminine product.

Nope, I had no idea. I've eaten Thai at restaurants but never ventured
into cooking it. I don't cook much Asian food, as it's pretty cheap and
easily available around me. I go out for it. I think of noodles,
peanuts, egg, green onions, and tofu (or meat for my friends!) when I
think of Pad Thai. Never occurred to me that there was any
tomato-related product in it. Wow!

Now I hafta decide if that makes me like it less =)

Again, I associate it with Reaganomics and all that ****, but I was
still a kid back in those days, so I really don'tknow all that much
about which Reagan it was. I know Nancy was behind Just Say No, but
that's all I associate her with. She coulda been the dumbass behind
that nutritional 'discovery' as well. Oh well - I knew she wasn't that
bright based on her choice of hubbies! He was not my favorite
president; my facts coulda been off base but he was pres at the age
where I was really becoming aware of politics, the environment, the
budget, and etc, so my opinions weren't necessarily based in 100%
accurate fact.

Thanks fr the info!!

I work for The Irish Crystal Company. I work on the web page (which is
Gawd Awful and needs a total revamp) and I deal with corporate customers.
Sometimes I'll have to do the retail shop when the clerks are out. I have
learned so much. I'm also learning how to engrave on crystal. I just love
it.

Since you're learning how to handle crystal, learn how to buff out
chips on the rim. That's a real service to customers.
