Happy Wednesday!
The forecast called for rain. The clouds threatened rain all
morning. The reservation guests all called to change their outdoor reservations
to indoor. But, the rain never arrived until late, late afternoon. As a result,
today was not a slower day like I thought it’d be. The wait time reached one
hour for tables inside while tables outside went for 40 minutes. Fortunately,
Jami was back after her Monday-Tuesday “weekend” so she took over parking lot
duty today. I spent the day answering the phones, adding guests to the
waitlist, and, the best part of the day, resetting the pagers we thought were
broken. Now, we have an additional 15 pagers that we raised from the “RIP”
pile. Getting those pagers back up and running is huge since it’ll reduce the
amount of trips we have to make between the booth and the basket at the host
station to collect used pagers.
After work I completed my speed workout for the week. I went
out and back two miles on a progression run. After ever eight minutes I picked
up the pace. My total time for 4 miles was 28:37. The weather was cloudy and
windy, or in other words, September weather.
My sister, Nicole, and I had our weekly chat tonight. The
“rock” in the woods had a cell signal. The only problem with hanging out at the
“rock” after dark is that the poor employees walking back from the restaurant
to the employee parking lot have to pass by. Over the past few months I have
evoked a significant number of fearful reactions when they see me as a shadowy
figure standing still (as to not lose the signal) on the edge of the path. So
if you are ever walking in the woods of Acadia at night and you see a dark
figure, don’t worry. It’s just me.
