The Interview

I would like to find out about the differences in responsibilities and opinions from a server at a restaurant to a host. To do this, I am going to interview one of the hosts of El Chico in Flower Mound, then one of the servers.

Sections:

- Table Rotation
  1. Does El Chico use a rotation?
  2. Do you like the table rotation? (why/why not)
  3. Does it make your job easier? (why/why not)
- Customer dealings in high volume
  1. How do you deal with a impatient customer?
  2. Is it easy to keep your cool?
- Easy to get along?

Free Write

I never fall behind in the entertainment news. I am not really into the life of the stars, but if there is a new album or movie that is supposed to come out soon I always know about it. Sports are another part of the news that I follow religiously, but not every sport. Football and basketball are my main focuses when it comes the sports world, but I find out about others by watching ESPN. It is not voluntary, but in between football and basketball there is a lot of space to fill and I sometimes keep the T.V. on ESPN. As for where I get my video and music news, I find out about upcoming movies through previews and IMDB.com, and for albums I use the Zune Marketplace which is Microsoft's equivalent to Apple's Itunes.

Mash ed Poetatoes!

Oh the variety!
I feel pretty safe saying that mashed potatoes are my favorite food, because they can be cooked in ways that match my any of my moods. I love each and every kind, but it depends on how I feel at the moment.
First of all, it might help to know that I am a texture eater. That being said, I like it when the potatoes are not fully mashed. Leaving small remnances of their origin for me to love and appreciate.
The fact that mashed potatoes are a side dish is Amazing! When I cook dinner, I always add them to the menu. For instance, steak and garlic mashed potatoes, or chicken.. and mashed potatoes. The list is endless.

My Paper

Maybe i should have spent a little more time on the big picture of Precision Time shutting down, instead of that specific day.

Writer's Break Pg. 126 & 134

- Getting kicked out of cheerleading
- Going on a road trip with friends
- Sebastian, my best friend in 2nd grade graduated valedictorian

I dragged through highschool while Sebastian ended up being at the top of our class after we had been seperated since 2nd grade. The way he grew up put him in a much better academic situation than me, but my experiences gave me a better set of social and networking skills. The way a person grows up has a lot to do with their strengths and weaknesses.
