as the world turns
So I went with my uncle today to the restaurant, and was supposed to meet up with Tom (semi lower level management type), and Francois, a big head honcho guy shows up as well. Intimidating? Yes, especially since I wasn't even sure what type of job I was interviewing for.
Turns out, its a fairly big time job. I'd be taking inventory of everything the restaurant needs, from paper towel in the washroom to food to booze for the bar, as well as helping out in the kitchen. Tom told me it's not as tough as it sounds, but this would be a big jump for me. They didn't even ask for a resume, just a few basic questions about myself, and my experience, and pretty much took my uncle's word on me being responsible and trustworthy. The job is mine if I want it, and I have until Monday to decide.
This is all very sudden, and on one hand, its a great opportunity for me, seeing as I have pretty much no college/university. There's room to advance and network with a new group of people. On the other hand, I can see this being quite overwhelming, going from a small, family business to a big time restaurant with a whole load of new responsibilities that I've never dealt with before.
Oi, so confused. I know that I need a change, but I also want to make sure that this is something I can do, and do well, and not bring my uncle's reputation down.
Seany, you've gots some thinkin' to dooo.

i think you should do it too, if you really hate it you can always quit and go to school... if you give notice and do good work while you're there you won't make your uncle look bad.
