All's Well That Ends Well

Our boy is a working man. He started training tonight at Taco Bell. He was soooo excited to begin --- wait 'til he gets his first paycheck!

He worked out the mission trip and family camping trip with his manager. So he gets the best of both worlds. He was also originally scheduled to work this Saturday morning when he is supposed to be taking a placement test at our local community college in preparation for a dual-credit course he'll take later this summer. His manager rescheduled him for later on Saturday and told Lane she "was all about family and college and all that." She had no problem letting him off for 12 days in a row in June. She just said he needed to absorb as much as he could so he would remember it all when he came back.

On another note, who knew there was so much involved in working at Taco Bell?? Lane brought home a "Portion Test" from Taco Bell. This booklet shows pictures of every menu item at Taco Bell, every ingredient in each item and the order the ingredients in which they are assembled. Lane must memorize all of this (eventually) in order to work the food prep line at Taco Bell. You've gotta admit -- those Taco Bell workers are fast! Usually, by the time you place your order and then fill your drink cup, your order is ready. So I guess he's gotta know what ingredients go in which burrito or whatever to be fast. They told him to memorize the tacos and burritos first since that's what they sell the most of. He's been working hard at it. I told him to memorize the Burrito Supreme since that's what I like most!
