Be at which one .. ?

It's October already and I am happy to say I'm on the other side of a hectic couple of weeks just gone.

In a nutshell, my work jibberish is as follows...

Work became too negative too often, so I gave 2 weeks notice. It went down like a lead balloon. That being said, those who were there on my last night poured booze down my throat and gave me a lovely, friendly farewell.

The same week I sent a lengthy honest letter to HR explaining my resignation. They called me in for an exit interview and gave me the opportunity to work in a brand new bar in the city. Condition was I pass my top 100 again and pass my front bar certification. (write out 100 cocktails randomly selected from our 200 recipes - something I'd passed once already. And be watched whilst I work on the bar for a few hours, no fuck ups allowed - I failed at this 4 times previously)
Once succeeded, I'd get a payrise and be a certified part of a new team. After a lot of thought, I accepted the challenge and dove in with 2 feet running.

The bar is beautiful! It has a slightly old school feel but is bright, new and CLEAN! It's also right in the heart of London. Suits and umbrellas crowd the streets as I scamper to work.. Among the big street buzz, it feels only now I'm actually living in London.

It's been there one short week so far, and I'm fully certified. Unawares to being judged for the most of it, I passed the practical test Friday night and sat my top 100 Sunday. I got 99%.
In the world that is Be At One, the feeling of relief and accomplishment is splendid and surreal.
A week ago, I'd never have expected things to turn around so well! - There's something to be said for constructively speaking your mind at times ;)
