Tiny beads of sweat slowly trickled down my face. My eyes patrolled the terrace, shifting from side-to-side revealing my obvious nervousness and confusion. Fatigue had set in and started to corrupt my muscles. Despite my rapid heartbeat, I could feel my body becoming increasingly sluggish and sore. With so much work yet ahead of me, the stress had already accumulated and I feared an eruption of uncontrollable, instinctual emotions was inevitable. What had I gotten myself into? There are few moments in my life as painfully memorable as those from my first day of work this past summer. At the ripe age of 17 with the entire summer ahead of me, a new sense of maturity shaped my thoughts and emotions. Using this new found energy, I decided to apply for a bus boy position at The Quail Inn, a world famous 5 diamond resort. I can still recall the anxiety I felt walking into the Human Resources Office at the Inn. Wearing my savory navy blue jacket, a snow white Calvin Klein dress shirt, my favorite light blue and black Kenneth Cole tie, and lightly pinstriped Brooks Brothers navy blue slacks, I sat nervously waiting for my scheduled interview. Although the questions I answered were simple and straightforward, I still found the interview slightly nerve-racking and was uncertain about the outcome. Apparently taken with my style of dress and intelligence, the manager invited me to start work the following week. Few words can describe the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment I felt having been solely responsible for this achievement. Unlike my previous "employment" which had been aided or influenced by my parents, this bus boy position was all my own. On the appointed day, a week later, dressed in an orange dress shirt the color of potato bisque, a white maid's apron and black slacks, I arrived at the restaurant. Juggling multiple platters and instructions from the hostess, waiters, and cooks, I still remember my first encounter with a guest which involved much mumbling, stuttering and the butchering of the pronunciation of Creme Brulee. Then carrying a metal pan of bread, freshly removed from a 400-degree oven, I clumsily slipped on a wet spot in the kitchen flinging hot bread bombs of sourdough rolls in every direction possible. With a loud crash from the metal pan, I futilely tried to avoid contact with what felt like a thousand eyes on me as I sat there embarrassed having just fallen. The most unfortunate part of this incident involved the contact between this pan and the skin of my neck, effectively producing a second-degree burn, branding me forever as property of the Quail Inn. As might be expected, things did go better as the summer progressed, and I became more experienced in the ways of clearing tables and pronouncing French desserts. I never burned myself with a bread pan again, although I did miss a stair and spill an assortment of half empty wine glasses and beer bottles on my shirt. Looking back on that first day now, I laugh but that doesn't minimize its importance. Life in my little town is pretty sheltered and like most, my parents are naturally protective. So although nerve wracking, unpleasant and a bit dangerous, that was my own first hand experience with the real world; and I learned a lot about how to talk to customers, how to interact with co-workers, and how not to carry bread pans. Most importantly, the events of that first day taught me how to learn from my mistakes.
