I just moved to this country. I used to live in Australia. I recently moved into my first home. I work for a school as a secretary. I enjoy working with students. I am bored sometimes at my job. I am still grateful for my job and the security it provides. I like to cook for my family. I have a husband and step children. I like chicken alfredo. I have a close friend who shares secret recipes with me. I am a great cook. I like making pot roast and vegetables the most. I love to cook and sometimes dream of being a professional cook. But I have doubts on whether I could actually make a living as a cook. I bake sometimes, but my specialty is home cooked meals. I have many great recipes. I've never been to Florida. I've never seen anything like those Florida gators.
I was born here. I'm at college for nursing. I have 2 more years to go in nursing school. I sometimes wish I had a job like being a secretary. I work nights at a local bar. I enjoy working at bar. I like to cook. I don't like chicken. I don't own a home. I have two blond, blue-eyed kids. I'm not a fan of Orlando. I'd love to visit Australia. I was attacked by a patron, which was traumatizing. I am considering quitting. I love going to markets and buying baked goods.
Did you manage to convince your manager about hiring security at the bar? No, she wouldn't agree to it.  She says she can't afford to hire anymore employees with the business the bar is doing.  I was very disappointed.  So I'm still thinking of quitting. You shouldn't give up. It's tough enough working at a place like that even without being surrounded every night by a bunch of drunks. I'm just wondering if there's another bar with good bouncers or other security where I'd feel more safe and comfortable.  My current bar now has a bad vibe for me.  I don't want to go there every night and feel anxious. Most bars have a bouncer. I'm kind of surprised that yours doesn't. It's really a bar and grill place, with the restaurant out front and the bar in the back.  I guess they never felt they needed it because the presence of the restaurant meant the clientele generally weren't that rowdy.  I like my manager and hate to quit on her, but I have to think about my own health and safety, too. A two in one place like that is rare I guess. Still, if you don't worry about your safety then nobody else will. Right, and I've got my two kids to worry about.  That's what scares me the most.  What would my kids have done if I'd been really hurt or killed?  I can't work in a dangerous environment. I'd go talk to your boss again but not before looking around for another job. Make sure you have somewhere else to go in case the talk doesn't go well. That's a really good idea.  I need as much leverage as I can get, and also a fallback position so I don't lose my job without having another one lined up.  So how have your family been doing recently? Everyone is doing okay. At least I don't have your issues. I couldn't imagine working somewhere where I didn't feel safe. What does your husband do for a living?
