Marcia and I have been having great fun! We got to experience our first weekend in Athens, and Athens has tons to offer for everyone. Downtown is a fun atmosphere. There are many specialty shops and fun restaurants and cafes to dine in. This weekend we ate at the mellow mushroom and experienced the Ben and Jerrys ice cream shop. I brought my bike to Athens, so I got to enjoy a scenic bike ride around the campus and on the biking trails. As far as work goes, we have been busy. We have been interviewing a lot of the management personell. There are so many job opportunities in the Food Service Management area. We have been exposed to management positions of dining halls to Human resources and IT managers. We are learning a lot plus experiencing the different job positions of the dining halls to better understand what everyone does. For instance this morning we worked in the dishroom for two hours. I know that most people would think of that as not an appealing job, but I really enjoyed it. I got to meet the staff that worked back there and they were very nice and were very interested in what Marcia and I were doing. I had fun learning something new. The workers here are great! They definitely take time to speak to us and see how we are doing, very personable. The weather has been hot, but that hasnt stopped us from getting around and enjoying the town!
