Log 2: Graduation

I worked throughout my high school years in an Italian restaurant called Rom’s. 

I worked at the take-out counter because I was too young to waitress. My boss said I learned fast and I was the fastest girl there- I quickly moved into the head position. 

Helping him opening the counter consisted of making 17 Italian grinders (yes, I said Grinders!)  in record time and general stocking, ordering, helping with schedules and waiting on customers.

I graduated in 1980, the year of big hair, big cars and big parties.  After graduating my closest friends all left for college- I on the other hand took the bold step of moving out of my parents’ house and into a 1 bedroom apartment in the town next to them- Southbridge, a big disappointment as I was supposed to go to Airline School.

18 years old, on my own, paying for everything was not as glamorous I thought it would be. I left Rom’s to get into a higher paying waitress job at the nearby Sheraton.

I could make ends meet- and I was happy for the most part. But in the back of my mind was always “what do I want to do with my life?”  Not an easy answer as I had no college degree.

I married at 23, to a guy who worked on cars.  He didn’t have a steady paycheck either, but I was in love.

It lasted 2 years, I was still waitressing- and back to being alone.

Shortly after the divorce my brother swooped in to save me- told me to pack my bags and move to Connecticut where he had a place for me to rent and a job in the restaurant he was managing.  Never being one to not take chances – I jumped at the chance to start over and moved (new boyfriend in tow).
