I was supposed to train at the bar this weekend, so I called my boss's assistant on Friday to see what was up. She then explained, apologetically, that they were too busy opening up a new bagel store to train any new bar staff (why a chain of bars needs to open up a bagel store is still up for grabs). She said that once the bagel place was up and running (which should supposedly happen within the next month), they'd give me a call and get me started.
I'm not going to bother complaining about this, because 1) complaining doesn't fix anything, and 2) I knew full well upon registering for my bartending course that I was inserting myself into an industry unabashedly composed of sketchiness, flakiness, and employers who only communicate via text. Honestly, I'm not really surprised that this job is taking forever to get off the ground. Sure, it sucks to keep waiting - and I'd be much more relaxed if I knew a paycheck was in my near future - but I can poke around for other temporary positions and see what happens. I'd rather focus my energy on the glory of my new apartment (or the hunt for a new gig) than mope about having to wait longer for a start date at the bar.
