So I finally got a job. Reffing is over so I got hired today at a semi-local pizza place. I don't think many will have heard of it but it's Georgio's oven fresh pizza company, there in Ohio right now. I talked to the owner and gm of the store today and was hired. I start at minimum wage and move up from there. Now I can start saving up for some more "high-tech" equipment. I see some new changes for my tanks in the near future and money for college. Just thought I'd let you all know

Isabella

That's great news Atm Just don't eat too much pizza while working there! Otherwise, all that running you do would be for nothing, LOL

Peterpiper

Well done ATM, THATS GREAT NEWS . Wish you all the best in your new job

atmmachine816

thanks guys and isabella I only get a small pizza for free for every 4 hours i work, so i don't think i'll have a problem eating too much pizza

MagpieTear

Congrats on the new gig! You cooking, delivering or managing? I've done all three as a teenager at Metro Pizza, the delivery is the best option of the three, coz' of the tips.

Peterpiper

Now that would depend on how many hours you worked ( insert pizza smilies )
lol

COBettaCouple

congrats on the new job!

"ONLY" 1 pizza per 4 hours? LOL ... if you work 8 hours a day (as I assume you do, or is it a part time position?), that's 2 pizza slices a day! So, if you work a 40 hour week (8 hours a day for 5 days), that's 10 slices of pizza a week! All of that cheese every day ... is really not healthy for anyone! I think I'd throw up eating pizza every day for a week, yuck! I eat pizza - on average - maybe once every 2 months. (Sometimes it's once a month, and sometimes once every 3 months. Not a big fan of pizza, I guess.)

P.S. I was talking about 10 slices of pizza ... unless you mean you get 1 WHOLE pizza per 4 hours! That's freaking 10 pizzas a week! LOL I can't imagine how anybody could eat that much pizza!

I think he meant a whole small pizza. I work at my in-laws pizza restaurant, and I get tons of free pizza. One free "shift meal" per day, plus, since I'm family, I eat a bit more than that. I know thats kind of gross on any level, but see the P.S.

And I'm still 6'0" and under 150 lbs.

P.S Pizza isn't that bad for you if its made with good ingredients. Corporate pizza chains like Pizza Hut use crappy ingredients, on the same level as McDonald's or Burger King, which are gross. But, a lot of places, like where I work, make the dough and sauce in house, along with using fresh ingredients...makes for a much better pizza.

Isabella

I agree with you, with respect to foods made by corporations. And it doesn't apply just to pizza. All foods made by large corporations are unhealthy. The larger the corporation, the unhealthier the food.

It has definantly been done more than once during summer holidays rofl.

Jack

neverendingninja

Word.

Isabella

Jack ... lol, and how was your stomach during that time?

I don't think I'd be able to eat the same food all the time. I have to differentiate my foods. Don't like the same stuff every day. When I eat too much of one kind of food, it sort of starts to disgust me and I have to stop eating it alltogether. I will usually eat it again after a longer while.

neverendingninja

Thats why its nice to have over 20 toppings to choose from for your pizza.

jack11

hmm well my mates and i were at a beach house and there was a pizza hut down the road so being teenage guys we couldnt be bothered to do much else. our daily routine was wake up eat the left overs from the previous night for breakfast, go to the beach for like 5 hours, go back play soccer then get more pizza

Jack

PS i did feel quite siick by the end of it but it was good fun

PPK9110

haha i hated working at my old job

atmmachine816

magpietear I'm cooking for now, that's where they are starting me and since I dont have a car I wont be delivering so no good tips for me

I'll probably work 10-15hours a week during school weeks and more on off days. I get one small pizza per four hours and I can trade my pizza with employers of other stores by me if I don't want it and get chipotle, ice cream, donuts, or bagels....yum I eat pizza usually once a week, I'm a big fan of pizza

ooo you lucky, you must get tons of free pizza. I agree with you, pizza isn't bad when you get the smaller stores or make your own pizza, and pizza hut pizza doesn't even taste that good.

That sounds like fun, when we went to a running camp over the summer we got boxes of a sport drink and drank almost a box a day (12x16oz. pacakages) though we were running a lot I don't think it was good for us, sounds kinda like yours

Peterpiper

When are you starting your new job? I may just place a order to sample your cooking! only thing is, it will be old & cold when it gets here lol

Tom

Hi, ya, can I get a large pepperoni and mushroom with extra cheese and fully loaded with all the different toppings. And does the '30 mins or it's free' count with you guys? Oh, wait, oops. I was actually talking with a pizza parlor there and must have switched the two conversations by accident. Sorry. lol Congrats on the new job. Are you still a soccer ref too? I bet you are cooking up a storm right now, aren't you?
Tom

Sabi

Congrats on the job Atm!
Hey, pack away all the pizza you can, only dont eat too much at a time else you'l get pretty sick of it soon!!
I'm a pizza fan too. I think i'l have one for supper...

Dino

Congradulations!!!!

I only work for 2 reasons:

Money for fish

Time away from the eleves.

atmmachine816

Ya I'm still reffing but that's only during the spring and fall and I needed a source of income between the two and now I've found it. Maybe when I can learn to make that pizza I'll send one to you free of charge, you can pay for shipping and heat packs though.

O I already eat a lot of pizza, I don't think I could get tired of it unless I ate it more than once a day, though pizza for breakfast, that's good

I'll send it to you for free, though shipping to australia might be more than canada. I start this saturday for three hours, the owner wanted to train me herself and that's when she works and I'm not in school.

atmmachine816

Lol I work for:

money for fish

money for wii

money for college

I think you need to get away from those elves more, your mis-spelling their names, they might take offense to that.....

Peterpiper

Hows the new job going ATM ? Hope its going well for your

Dino

They know better than take offense.

They would much rather work with me, here with the monkeys than alpha centuri and the spiders.

atmmachine816

Yes I was just about to post here, but you beat me to it. It's going good, I like it a lot. I worked three hours last week and have eight hours this week. Basically I take phone orders and make pizza's mainly and a few other things if they ever get ordered, but the store mostly sells pizza's. What they do is sell large pepperoni and cheese pizzas at a discounted price and call them fresh-n-ready pizza's and you walk in a buy them for 5$, no calling in or waiting. They sell so many at the discounted price they make a profit.


LOL makes complete sense

Peterpiper

I am glad the new job is going well for you! Gee $5 pizza! thats a good deal

atmmachine816

thanks, ya 5$ a pizza is a good deal and it tastes good too, they just sell so many they make a profit.

neverendingninja

Its not hard to make a profit off pizza, really. The ingredients are so cheap when you buy in bulk, its ridiculous. For 81 pounds of dough, its pretty much a cup of sugar, a cup of salt, some wet yeast, a bit of "agnus"(pre-made highly active yeast culture...pretty similar to what you get in DIY co2), oil and 2 large bags of flour.

The difficult part is making a profit while paying employees

MagpieTear

In a previous life I managed the home store and the commissary of Metro Pizza. The hard part is finding employees worth paying.... that won't rob you blind or steal your recipes and go start their own shop up to compete against you in the district you taught them.
