Welcome to Denver!

Monday was travel day, once I got to the hotel I spend some time relaxing before having dinner and heading to bed. Tuesday was the first day of orientation. It included getting a flu shot, needles aren’t exactly my thing but I did very well! I also got travel money!!! The rest of the day was spent doing ServSafe training and some quick paperwork. Today was information overload day. It started with a welcome speech that was not so helpful since it was our second day, plus the guy that was giving it was taking pity on all the returning staff and skimmed over so much that we had no idea what was going on. We then moved on to a session of just NANA Services employees which is all the chefs, dinning attendants, and janitors. We got a good idea of what NANA is all about and then did our paperwork to get refunded for our medical, dental, eyewear, safety shoes, baggage fees, etc. It was then lunch time. After lunch we had a gap in our schedule because the supervisors were meeting. We then had a very helpful meeting about traveling, our flights, the baggage, our time in New Zealand, and our ice flight. Raytheon has really helped us prepare incase of a natural disaster like the earthquakes in both South America and New Zealand. We were also issued our luggage tags!! So cute!

I also had my computer checked over by the IT people and it passed inspection. I have been getting to know the other kitchen people and it looks like we are shaping up to have a great group. I’m going to go hang out with them by the pool then we are headed out to dinner.
