Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Catherine, Thanks for the response - sorry for the late reply but my computer is still acting wonky. Today it seems fine, though. I'm feeling a little better about taking this job. Friday was actually a pretty good day. But people here don't seem especially friendly. Oh, well. I won't mind that so much when I start receiving paychecks. Love, Anna > " Catherine Harris " <cait2 > > >RE: Job >Thu, 20 May 2004 17:39:52 +0000 > >hi anna >ihave just started a new job and its very nerve wracking getting to know a >whole new set of people, give it a chance because work always leads to more >work....... > >good luck > >catherine > > > >lv2breathe > > > > > >CC: Lv2breathe > > Job > >Thu, 20 May 2004 10:32:20 EDT > > > >In a message dated 5/19/04 4:43:29 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > > writes: > >Message: 22 > > Wed, 19 May 2004 15:59:22 -0600 > > " Anna Blaine " <annacblaine > >Re: waitress > > > >Still catching up on e-mails.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I live in the Daly City area and I was wondering if anyone knows of any vegetarian or vegan restaurants that I might be able to apply for a job. This would be greatly appreciated. I have no preference, just no meat products. Thank you. Yvette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
