Introduction: Getting the Job

This blog is called This Is Fast Food. As if the title didn't explain that well enough. I got the name for the blog not from Blood Diamond, but from my year in Kenya in 10th grade. My American friend would always say "TIA" whenever something I didn't understand happen. Things like the packed 12-seat van that started driving down the sidewalk, or seeing the prisoners go to work from our bus stop. Every morning. They started waving at us. But I digress haha. "TIA" stands for "This is Africa". Things like vans and prisoners don't happen in my small town or even in cities in America. Only in Africa. Hence the name of my blog.

I'll be writing about all of the crazy stuff that goes down at my job which I will refer to as 'Chickenland' for the sake of playing it safe with my employment. Famous for their chicken and biscuits. Stuff that happens here doesn't happen in normal restaurants. Don't think I've seen it on TV either. I first started working there as soon as my family got back from Kenya. Like the week we moved into town. We moved in Saturday. I filled out the application Monday morning. I returned to correct the phone number Monday afternoon. I got the interview as soon as I was leaving to go back home. I started working Thursday. That's how I get it done hahaha.

Woohoo! My first job! I did not know what on earth I was getting myself into.
