NEW INTERN, NEW DAY






My goodness, what a busy first few days! From the beginning, the entire staff has been amazing and eager to help with my acclamation to the fast pace life that an intern at Ruth’s Chris leads.

Monday consisted of inputting clients into the computer, a job that is surprisingly repetitive, because you see the name once, and remember it forever. Also, I got to learn all about the history of Ruth’s Chris (and a standard sexual harassment video). Anyone know why it is called “Ruth’s Chris”? I do, so feel free to ask (just like a guy in my Business Ethics class did. Of course it was before I actually knew, but I told him as soon as I found out why!!!)

Tuesday was a great (and early) first meeting day! Gracie and I went to the Downtown Bellevue Association meeting, the topic being the new Puget Sound transit system, running through Capitol Hill to Downtown Bellevue. It was an interesting meeting and the food made it so much better! A sort of Steak Eggs Benedict with fruit from El Gaucho completely hit the spot, much better than the Yoplait I gulped down driving over 520. Wish I had snapped a picture, but now I know to bring my camera everywhere, so as not to have you followers miss a beautiful meal!

Wednesday was a day dedicated to confirming reservations and updating Ruth’s Chris social networking skills. Everyone should add us on LinkedIn and Facebook, cause it is now my responsibility to update these pages! I am excited to have this task, just because you can never be too tech savvy!
Plans for tomorrow: Class and then Ruth’s Chris at 4pm. Onto the Project Greenlight Fall Fashion Show with Gracie to see amazing designers and nibble on some tasty bites! Can’t wait for all the amazing experiences coming my way!!!

Team Sizzle at the Covey Run 5k/10k

One of the projects Lisa worked on before she went back to school was organizing the Covey Run 5k/10k.

Well a couple weeks ago, many of us woke up (EARLY) and got to the starting line by 8 a.m. YIKES! Keep in mind we work in at a restaurant...late hours.

We started and ended at the Redhook Brewery in Woodinville, WA. The Covey Run is a run benefitting Children's Hospital.

Beautiful sunny day and we all had a great time.

Half of us ran the 5k and the other half the 10k.
