Well, I suppose that it's time to update as it has been quite a while. Work is going well. I'm getting to know my coworkers better which is helping. For a while there I kind of felt like the new kid at school (haha). I was also offered the opportunity to add an extra hour onto my day for the next few weeks, so that will be a little more money, yay! I am getting more frustrated with serving tables though. I feel like my manager and I are clashing some. I don't know if it's just me or not, but it seems like she has a problem with me. I actually think it's her attitude with everyone as I have heard some other people kind of complain about it, but it's really starting to bug me. The last thing I need right now is a manager who doesn't like me, so I'm trying to brush things off as much as possible, and also working on things I know I need improvement on when it comes to that job. Anyway, so that's that. I thought that I was getting sick yesterday. 'Tis the season. There are at least four or five kids in my class who are...three of which are the ones that I work with the most. I took a ton of Zicam though and it seems to be much better today. I'm going to stick with that and hopefully it won't come back. Poor Brian was sick a couple of weeks ago with food poisoning. It was horrible. I've never seen anyone throw up that much. We had sushi that afternoon for lunch. No bueno. The weird thing is we all ate the same thing (there were 5 of us) but only Brian got that sick. His dad got a touch of it later that night, but nothing like my poor sweetie. It's nice having the internet back. As you may or may not have noticed, Brian and I canceled with comcast for a few weeks and we were internetless. They were charging us different prices than what we had been told we would pay, and for services they never performed, so we got mad and left them. I still haven't had TV for the last two months, its been weird. I do know that I watched it too much, but I miss that availability of relaxation that it provides, and my cooking shows :( At least I still have my movies. Not that it seems like anything good has really come out lately. Brian and I have our 1 year anniversary coming up on the 20th :) I'm excited. We actually aren't doing much, as we both have to be in different placed during the day. We do hope to go out of town in December (assuming we can afford it) and make up for it. Nothing too exciting, just some time away. I'm off of school that month, so it should work out. I've been trying to bake a lot more. I went out and bought some kitchen tools that I didn't have yet, and a bunch of ingredients that will hopefully last me a while. So far I've managed to make my chocolate chip cookies turn out better than I ever have, my first attempt at an apple pie turned out pretty good (especially the crust which I heard is the hardest part). I had to make the filling twice though because, despite assurance from the recipe that it would keep overnight in the fridge before putting it into the pie, it did not. I also made a chocolate flourless cake which was super rich, but really good. Tomorrow (I hope) I shall try a roll cake. Hopefully by Christmas I'll have lots of goodies under my sleave. Well, that I think that's it for the time being. Hopefully I'll have the chance and incentive to post again soon rather than later. |
