Today the new schedule came out and I am scheduled to have 2 days off one of which is sunday, just like we agreed. Hell yes. Kind of a weird day at work today but a good day for me. I got a lot of stuff done and managed to not have to work the line at all.

The wife is dealing with things with...

Come on Sunday I am ready for a day off. Before I can start my regular schedule I have to train for a couple weeks. I have to learn every station and the banquet menu and procedures and blah blah blah. That is all pretty standard but it means 2 weeks of 6 twelve plus hour days full of running around all day trying to...

First day at the new job is in the books. It lasted a good hour longer than it was supposed to which I was kind of expecting. My new exec is young and it is his first exec gig. He is a fucking spaz but I really like him. He has just been run ragged with no help and so he is glad to have...

The wife is officially done with school. She doesn't graduate til may but she has completed all of her course work and is just waiting for the ceremony. Hell yeah for the wife. We both unsuccessfully attended the same little college in Kansas and I am so proud of her for going back and getting it done. I do not possess that drive or desire....

Lazy day today. Ms. Sun was sick thursday and friday and yesterday diagnosed with a typical pneumonia which I have been told means it is only in one lung. She is on antibiotics and bed rest. The wife is off finishing her last school project and the Ziz and I are watching a pretty lame adaptation of the Wind and the Willows. They aren't even...

So enough whiny bitchery. Finally I will print some happy news. My second interview was much better than my first. I went in planning to just put all my concerns out on the table and make them tell me no. Instead they said many nice and comforting things and promised to work around my needs as much as possible and agreed to all my time...

The interview went well. I have a second interview on monday. Typical interview crap, pretty much word for word the same spiel every chef/owner gives you, "this place is a culinary wasteland" " I have to go to Chicago to eat" "I demand excellence" blah blah blah. The exec is ten years younger than me seems like a nice enough guy but he talked around...

Job interview tomorrow. I only sent out one resume yesterday and it was to a craigslist ad. I really didn't expect a response and if they piss test it's a no go since 3 days off will not clear 20 years of pot smoking out of 300 pounds of fat but I'm going to check it out anyway. It is another hotel job, hotel, country...

I didn't get a lot done today but it was not for lack of trying. I spent the day trying to locate and update my resume. It was no where so I had to dig out the old computer and get it off there. Then of course I couldn't get it to open on the new computer. I have finally got it on the new...

I got my pick up in the mail so this will be brief so I can check it out.

My job just got totally crazy. I am looking for another job. The board decided to eliminate my bosses position as of 4/1. Not fire and replace her, eliminate her position and retain her as "head waitress" is she wants. Her position is club manager, basically...

Lame day at work, Ash Wednesday killed my lunch. I think everyone must have used their lunch hours to go get their for heads thumb printed. Tonight we have to eat Avanti's because of a school fund raiser so hooray I don't have to make dinner. Ms' Sun has a dress rehearsal tonight for her play next week. It was supposed to be yesterday but...

Jah be praised the in-laws are gone. I was a fine visit and we got a lot of things fixed around the house. I also got to see a ten foot long sewing machine and how often do you get to see that. The girls are home today so we went to lunch as did everyone else with kids home today. What a cluster fuck...
