So, I went to my friend's funeral yestarday. Not surprisingly, there were hundreds of people there, and the cemetary hall was bursting, with people in the aisles, in the reception area, and spilling out the doors. It was so packed a girl fainted. I didn't like the prosletyzing in the sermon (nor did his parents), but... Read More
D'oh! Guilty as charged of not reading the fine print.
Unfortunately, I'd have to see way too much of the I-5 to get up there for the opening, so I'll have to remain in Saint Didacus for at least the evening.
Hope to see you at a gathering when you make it down here, though!
Thanks for your support, guys. I really appreciate it. I am feeling a little more stable, but still shocked and saddened by the loss of a friend.
On a lighter note, it looks like my company wants to hire me back for a different location. Who knows where the future may take me, but at least it won't be to the poorhouse yet!
Thanks for the link. I forgot about the advanced part. It's been awhile since I looked into it. I might get into it in a few years after I burn out of my current career.
I was going to post about how optimistic I am for the new year, and how things are looking up in my life, but a close family friend passed away a couple hours ago, and I feel like I'm drowning. He was like a brother to me, and I just feel so overwhelmed. I don't know what to do for his family. I don't know... Read More
I found out that my old restaurant (the one I left a year ago) is looking for a new manager. I emailed our operations manager, and he responded that he has an opportunity in San Diego. Bit of a commute for me, but I called back expressing interest just in case....
edit: Hey, I have a wedding dress! Who wants to marry me?
Hey! I know I'm going out tonight but I'm not sure where exactly. I would totally be down for a pre drunk-fuckwads drink. I don't have your number anymore (I too have a new phone). I'll message you mine. I'll be at work until probably 5 ish.
So, the mini tree was a big hit. The boys couldn't recognize my writing, then they were too drunk to figure out that the lights were on a battery pack (hence no plug), and it was really fun.
Less fun is the fact that when the Grille re-opens in February, they will be doing so with a smaller staff. I was laid off today. The... Read More
There is something wrong with the world when snow is on the ground near my house. I always explain that being a "California girl" means that in my life snow is something you visit. Local news shows are loving it. Probably because they don't have to work outside.
Speaking of working outside, my restaurant has three buildings, so I've been scurrying from one to... Read More
I keep seeing little wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. I know most of them are from smiling, which is not a bad way to map my life. I actually kind of like the way my face is aging. However, I seem to have developed the acne of a 13-year-old. What gives?
I am most of the way through my Christmas shopping, and have been... Read More
Are you honestly interested in joining the SG Conservatives Group? Membership requirements have changed, but the reasons why it is private are still the same.
So, the NewBoy apologized for being insensitive, and things actually settled out as best as they possibly could. I thought that was going to be a lot worse than it was, but we're all good now. Works out because I was pissed at the idea that I was going to miss out on having a "best friend" at work, and now I won't miss out!... Read More
Ever wish we could go back to the old format where you could edit more than 15 minutes later? I do. I've been away so long that I mixed up people on the site and caused unintentional offense. Seriously, just wish I could vacuum up things I say sometimes.
