Five sixths of the way finished with my wine room at work. I've been completely re-organizing it. My back aches, and I am half blind from trying to read small letters in dim light. Totally worth it.
I'm going for a beer this week with the first girl I ever had a crush on (this was junior high). I'm nervous, but super happy to see...

Sounds like things are progressing.
I'm exhausted. Got promoted @ the new job, and trying to finish a mountain of work. Can't decide if I'm happy about it. Feeling nutty from sleep deprivation. Okay, bye.

Ahh, bitter sweet promotion... Congrats!
cosi:
Thanks! I still can't even see it yet. Haha.
A promotion sounds like something to be happy about!

I want to go on a road trip. I had originally hoped to take one this month, and another next month. Now it looks like I can take a short one this month, then a longer one in January. So.... do I head north or south first?

Further North? 
scharpy:
Head north now, see all of the changing colors of autumn. Then in January head south. Albuquerque is always fun.
I need to keep more chocolate or cookies around the house. I have a very sad glass of milk sitting here.

I always have at least one pack of biscuits (damn yanks ruining our language!) and/or chocolate on hand. In case of emergencies.

I have not heard any of there new stuff and did not realize there was any. I am always tuned into the classical station, helps me to decompress while I am stuck in LA traffic! I also have no idea what channel MTV is even on, probably because I never watch TV so I am really lacking in the music department. Oddly enough I have worked a few times this year doing Viral stuff for a music company, writing reviews and buying music! I guess i need to do it more often!
I just looked on my itunes and I have ten, and vitology and vs and I did not even know it! ha

So, tonight was crazy. The Chef got in a fight with one of his cooks & fired the dude on the spot. The kid was so upset that T-money had to lock him in the office until he calmed down. Then poor T got the suckiest phone call. An owner of the restaurant called to talk to him about our service standards. T told him...

You should've asked last week when I was hanging out with a bunch of arborists in Kelowna, one of whom's brother is the owner and founder of Aces Wine.

No antics. We were all just at a conference which has since ended.
When were The Police in Vancouver? That must've been when I was in Australia. When you do make it back up here let me know. Good times will be had.

So it turns out that my friend who got me my new job was a sucky sommelier. I mean really bad. Tasting notes? He took none. Training materials for the staff? Nope, nada. Rhyme or reason for the "organization" of the wine room? Zip. Zilch. Properly (or even consistently) formatted wine list? Surely you jest. I am so ticked off right now. The owners of...

Bacon iced cream - if it's white I'd assume the taste would be like a big ball of bacon fat. But who knows.. I've had a bacon chocolate bar, it was decent. As well as bacon and peanut butter sandwiches.
Just be happy you don't have to taste Chinese wine... it's.. an experience.

The owners are underwhelmed? That's bullshit. Then again that's what it's like at my job. Today I was told to "have an open mind" because I wanted to get an editor to lay off the reporters for more than five minutes.
I find it entertaining that a lot of my friends are in the tech field in some fashion, so they tend to think I'm a moron when it comes to computers. I'm not a moron, but I didn't even own a computer for several years, and have had a series of jobs where I needed literally zero savvy to get by. However, in the past...

Sure!
My life is in transition. I wonder where I'm headed, but the ride is pretty great. I know I've been frustrated lately, and I still am, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

I am cranky and irritable because there is someone I can see myself spending the rest of my life with, but while we are having big conversations about what we want in life, we aren't really getting any closer to being partners and it makes me sad. My crankiness is spilling into other areas, which is not working for me.

nice meeting you too!

sorry it took me forever to come around and say hello, but hi! it was really nice to meet you the other night.
i wish you could have hung around LA longer, but glad you enjoyed it. sans stir-ups.

Being in LA makes me simultaneously happy and sad. The friend I'm staying with is a great guy, and I adore him. Usually hanging out with him is very chill. And he is also a restaurant professional, so he is as nuts about food & wine as I am. Pretty much all the time we spent together is great. But being down here also reminds...

This was lulzy, mainly because it's the middle of the night and I'm tired. But it was amusing to think your box would be my third choice in marriage.

carina:
Oh but can you really blame them? You and your box are pretty swell.
I get to see Schmelectra tomorrow.
I get to see all kinds of awesome people in LA on Tuesday.
I made a FB profile for my vag and get the giggles every time I think about it.
There are tomatoes and basil from my garden just waiting to be made into a salad.
I'm going to be employed very soon.
Life is really great.

I can totally get to SFO. In, like, a year.

Does your Vag have a lot of friends?
I wish the check I'm owed would show up. If it doesn't by Monday, I'm going to be getting creatively frugal in LA. My Friday night involves staying home & drinking w/ my brother & a bunch of friends because it's free.
Any suggestions for inexpensive ways to entertain myself?

I love how when I logged onto Facebook this morning the first thing that showed up was them suggesting I add your box.
carina:
But of course, I do not think my friends list would be complete without your box on it.
