well, just got back from a fun time at the New York State Fair, meeting up with a bunch of members....and I think the Upstate New York group might have an unofficial mascot now!

thanks all that made it out!

anyone else having trouble with the site recently?

so a busy day always helps tire one out....let's see, how did my day go?

fell asleep around 4 AM...and up around 5:30 AM. given the events detailed in the previous blog, you can see why.

so here's what I decided to do with my day....

*dishes

*cut off some low hanging branches on our front yard tree (I now, at 5' 10 ", can...

oh how I love communication at my job....Sunday night was just another wonderful example!

i work overnights 2 nights a week (I'm the part-time overnight cashier). right now the full-time overnight cashier and myself don't talk much. why? he's a prick basically. the night crew has told me (this is from the chief and assistant chief) that he tells everyone I do no work and...

so one thing that will help you heal (when you cause some kind of damage to your shoulders lifting heavy objects in a dead lift manner)....lots and lots of restful sleep! at least for one day!

3 jobs applied for lately...

Chemical Dependency Residence Counselor
Chemical Dependency Residence Counselor Supervisor (hey, I'm qualified, why not?)
Resident Director

wish me luck....still looking.

new quote from a girl I work with....

that's all.

so new method of dealing with work BS. the Front End loves calling me in to run register when I'm closing the lot Saturday nights. I rant and rave, to no avail (I hear "These things happen" and such....even if I get called in to run register to cover breaks).

so now....I'm timing how long I'm on register, and when I start bitching now, the...

never a good thing when working maintenance and you get a call "The front women's bathroom has a situation."

even worse when you walk in cold, see it, and go "Oh God noooooooooo!" and almost hurl!

yeah...that sums up my day today!

so finished the latest Dresden Files book early Sunday morning. really nice to get through a good book....but it sucks since it ends. what's next? another year to wait. oh how I hate that about book series.....a good author gets you hooked and you have to wait for the next one! can drive you nuts!

well, its almost 6 AM now, and for some heinous reason, my body has decided that falling asleep before the hour of, say, 7 AM, it out of the question. now, since I work 8 AM to 4 PM on Friday, working around people (maintenance), it means I need to be in a somewhat social mood. yeah, this should be fun.

outside of that, not...

so all politicked out, so decided to watch "Chopped" on Food Network instead. this episode had 4 competitors that were previously "chopped" (aka, they did not win). one of those competitors on the episode is Lance Nitahara, a chef from the Adirondack region of New York.

phenomenal chef, doing amazing things...he lost the first time he was on to another amazing chef. I remember the...

so the heat wave has hit where I live. to the point where we were warmer than Florida. seriously, I did not sign up for this. I do not complain about the cold...I like the cold. its easy t deal with. and I can sleep. but with this heat, I end up sleeping in spurts, restlessly, because, no matter how much the Central Air pumps...
