Work's a drag, but I won't bore you with that. Well, it's not actually all that boring, but it's still not worth the detail.

I really, really hope I get this new job I'm going for.


Last night, I got home from work around 6pm, just as Henry was setting the table for Christmas dinner. I thought I was going to miss it entirely, and...

Glad to hear this smile

Haven't had a proper xmas/birthday celebration since Dec 2005. I know it does suck.

New job? New restaurant...?

Tomorrow I officially apply for a transfer/promotion at another property. The prelims are already rolling. I have to deal now with all the red tape with H.R. and the really ugly upcoming convo with my boss who doesn't want me to leave.

It's basically going to be between me and one other person.

It's going to come down to a cook-off.

I have some menu...

So that was awesome .... I was talking to a girl who I've known for a while, and I said, "Hey, you want to go on a date?"

Not only did she say, "No!" but I was from that point on, blacklisted by the entire staff of the place where she works.

Me? Apparently, I'm a troll. Hot!

ARRR!!!

oak:
Hahahaha

Yeah ... I'm sure being roaring drunk didn't help my case. She's actually quite a cool chick, I've known her for a while.

Well, I'm back.

It's strange going back to visit home. There's constant pressure to try to squeeze in visiting as many people as possible, and that's a lot when you lived in a place for 30 years and most of your family is there as well as most of your friends.

And you recognize everything, but it's all a little different, and it throws you...

oh hey if you are off today i would love to take you to my holiday party at work----at a bowling alley! yes! it is from 3-7 in tarzana. i'll even pick you up in my sweet rental car.

i don't really know everyone on the crew yet as i have only worked there 2 days, but they seem pretty fun and free bowling seems like a good way to spend a monday afternoon, no?

Ok I've been back from Spain for a week, but right now, just this morning, is my first glimpse of free time. I went straight back to work as soon as I got back in town, and have been going full speed the whole time.

So the trip was great. The first 3 days were spent mostly drunk in Granada, the last night of which...

Back.

Spain is fantastic.

Actually, Madrid was underwhelming -- really, it felt basically like any other big city. Had all the signs been in English instead of Spanish, I'd have thought I was wandering around Soho in London.

The rest of it was awesome, though, although the nightlife in Valencia was less exciting than I anticipated.

Didn't get many pictures; my camera is huge, so...

One of my best friend's moms died today. He called just before I was leaving work, so I sped out the door. We sat by the fireplace drinking beer, eating pizza, and watching TV for a few hours.

Sometimes that's the best thing.

10 days until I fly to Spain.

Oh, I can't wait.

Wish I had a little more money saved up, though.

A) I'm finally watching Shaun of the Dead. Funny stuff.

B) My laptop died again, and this time the warranty is out. The cost of fixing it is at least as much as it's worth, so now I'm trying to figure out how to afford just buing a new one.
