Anyways, told the brass at work that I had a new opportunity. They're freaked about me leaving, but they get it. Said they'd step up the pace on finding a replacement for my old boss. One guy came in for an interview today, but no dice. I was in on it; it's weird interviewing someone to be your boss. He wasn't right for the spot,...

I'm more pissed off about the lost love than I was excited about the new job.
I guess life is funny that way ... making things that matter less, seem more important than things that matter more.
{EDIT}
That was me whinging about some girl I was dating, being out with someone else. Anyways, I was seeing other people too, and she knows it, and...

I'd be more pissed about the lost love, harder to come by good love than a good job...in LA anyway...
Got an offer.
Took it.
They want me to start in 4 to 6 weeks, when the place opens.
Only thing is, I still have to wait until my current job hires someone to replace my old boss before I can leave.

you're totally gonna get that job, dude.
Hard to say how the interview went ... but I can certainly say this: whether or not I get this job, I know for a fact that it's time for me to get out of the job I'm in now, and go about things the hard way instead of the easy way, to make me better at what I do in the long run.
But...

Well, I was given 10-14 days to decide whether or not I want the promotion to fill my old boss's vacant spot. I still haven't really decided, but I'm leaning against it.
Then about 30 minutes later I got a phone call about meeting with a couple of really hot-shit chefs around town, who are opening a new brasserie in a few weeks. I'm meeting...

mmm. brasserie.

Well, internet connect is back up at the house.
Work is bonkers, but at least I get paid overtime.
I'm digging it, but it's exhausting.
And I'm looking for a change.
I need to get back into a normal restaurant. That much has become apparent.
Tired. So tired...

Internet connection's been down at the house for over a week, I think?
Suck.
Working like a dog. Boss quit, I'm taking up the slack.
Always an adventure.

how was cowboy night last week? you know, in chatsworth? i hope someone took photos.
The cold is fading.
I didn't get the job I was going for; I'm not that upset, except that I didn't get a real shot at it. Because it's at a place owned by the same company as the one I work for now, the red tape tangled up my ambition and cut it off at the knees.
I'm taking it as a sign that...

you and me both buster..... i was a total fucking, mess.
I think 2007 is going to be a humdinger. Good or bad, I don't know, but a humdinger for sure.
I wrote that in my journal on December 31, 2006; one year ago, today.
I was right.
I'm still not sure whether it was good or bad; it certainly had its moments in both directions.
Action-packed, I'll call it.
Funnily enough, I've ended this year...
