it is my job, in this paradoxical world, to try and make you like things that you think you don't like.

and we thank you for that e_e.
i am still working part-time for the catering company. i'm so experienced with job hunting that i'm bound to get a full-time job soon. if it pays more, offers more hours and puts me in contact with fewer prima donnas than the old job, i will consider it a vast improvement. now that i don't work at the other restaurant, i might go back in...

Thank you my friend.
rubix:
yay fooood!!!! sounds like fun!
watch this series if you get a chance.
the restaurant let me go last night. just as much an issue of fitting in as it was speed, they said. c'est la vie. back on the job hunt. single and unemployed again. sigh.
wsoxfan:
I'm so sorry to hear this. They obviously didn't appreaciate your talents. Sounds like you have the right attitude in order to get an even better job.
Wishing you the best of luck.

two days off, and although it's nice, i feel like it wouldn't be a bad idea to do some job hunting.
wsoxfan:
You know best. You should do some if you think it's wise.
rubix:
job hunting huh- go get em tiger!
i had my first-month review at work. they said i had improved 100%, but that i still need to reduce ticket times during the rushes if i want to get hired on full-time. apparently i have a few weeks to impress the front of the house management with my speed. i thought i had already made it...

Give them sweat, they'll want blood. Give them blood, they'll want flesh.

Don't be discouraged, although I agree with mdf. Management can be very hard to please. I have faith that you'll be hired full-time.
and the brutal stretch begins today. i work 3-11 tonight and 8-4 tomorrow. then 9-4 sunday, 3-11 monday and 3-11 tuesday. i had an interesting talk on the phone with my ex-girlfriend. she did her best to apologize for being ridiculously uncivil when we broke up in march, but she's still a little removed from the facts. to put it nicely. i returned some of...

Dating is like riding a bicycle - takes a minute, but eventually you remember how, and inevitably you slip and whack your balls on the crossbar.
wsoxfan:
Yeah. I know what it's like to compare new relationships to someone that meant a whole lot to me in the past. It's a relief when you get over that, which it looks like you have.
Getting involved with someone at work is tricky. After some debate with myself, my feeling is that life's too short to let something potentially pass you by because of logistics.
I say, "go for it".

I'd go for that waitress/bartendress if I was you. Good luck.
hot in abq today.

We're expecting being in the 90s on Sunday and Monday.
Have a great weekend.

EH!!! long time no talk!
excellent. six of the next nine days off before another brutal friday through tuesday stretch. i even get july 4th off, because the restaurant is closed. there is a prima donna motherfucker i have to work with on occasion who is the most arrogant, condescending, petulant dickhead i have met in a long time. granted, he has more experience than me and is better than...

So he's destined to be the head chef in many failed restaurants.

An asshole is an asshole no matter the circumstances. It's unfortunate that someone like that has to spoil what otherwise seems to be a great job.
I hope the situation improves somehow.

finished with saturday and sunday brunch. i work monday night, then i'm trying to get someone to cover my shift tuesday night so i can go see rush in concert. i went out on a date with a 19 year-old about a two years ago, when i lived in vegas. and she didn't know who ac/dc was. she had also told me she was 21...

I think it shoud be the latter. Someone not knowing certain things is a definite a red flag. What you describe certainly fits the bill.
this shit was pretty sweet. not quite as awesome as the zidane footage from 2006, but close. soccer is as capricious as rocky mountain winds, but i think the united states has some mojo heading into the next games. ghana and then likely uruguay in the round of 8 if they win. the team has, like, 5 serious goal-scoring threats, but the back line is...

That game should have been like 4-0

At the risk of sounding like a traitor, I'd prefer seeing a team like Ghana win. I feel that something like this is so much more important to the citizens of a country that don't have much to cheer about in everyday life because of poverty and the lack of modern technology. They don't have much going for them other than some type of athletic achievement.
