I think I just bought an insurance policy


Just now I helped the thug types who live in my building jumpstart their full-sized dodge van. They were trying to use a lighter and cables with a short to get the van jumped and first I pulled out my maglight and then troubleshot their cables and substituted mine subsequently. Plus, I gave them a talking to about the dangers of batteries and hydrogen gas, hopefully they'll get a flashlight next time. I'm guessing that my car won't get broken into anytime soon. I worked both jobs today, the golf club thing was a sinch, except for well....a fair amount of disorganization that led to some uncharacteristic cussing on my part, but hey that's senioritice for yah....half the help at the club is on the way out and some of the college kids are slacking and there's a change in management to boot, so we'll see where that goes, they're not hiring a sous-chef until spring, so the story goes and I'm not sure I'd be interested at all anyway, but they should be interested
'cause I've got a feeling shit's gonna go real sour real quick.......well so it goes.

I'm going to check out my possible future employment - the birchwood cafe - tomorrow night and see what it's like, plus I've heard that both the staff and clientel are hot.....barbette hot?...we'll have to see.

Anyway that's about all I've got for tonight seeing as how I'm tired.

post script: Happy belated birthday to K_rel of this is not a fugazi tee shirt dot blogspot dot com

Yeah, so I'm working up a new template for my blog and it's here for public viewing. I'm not sure I like it at all, but It's taking me a while to customize it because I've been off the internets for quite some time and haven't been keeping up on my small small amount of html cut/paste skillz.

So, I ran around a little this afternoon took a nap made lunch and dinner, pretty much a normal lazy saturday, except that it's tuesday.

Anyway, I think I'm going to have a conversation about my new job prospects with the chef at my full time cooking job, hopefully, well really I haven't really figured out the right way to approach that one yet, but we'll see what he's got to say about it...kinda thinking it doesn't matter, but that's that.

Additionally, I think I'm getting motivation to see this state fair buisness, but I'm not sure when I'm going, maybe this weekend; the golf club buisness is slowing down and I'm only working there three days this week, so maybe something less than twenty hours, which is nice for a change, but I've got to get better at not getting bored with my free time, even today it seemed like too much to have a whole day off - probably just shell shock from not just hanging out for a day for a while without anything pressing to get done, I'm sure it's good for me somehow.

later y'all

Stuff, stuff and more stuff,

As I was virtually discussing with a_ron and cheffillipe last night in separate converasations I'm fairly certain I missed the bus twice in one week and two euphamistically separate buses (the euphamisism are the same the buses were different and yes sexy). So, all I've got to say about that is, stupid f-ing working at 7am saturday and sunday......shit maybe I'll catch a bus sooner than later, but I've got to get better at knowing when the bus is leaving 'cause both times it was a flat whif, shit I didn't even really see it coming on one occasion and on the other I really just should have been more assertive, shit I don't know maybe I didn't want to catch either bus anyway......regardless there'll be more buses and such, like the fish.

In occupational news, apparently hard work pays off. I got a job offer at an organic cafe last night. It felt real good to find out that sometimes you don't just get used for working concienciously and efficiently. I'm starting to think that the country club thing is about as much as I can take and I'm fairly certain that if a position opened up there I wouldn't be offered it anyway as a result of needs which is straight up fucking bullshit, but that's the way the world is sometimes and that world can stay in sub-suburbia with its fucking driving ranges and monkeys wearing short pants who'd rather eat a burger and fries than a fresh made pasta with a made to order sauce or whatever.....who am I to argue with the eating habits of bloody suv wielders.

So, today I'm off of work entirely and I've just kicked through my long forgotten Oranger cd (highly recommended) - the cd was inside my clock radio and woke me up the other morning because I had the switch moved to cd instead of alarm; I'm just glad I didn't have the volume turned all the way down 'cause this fool wouldn't have woke up for shit otherwise or not....this morning my eyes opened to the new day at like seven and then I drank coffee, washed the feeks off my body (long story), and drank some of the beautiful french pressed shade grown organic sludge I've been getting so accustomed to and made my way to the coffee shop to type and internet, alas I still don't have my home internet connection hooked up and feel guilty scamming it off various unsecured weefee networks in the area, albeit with a shitty connection from my home. Right now I've got Bright Eyes blaring in my headphones . Later today I think I'm going shopping I'm going to get a chair from IKEA and some new brown shoes.

Songs on the Radio

What's it mean when the only song on the radio that rings true is "Let it be" by the Beatles.....oh yeah, and personally, I perfer the one that they did on sesame street better anyway, but that's neither here nor there. So last night at work one of my coworkers put the soft hits station on the radio and I heard both Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith; brought me back to some strange days - that's fo sho. over.

Over the last couple of weeks I've acquired a couple of new vices. The first is San Pellegrino Limonata - may the lord have mercy on my poor decrepit soul. Sour, bubbly and citrusy sweet, bloody ambrosia that's what it is. The second is alone time in my new apartment in the mornings that I'm not working. It's real just to hang out and enjoy the world I've built around myself. Oh yeah, these things don't coincide. In other vice news I've been drinking more and smoking less, although I think I may drink less again for a while now that summer festivities are all over as far as my eyes can see at least.

Anyway, it's about time for me to take back the pair of cooking shoes that I bought a week ago they're dangerous slippery in a commercial kitchen setting so fyi don't go and get yourself a pair of Santia by Emeril anytime soon 'cause you might as well wear ice skates around the kitchen - there I said it - BLAH!

I just may have to puchase one of the "I support foreign car magnet manufacturers" shirts. These'll be classic in a few months mark my words..or not.

Sharing..I learned that in preschool, but not like this.

What's it mean to share a cigarette? Well total revulsion is likely out of the question in the very least that's alright I guess.

..no seriously...

If that's the display model I'm right there.

bye.

Holy hell,

Bloody magnificado!

That's it!

Righto, so I bought a sweet laptop today, I've lately figured that I work hard, so I should reap some of the benefits of the labor.....and such.

Other than that I've been just mostly working a lot and having a bit of fun at some company summer parties. Last night I hung out at this place on lake independence - my golf club outing; we drank and talked and chilled mostly, but it was cool as always to hang with the folks that I stress with while they're not stressing. The better of the two (no offence to y'alls b.o. folk) was at the bryant lake bowl, the owner of the restaurant I cook at owns that bowling alley too, so she threw a party for us - free bowling, open bar.....all on a Monday night and well within walking distance to my new apartment - hoo ha!

I'll be back for more sooner than later, hopefully we get the internets hook-ed to my apartment this week or then next...it's kinda requisite anyway, 'cause ya gotta have cable tv to watch american football Sunday nights and that, I've heard, starts fairly soon as well.
