The heating was broken in the coffee shop this weekend while I was working. Six hours of no heat with three doors constantly opening, letting in gusts of well-below freezing winds. Seeing as I'm one of those people who are always cold - who is continually nudging the temperature higher in the car, a general climatic annoyance to most men and alot ( Read more... )

It's a pity I can't tell you the full name of this man I'm going to describe because his name is, in itself, so descriptive. His first name is H. Kelsey, and of course, there is always mystery surrounding a person who abbreviates their first name. Many people abbreviate the middle name, but the first? What is the H? Can it really be that bad?

As I type, I'm watching my two youngest brothers play Dance Dance Revolution. It's quite entertaining in the right setting: a seven year old versus a 17 year old stopping on sensory mats - battling one another for better rhythm. I do have to brag a bit - I got an A on my turn. All those dance classes in college paid off ( Read more... )

I'm at work with nothing to do. There are too many tellers for the number of teller stations. I was given work from another department (and I got my own desk - pretty cool), but now I'm done. There are still too many tellers...So, I'm playing on the internet. Yeah, life is hard ( Read more... )

Let me just say to start off...I love working in customer service. I'm learning to be quite chatty and I meet all kinds of interesting people everyday ( Read more... )

I have finally found employment. Next week I'll start as a teller at a bank and as a what-ever-you-want-to-call-it at Caribou Coffee. Afew more weeks til a paycheck - yeehaw! Cuz I'm getting tired of eating off the coffee table and having to dig through cardboard boxes for my books (for lack of a dining table and bookshelves). Right now, the ( Read more... )

I have time to kill while I wait for Josh to get out of his first class at Crown so we can eat lunch. I'm pretty tired and I noticed a sitting area set up in the women's restroom with a very comfy looking couch, but I have chosen instead to type nonsense onto my journal ( Read more... )

I've now moved to MN - a most lovely state. But I have yet to find a job - which sucks. I hate looking for jobs. I've noticed, though, that interviewing for a job is not unlike auditioning for a play. You gotta play the part that the boss - the director - wants played. I just finished an interview at a bank earlier this morning, and I think I ( Read more... )

I'm moving to MN in four days. Oh how the minutes drag, how the hours lag! I still don't have a job lined up, but - ya know - minor details. : ) Security is highly overrated - one should jump into the future without worrying about piddly things like money and bills...especially when one has to. :) I am choosing to not focus on the negative ( Read more... )

Here's something cool but strange - the more messes and disasters I create at my mother-in-laws restaurant, the more she seems to like me. And you must believe me when I insist on how truly amazing my messes can be - almost poetic at times. Alot of those wrong time, wrong move type situations. Anyway, I truly encourage all who plan to get ( Read more... )
