I had my ibook facing the sun and was working on it and the screen went black. I could squint and see the screen barely. Then I restarted it.

I'm an official Shift Supervisor, YAY! I talked to my manager about making Starbucks my career and becoming a manager. I'm not sure what I'll do.

Andy and I just returned from a lovely swim at the pool. We are trying to start a swimming routine. It's not really swimming though. It's basically wading around the deep end and occasionaly having a doggy paddle race. I know how to do all of the strokes except the butterfly, but for some reason I'm shy about swimming in front of other people. Plus ( Read more... )
