This sucks ( Read more... )

Today, it was 34 degrees in central Illinois ( Read more... )

My beer isn't awful!! it's too malty, otherwise good!!
now i get to drink it!!
and then i get to make more beer!!!

yesterday, at work, we dropped a pallet of coke 12-packs.... Since only five of us noticed(including the manager in charge), we left it out back and i am now the proud owner of at least 40-50 cans of free soda. It's the only free stuff i've gotten in almost two months on the job, but it's still satisfying.

So i finally started brewing my beer and it's roiling happily in the closet. the waiting is the hardest part... i have no idea if it will be any good at all. give it a few weeks.

Also, i'm coming home in December. Woot! I'm coming in early on the 25th(X-mas) and leaving late on the 30th. Woot!!!! stuff and things of the california variety

It's official, i am the new natural foods manager after one day less than a month on the job. Woot!!
i get benefits!!! and stock!!!(eventually) and a gold name badge!!!! Woot!

also, and equally exciting, i finally found the homer simpson slippers that i have hunted for since seeing them at a white elephant last christmas!!!

I may not have to look for another job! The store director offered me the new Full-time(with benefits!) job of supervisor for the new natural food section!!!!! now it hasn't been finalized, so no jinxing but i would be stoked to do it. i would do all of the ordering, stocking, and floor promotion. did i mention the raise ( Read more... )

it just is...
there is no organization in the back room at all... every morning i show up at the ass crack of dawn and the night crew has left shit just about everywhere. there's long chunks of time when i can't find a single manager and they suck when i do find them.

there is only one gay bar in town..... but its a pretty nice club. and three dollar drinks(strong)...but i had one too many and am paying for it now

I have a job. It's no great shakes, $8 an hour to stock a County Market, but it's a job. It will bring in some money for now. Until I find a better job, or not. We shall see.
