Unrecognizable.... Moi?

How sad is it that the kitchen manager from our sister restaurant that I've seen 4 times a week (at least) for the last 2 years didn't recognize me when I was standing in front of him ( Read more... )

One of the kids at work today was surprised that I remembered her name. I said, I try. Just don't change your hair. Seriously, it happens all the time. A kid takes a haircut or changes something and I can't remember who they are. So it's not unthinkable that a co-worker might not recognize you when you're dressed! (You know what I mean!)

You don't work at the college anymore? Or do you have 5 jobs at the college. Sounds very busy. Sounds like a profession I should not choose if teaching/librarian doesn't work out.

I'm still at the college. It's grad/end of class season. The different programs will have exhibitions and showcases so they want food for anywhere from 100-350 people. The college no longer uses anyone but us (which is a compliment I suppose) so our catering has increased exponentially. Unfortunately, my wage hasn't. I'll be happy if they pay for parking next year.

Right now my hours are through the roof so the business manager has been hounding the executive chef to be careful with labour costs.

It's not my fault Mr. Money Man won't put me on salary. Even with a hefty raise it would still be cheaper than keeping me on an hourly rate, especially this time of the year.

Teaching/Librarian?

Working with kids?

Um, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You're my hero.

A semi trained monkey can do my job.

It's odd sometimes how management doesn't consider the practical side when it comes to salary!

And no, I really couldn't do your job at all... though working with kids, especially at the middle school level is no picnic. You love them one minute and want to strangle them the next!

But cutting, slicing, cooking for lots and lots of people... make it taste good and look nice. Nope. Not for me. I have no patience in the kitchen.

Dear Lord, I do so love when you resurface, romie! I bet you could kick ass on Hell's Kitchen.

MILF????? *more hysterical laughing*... not at you, but more in a "You GO, girl" way.

Baby- you've always been my MILF!!! Hee- it was a romantic Niagra Falls...wasn't it?

(Sadly, there are those who would think we were serious.)

I love ya tons and miss the shit out of you.
HOWEVER- longer hair? I would not recognize you...
We would have to SHARE my blow dryer and straightener if we vaca-ed again!!

Wait- look down your shirt - does the bra match? If so, I knew I'd be a positive influence on you eventually ( ... )

We really need to do the weekend thing again. I'm in the process of renewing my passport which is a nightmare in itself. It should be easy, but because I have a German passport, the paperwork is hell, not to mention expensive.

Long form birth certificate?
$75
(My wallet sized certificate isn't good enough)

I have to get a copy of Peter's long form certificate to prove he's who he says he is.
$75

Long form copy of my marriage certificate?
$120
(The one issued at my wedding isn't good enough)

Copies of the kidlets long form birth certificates?
$325
(Again, the wallet sized ones aren't good enough)

They can get a German passport through me. This way they'd have the opportunity to work anywhere in Europe.

The passports are another $200 each.

Poor Peter is stuck with his lowly Canadian passport.

I'm in paperwork hell.

2 Birthday Parties?

I'm the crazy one. Hell I'd rather tangle with the bear than have more sleeplessovers than absolutely necessary ( ... )

I totally want you to go on Hell's Kitchen, too. You'd rock on that show.

I'd definitely make things interesting.

I can swear better and in more languages than Gordon.

If there's a Canadian version of the show they won't bleep out the naughty words.

I don't know what he'd think of my spontaneous dancing though...
