weekly update

i'm knitting a bit. i'm sweating a lot. it has been unbearably warm here lately. hence the knitting not so much. i just don't like the feel of damp yarn. call me crazy. but there is light at the end of the tunnel. rather there is central air conditioning. or there will be. at the new place. see. since lesely has not found a new job yet. and since th elandlord is selling the current place...she has to move with mom to a new place. which happens to have airconditioning. yeay. the bad news i'm moving up to north denver. i am pretty sure we could spit on the airport from the new place. sigh. i'm gonna miss the boulder snb girls and guys. mental note, knit with them as much as possible before the move. i will however be able to visit the denver knitters more conveniently now. and even better i will be able to comfortably knit, even wool, in the summer. yeay.
cross your fingers i do find a job soon though. if nothing more than for my sanity. but most especially for my yarn budet :)

Good luck with the job search. At least you'll be closer though! Sorry for the move and all.

Oooh oooh oooh, does this mean you'll be living close to me? I know it doesn't have the ambiance of Boulder over here, but things are getting better, and you know you can hoof it to my place any old time for coffee and whatnots.

Well, I'm glad at least your move is bringing you closer to me. Moving sucks - hope it goes well. And drop me a line if you want to knit!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
