job

woo hoo. wlelo sort of i mean its not dream work. it's only starbucks. but it is work. and i get to have health insurance again, which can be useful. you don't know how hard its been being careful not to get sick or hurt (i'm a horrible klutz if you didn't ge tthat from the title here in gravity land) and they want me. which at least makes me feel useful for a change. you all know how it goes with job hunting. a million no's and then finally a yes. i mean it is a yes but its not a real job. no offense to all those fabulus barristas out there. i want a job where i have to think and sadly. memorizig coffee facts just doesn't do much for me....sigh
sorry i'm not this grouchy, really. it's just frustrating hearingall those no's you know? hahhaha sorry its early. i'm dippy. but anyhoo.
i start on monday. i have to learn how to use a headset. this store has a drive through. i'm concerned. i'm not horribly techosavvy when it comes to that sort of thing. i mean hell i can make a mean cup of coffee but not so sure about microphones and headsets. anyhoo.
i just have to deal with cfamily in from out of town for a couple of days. its gonna be an old biddy fest here. mom, aunt and 2 of their cousins will be here for a couple days. sigh. headphones and knitting here i come!
oh yeah and i have to go shopping. silly corporate people don't like my tattoo. humph. so i have to find some collared shirts. in black. preferrably short sleeved so i don't have a heat stroke... they insist you can wear white but hellooooo. coffee stains every day? i am just not a pretreat kinda girl and i hate laundry so if i had to wash it all. twice. i think i'd go buggy. black it is. and to think. i haven't work black shirts with black pants/skirts since high school. luck i threw out the old makeup or i might slip into silly angsty lesley out of habit ;)

Congrats on the job.... It may not but the dream, but for now, at least, it's cash flow, and I guess in truth that's an evil necessity!

Yay! Definitely not the worst of jobs:-) But where do you have the tattoo that bothers them? It's not right on your neck, is it?
Umm, do you need to update your picture in the 'about me' section?;-)

Something's better than nothing right? And you know what they say (though I'm not sure whether it's true or not) it's easier to find another job, when you already have a job...

Hope it isn't too horrible!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
