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!

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...
