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!

space science and a little silliness {closed}

so i was reading some online news and look what i found! you've got to read this its about pluto . so my question is. what happens to the rhyme that kids use to memorize the order? i mean hello! My Very Ecellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas... just doesn't have the same ring without the pizzas does it? oh well. so i have a proposition . no no silly no tthat kind of proposition. dave would get mad! or at least i hope he would... anyhoo. come up with your own rhyme to help kids memorize the order. the sillier the better, and the winner will get something fabulous from my stash. wow. i've never had a contest before this is kinda fun! i guess i have to figure out a way to pick the winner. hmm. ok all entries that include the beginning letter of all the currently accepted planets and usues them in order will go into a hat. not the actual people who enter. thats a big hat. but all their entries :) and a random draw shall decide ok? enter as many times as you like. and have

stick a spoon in these and stir!

lots of sugar in my cappuccino please. or maybe iced. it has been a hot day... i guess as long as it is caffeinated it shouldn't really matter right? i think i deserve it! cause these babies are done! the venezia socks. or cappuccino as i call them. i used the pattern charts and just knit these up. for my second attempt at stranded color work i think they turned out great! if i had it to do over again i would probably have used a different pattern for the sole. the stripe is a little too bold for the swishiness of the instep and leg pattern. but hey. you learn. the specifics: pattern: chart from the venezia sweater by Eunny Jang yarn: sock it to me 4 ply in coffee bean and latte needles: knitpicks harmony circs size 1. socks knit as 2 magic loops simultaneously (these needles are actually growing on me) details: magic cast on 16 stitches in coffee bean, increase at edges on every row to 26 then every other row to 36 stitches. move one stitch from sole of sock(35) to inste

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
