you order chinese food, you come pick it up!

Well, I've definitely felt the push to blog more often. Unfortunately folks, I'M REALLY BUSY. So, in the last blog I mentioned that I was starting a new job at a Cafe, well those people are STUPID and it never worked out. I trained for 4 days like a month ago and then they kept putting off my "start date" until she finally called and told me that they didn't need me. Now I have to get some courage to confront them on paying me for those training days (its at least 24 hours worth)... blast! But the great news is that I already got another job, thanks to some excellent connections (thank you Anne Capp), at Wild Oats Market. For those of you Californians that have never heard of this place, it is very Trader Joe's-esc but HUGE. (there actually is one in Pasadena and 2 in Santa Monica)
I'm going to be working directly with the Food Services Manager learning purchasing, ordering, inventory control, training, scheduling, etc etc. They've essentially created a job for this internship of mine. I hope to be there 18-24 hours a week at S-Buck's 24 hours a week and in school approx 22 hours a week and then study/homework time. Yes, I know how many hours that is... hence the busy-bee mentality. despite being busy I'm really pleased with how things are turning out. and yes, I do get to sleep. :)
I'm continually battling with my car- it's been broken into twice in the last couple of months, overheated, gradually losing all capabilities of cooling me down with the A/C, replaced pressure cap on the coolant thingy, urged to replace other things and said "NO FREAKING WAY". poor saturn.
I love my ipod, blockbuster online is awesome, my garden is flourishing, its cool in the basement I live in, my house-mate is nicer than expected, I'm cooking some amazing food at school, i've lost a some pounds *despite the great food*, i drink far too much coffee (and proud of it) and last but not least i got a lovely message from a chinese food place reminding me to pick up my cheesy wantons. HA!
