eventful unevents

 Life has been basically the same.

I’m working at the restaurant still.  I’m looking for a new job. I applied at the top restaurant in La Crosse, and have not been able to get a hold of the hiring manager.  That’s okay. I would be surprised if I got the job.  I have picked up applications for a couple other places I wouldn’t mind working at though, places that are only open in evenings, and one of them is closed on Sundays (yay!).  One thing I realized while I was looking for a new job, though, was why I’m looking for a new job in the first place.  I actually get really good money working here, the manager likes me and trusts me (he doesn’t trust people at all), I do a good job, and I actually enjoy it here.  So why the fuck am I leaving?  I think one reason I decided to leave was that everyone was leaving..but really, 2 of the sushi chefs left, one of which I liked, and then Tim is leaving.  I realized that was it.  I think it’s more of…Tim thinks he’s better than this place and he hates it really bad, and then because he’s leaving I feel like I should leave too..but…I really DON’T hate it.  But, I already started filling out applications, and I know that in the future, Mike isn’t exactly someone a future employer could rely on or I could rely on as a good reference.  He barely speaks English.  It might be good to have an employer who could have a good word to say about my work ethic.  I will look for a new place to work, but I will try to stay at Bamboo at the same time and divide my hours between the two.  If I like one over the other, I will switch to that one and maybe stay there.  I have realized, too, that the restaurant is going down very slowly. I know summer is a slow season, but there have been some things going on that I am not a fan of and I’d like to get out before something happens.

I’ve given up on the workout front for now.  I work at a place where I’m on my feet all the time, and I’m eating semi healthy.  I have a room to thoroughly clean — apparently there are a lot more spiders around here than I ever see because there were a few giant threads from one tv to the wall, as well as little webs elsewhere. So I cleaned up that stuff, and I have so much stuff in my car right now, I need to get it out but I have nowhere in the space I’m allotted at the house.  So I’ve been taking things out of the closet, going through drawers, trying to throw things away. I organized all my new school stuff (yay for school shopping. I don’t think I can ever give up buying school supplies in August even after school is done.  It’s just so cheap and just feels good for some reason).  Anyways, as I was saying, I have more to do at the house between the times I am at work or sleeping.  Justin is coming on Thursday, so I have to do a lot of this before he gets here, and when he’s here, the last thing I’m going to want to do is go for a run while he sits here.  At least when school DOES start, I am taking strength training for 1 credit, volleyball for 1 credit, and I’m signing up for zumba and maybe cycling at the rec.  So even though I won’t be all sexy and whatnot when Justin is here, i’ll be gettin started once school starts again.  And once school is over, I’m joining a GYM!!!

Other than that, nothing else is really going on.  I went out a couple times with friends, but not drinking nearly as much as I was before.  Which is good.  Saving me some money (not that I spend much anyways), gas, and my liver.

I’m reading 50 Shades of Grey.  I’m over halfway through, but it’s not what I thought it was going to be.  I’ve had lots of mixed reviews. A lot of vanilla friends and people reading it are giving it all the rave that it is….but then all my kinky friends have been shitting on it hardcore.  I decided I was going to make up my mind for myself and read it.  To be honest, I don’t think it’s awful, but I don’t think it’s great either.  Right now it’s just okay.  I actually can’t stand the main character.  She’s really annoying me.  The writing really is horrible.  There was one sentence that made me want to rip the page out of the book because of how run-on ish and repetitive it was.  There was also a paragraph that just didn’t make ANY sense the way the words were phrased.  BUT, on the other hand…there ARE a couple of hot scenes.  I was hoping they would be more elaborated than they are, but I suppose it’s not meant to be a COMPLETE porno.  My mom says to hang in there and just read the other 2 because they are much better.  I already own them so I might as well, but so far it’s dragging just a little bit.

That’s all for now really, I guess.  Hope you all are having a good weekend.
