Good bye social life, enter into workaholic mode instead.\u00a0 After I left Gryphon I had some serious time to kill since I left there on a Friday and didn\\’t start my new job until the following Wed.\u00a0 Major shift upheaval at its best.\u00a0 I went from working my nice M-F 9-5 job to working Thursday-Saturday 6pm-4pm and Sunday\\’s 5pm-1am. Which is somewhat OK for the most part since I prefer to have a consistent schedule but not having any time off of on the weekend DOES suck just a little.\u00a0 Oddly enough getting myself to stay up until at least 4am and not rolling out of bed til around 1pm, wasn\\’t that difficult.\u00a0 Granted its going to suck when I have to be awake and alert for a dental appointment at 8am on Thursday.\u00a0 I\\’m going to try & go to sleep a little earlier then the norm, get my dental work done and then go home and take a nap before work so I don\\’t screw myself up too badly sleep wise.<\/p>\n
I also seem to have developed a new compulsion: working out.\u00a0 I\\’ve never really been \\”anti-exercise\\” per say but it was never that high on my priority list either.\u00a0 Now I work out every day, even if its only a quick 20 minute routine I still do it.\u00a0 It has very little to do with my overall appearance with the exception of my biceps.\u00a0 Mostly because I have bitching tattoo work and loss of definition has made me slightly anal about it.\u00a0 I figure if I ain\\’t getting none, might as well blow off my frustration somehow right?\u00a0 I save the heavier routines for my days off simply because once the adrenaline rush wears off, I tend to crash pretty hard right in the middle of my shift.\u00a0 Not cool if its busy, which fluctuates quite a bit depending on the day.\u00a0 Which is exactly what happened on Sunday.\u00a0 I woke up @ 1:15 and had to be at work for 5pm which was the COC ass-rape-a-thon\u00a0 starring none other then yours truly.\u00a0 Having a full board usually isn\\’t a big deal for me alone but when the orders are all over the damn place that\\’s a whole other story.\u00a0 The menu is limited, but so is space, equipment and tools required to make things happen like pans…\u00a0 Which makes what would seem the simplest of tasks that much more tiresome.\u00a0 Who would have thought that making mac & cheese & grilled cheese would piss me off so much.\u00a0 Well it does, sounds simple which for the most part it is but there\\’s just SO much running around to make it happen.\u00a0 That and our fridge has no shelves which just makes things that much more complicated.<\/p>\n
Overall I like my job, less responsibility and bullshit then the last one.\u00a0 FAR more respect since the boys who are running the place aren\\’t exactly qualified quite like I am so when I talk, they listen (woo hoo!) even the exec Chef is fresh out of culinary school (class of \\’08).\u00a0 But the demographic is a lot different.\u00a0 I thought<\/span> hoped that I would get away from whiny FOH staff but oh no, such was not the case!\u00a0 So I got into it on Sunday with the girl answering the phones she\\’s like I need blah blah blah, to which I fired back I need 5mil and a pool boy but doesn\\’t mean I\\’m going to get it right away now am I.\u00a0 Put her in her place pretty fucking quick.\u00a0 Yeah I get it, I\\’m the new girl I expect *some* flack and\/or criticism\/corrections however BOH reins supreme over FOH and I ain\\’t going to take shit from a kid who isn\\’t anywhere near as qualified as I am.\u00a0 Overall aside from almost cutting a piece of my index finger off, burning my right butt cheek on a sandwich press and my stomach on the fryer, I kinda like my job.\u00a0 Wonder what D is going to say when I tell him I essentially need all my working days off for Christmas this year.\u00a0 Ticket is bought, tattoo appointment booked.\u00a0 There ain\\’t NO WAY, I\\’m NOT going home…\u00a0 Especially if I get screwed with all the crappy shifts that no one wants…\u00a0 He\\’s going to OWE me come the end of December.<\/p>\n So that\\’s about it, I\\’ve done nothing but work and exercise and I know that a thrill a minute for you all.\u00a0 Oh and well Heddy has become an anorexic\/bulimic since the arrival of Xavier, whom she hates quite a bit still.\u00a0 So she\\’s super stressed out and refuses to eat & only occasionally drinks.\u00a0 I\\’m screwed if she ends up with renal failure so I\\’ve had to force feed my poor baby with water and baby food.\u00a0 I have to be careful because if I give her too much at one time, she just throws it back up again.\u00a0 Yeah like you needed to know that…<\/p>\n In other news, Monday was a stunningly beautiful day here and there\\’s an abandoned building at the end of my street that I\\’ve been dying to investigate.\u00a0 This odd fascination I have, I know.\u00a0 I was prepared to walk down and around to the highway underpass (which I\\’ve done countless times to get up on the roof & watch the sunrise) since I didn\\’t feel like hopping the fence but to my surprise, the gate was wide open so I just walked right in SCORE!\u00a0 It was late in the afternoon though and fairly muddy so I didn\\’t really venture too far into it since it was getting dark and I didn\\’t have on proper shoes.\u00a0 I do however plan on going back tomorrow since I have Wed off before it gets too late in the day and doing some better \\”investigating\\” if you will \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Sucks that the flash on my camera is being pissy, I\\’m thinking its time to buy a new one.\u00a0 Otherwise I would have gotten far better images then I did.\u00a0 I\\’m buying a new computer first, that\\’s my up-most priority since I need a better model for school and well I just want to replace my laptop that I miss so dearly.\u00a0 Then I\\’m buying a new camera, I already know which one I want, its just a matter of obtaining it.\u00a0 Since I\\’ll be working my ass off, this shouldn\\’t be mission impossible\u00a0 come the new year.\u00a0 Got to pay off my visa bill first and I have school to think about as well.\u00a0 But CC bill takes priority overall of course.\u00a0 So Wed, I\\’m going to take care of things around here and enjoy the day off that I have and then Thursday morning at 8am, I have to have a filling replaced.\u00a0 Which I\\’m oddly happy about because every time I floss my teeth it gets stuck because its starting to come up and its not hardcore painful yet, but letting it go is NOT an option.\u00a0 Besides, silver fillings are gross in spite of the fact that amalgam fillings (the tooth colored ones) aren\\’t as strong.<\/p>\n Had a lovely leisurely day with my friend Jen this afternoon.\u00a0 She texted me on Monday saying \\”hey girly, I miss you, how are you?\\”\u00a0 meanwhile I had un-read text\\’s from two other people and I replied back to who I thought<\/em> was Jen \\” miss you too!\u00a0 We need to get together soon, I should get my schedule today\\”\u00a0 So then Mat (my \\”neighbor\\”) texts me and he\\’s like huh?\u00a0 Turns out my phone likes to text random people a little too often!\u00a0 Which only happens when I have un-read text messages waiting from others.\u00a0 \u00a0 A mutual friend of ours was supposed to join us, but I have to admit I wasn\\’t the least bit dissapointed when she bailed out.\u00a0 She\\’s nice enough of course, but I wanted Jen all to myself so we could talk, catch up and gossip \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 So we had lunch, did some shopping which I shouldn\\’t have done but you know…\u00a0 We had a ton of fun just the two of us!\u00a0 I\\’m getting too girly, its kind of crazy!\u00a0 I\\’m slowly changing some<\/em><\/span> aspects of my appearance or at the very least stepping out of my comfort zone.\u00a0 Having more liquid assets comes in handy too, can\\’t wait to my pay is more regulated! \u00a0 In the meantime, I take comfort in knowing that I\\’m helping to keep visa in business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good bye social life, enter into workaholic mode instead.\u00a0 After I left Gryphon I had some serious time to kill since I left there on
