(no subject)
A friend of mine got married last night.
The wedding was lovely, and they threw a really great party. The boy made a habit (and had a lot of fun) telling everyone that this wedding was going to "give Jessica ideas" and that I'd want to get married right away.
Lately, it's seemed kind of like he's feeling me out. I'm not really sure but... I think I've been pretty clear, far before last night, that I'm ready whenever he is.
It's not necessarily that I'm in a rush, but to quote the amazing Billy Crystal from that classic film When Harry Met Sally, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
...anyway. We didn't get home last night until midnight, and as a baker I'm usually in bed around 9. I have to leave in about 20 minutes to head out for a softball game (ugh double header) and I am not ready to start my day yet.
Also, work has been kind of crap lately. I'm not happy with a new co-worker, or at least, I'm not happy with the way the dynamic has changed in the kitchen. Her and another co-worker have become extremely buddy-buddy, except all of their interactions are incredibly negative. They pretty much just shit talk all day, and not only do I have no interest in being a part of conversations like that, but I'm not *invited* to take part in conversations like that. All of a sudden I work in a very exclusionary environment and it's making me pretty unhappy. Add that on to the stress of a changing menu where all of a sudden my boss needs a bunch of new products from me in a very short amount of time, a co-worker who, while technically *my* employee, doesn't work clean or consistently (an absolute must in a kitchen) and a boss who, instead of helping me find solutions makes excuses for said co-worker... I'm just getting tired of it. Not to mention my Kitchenaid, the only mixer I have to work with, broke the other day. Hurrah for kneading a bunch of bread dough by hand!
I'll find a solution. I'll try and make it work at the current job. If I have to have a sit down with my boss, I will. If that doesn't work, I'll look for something else. Whatever. There are worse problems I could be dealing with.
So, yeah. Life in a nutshell.
Better go get ready for that softball game...
