Yes, yes… I know I haven’t been posting regularly. Mea culpa.

Anyway, today was an interesting day for two reasons:

1) We were supposed to have a new person start today, and they did… for all of an hour. She was meant to be the new salesperson, drumming up business for us. Unfortunately, she thought she was going to have more traditional secretarial duties, like chewing gum and Facebooking (M’s way of putting it; in her own words: “filing and other administrative tasks”). She literally broke out in hives as my boss was telling her what the plan was. Yikes. I mean, it’s an easy job, and if you’re going to be a secretary, it doesn’t hurt to learn how to deal with people on the phone! My Mom would have a thing or two to say about this girl. She should know: she won Best Secretary in Latin America back in the day.

2) I went shopping for groceries; more specifically, ingredients. I plan to learn myself how to cook. So I bought rice, spaghetti, flour, chicken and beef broth, salt, pepper, basil, dill, saffron, butter, salmon, shrimp, green onions, parsley, carrots, garlic, onions, red and yellow peppers, tomatoes (heirloom and on-the-vine), and lemon juice. Oh, and pattypan squash, which I tried for the first time at M’s barbecue. I had chicken, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar at home, so that goes into the mix too. We’ll see what happens. I’m thinking of trying something tomorrow. Still need to find the right recipe, though.

shopping, flakiness, cooking, work
