Yo, people.
So. I'm afraid I must issue yet another complaint about working at Carmine's. Woo. So Tuesday I'm working, and for some reason, I can't seem to do a damn thing right. I forget to ask for sizes on a take-out order for grinders. I find out that we don't always have alfredo sauce on demand by telling a patron that yes, we can replace the regular sauce with alfredo on the linguini and then having to go back and tell her that, sorry, no we can't. Then!! My boyfriend and two of his friends come to visit and have a meal and at the end of their meal, I give them their soda refills in to-go cups because it was close to the end of the night, and Carmine yells at me for it, thinking it was their third glass when actually it was only their second, thanks for asking. And he gets on my case when I didn't put the bread away at the end of the night even though he NEVER TOLD ME that I was supposed to be doing that. So I called him on it, and he denied it five times before relenting. Then he said, "it's difficult to remember to tell you everything you need to know, but you have to ask. Have some initiative." And I'm like, yeah, right. Like I would come to *you* for questions. I ask your employees everything. (Not that I actually told him that). It's true though. I had asked Chris about fifteen questions that day- where does this go? Why do you do this instead of that? And so forth. And anyway, "should I put the bread away?" Isn't exactly the most obvious of questions to ask. Jesus Christ.
But whatever. I got $25 in tips that day, yey! He'd just better not fire me. I can't win with him. If I argue the points where he's wrong, he'll complain that I argue too much. Grrrr! I came back to Carmine's because I respect him and his business and the way he runs it. But this sucks.
Anyway. So what else has been going on. Today I called Jenny up randomly and was like, wanna go on an adventure? So I picked her up and first we went to Cosi's, because I was hungry and it was raining and we needed to contemplete what kind of adventure we'd have. And over food we contemplated it, and talked about career choices for Jenny and fantasized opening up a store together that sells art and beautiful things from around the world (a business which would of course include going around the world and collecting these things, lol).
Then we finally decided to make another search for the abandoned highway. Or last search was with Cross about six months ago and we were lost in the woods behind the seminary between "the path to peace" and "the path of forgiveness." Woo. So this time Jenny and I drove past the seminary and searched the paths of every caldesac of every dead-end of every street in the vicinity, and we found some abandoned trailors, but no abandoned highway. I told Jenny we should have probably picked up Brian at Borders (even though he would have probably been in the middle of a slow and agonizingly beautiful chess game from which he could not be removed, the dork) because he probably knows where it is (I apologize for the over-use of the word "probably"). And wouldn't you guess, after two and a half hours of failing to find this damn highway and getting jean-soaked and mosquito-bitten in the rain, we went back to Borders and there was Brian, playing a game of chess, saying, "of course I know where it is," and then reciting a poem he wrote about it. One that I had read, by the way, and had wondered whether he was talking about this same highway, but of course never thought to ask, because I am stupid. Not that I am bitter, at all, because it was a wonderful, marvelous adventure with Jenny! As times with Jenny always are ;) But now I am ***determined*** to find that highway. I promise, it will haunt me in my dreams until I do!!!
Speaking of dreams, I've been having the craziest-ass dreams lately. The other night, I dreamt that there was a wolf-tiger in my backyard attacking me. What on earth could *that* mean?
Let's see. Anything else interesting in my life??? Errrm... not really. I'm kind-of bored right now. So I'm gonna go now and do a little web-surfing. To find out about trading and selling global craftwork ;)
