I really need to get a life
For those of you who noticed, I have been updating in this thing semi-religiosuly for the past few days. That is probably because I am bored out of my mind!!! I get up early, go to work and I am done by 3:30 at the latest ever. So the nice part in the begining was that I get the afternoons off. Well now I wish that I had something to do with my afternoons. I feel so lathergic all the time. I get home from work and just sit around watching worthless television. I have done about everything possible to my dogs to give me something to do (bathed them, brushed teeth, numerous daily walks, trips to the lake, coat brushed, ears cleaned...the list goes on). I want to be doing things and going places. I wish SOMEONE was left in this God-forsaken town!
Everyone I know (and I do mean everyone) is gone right now. Whether it be for the week or for the summer. The majority of the people that I know are out of town. Leaving me with nothing to do. Looking at the clock it is 10:35 on a Friday night. I was excited earlier in the week when I looked at my work schedule and I had Saturday off. "Sweet" I thought to myself ", I can go out all night Friday." But no one is here and I am not one for going out by myself. So I am going to have to sit here in front of the computer, or maybe go downstairs and watch a few dozen episodes of COPS until 1am when I promised John I would call because I thought I was going out and would easily be up and out way past then. .. Well enough wineing for me.
I had my last day waitressing today which was bittersweet. I hadn't realized how close I had come to the once seemingly distant and close-knit group of waitresses here. They asked when I would be back "When are you coming back to us?". I have actually become a quite good waitress. I suprise even myself sometimes with how well I know the menu. I know all the abbreviations, how much every add-on and substitution costs and how to ring it up. I know what ingredients are in every omlett and panhandled skillet dish. I know all the substutions and sides. I know the whole restaurant and table numbers like the back of my hand. Now, I am not claiming to be a Carrie or a Hope or anything (servers who have worked there for 4 or 5 years), but I can most certaintly hold my own. And it seems kind of odd for me to get so good at something and just give it up to start at the bottom of the totum pole again. Oh well, Mike is an ass and I could barely take another day working for him. Good thing he hasn't been around the last few days or else I think I would be leaving on a much different note.
Well, there are now 7 days to go on the old German-O-meter. For those of you who are interested here is our itenary.
*Sunday June 12-wake up at 4am to drive up to Chicago in time to catch a 9am international flight to Montreal. Then talk about a waste of time, I spend 5 hours chilling in the Montrael airport before boarding a plane to Frankfurt. I arrive in Frankfurt at 6:30 am. And I will have to be ready to start the day--a day which for me has been going since 4am two days earlier. Damn thats going to suck. *Two days in Frankfurt then its off to Paderborn to Germanys biggest and most prestigious university to visit some good friends of mine for 3 or 4 days. Then I am taking the train to Salzburg where I will stay for a total of 3 hours before taking a 1am train to the Dalmation coast in Croatia which is sopposed to be the most beautiful beaches in the world. After that we travel back to salzburg for 5 or 6 days then it is off to Italy; Venice, Milan, Lake Como, Pisa, Florence, Rome. Flight from Rome to Athens, Greece. Travel around Greece and the Greek Islands for 7 days. then fly to Berlin for 3 days. Fly from Berlin to Edinburgh, Scottland. Then from Edinburgh to London for the night before we catch an afternoon flight back to the good old U.S. of A. on July 19. Let me know if there is anything I can bring back for anyone. Much love to all!!
