I'm not even going to TRY to actually catch up since I last posted, since I last posted in 2009 and, frankly, even I don't remember everything that happened during that time period ( Read more... )

Sorry it's been so long! I can't even say that much hasn't happened. I mean, much HASN'T happened, but it hasn't happened in that wonderfully narcississtic lj-post way that I have no excuse for ( Read more... )

Well, 2008 was interesting. I pushed a lot of personal boundaries and tested my patience more than I thought I could stand sometimes ( Read more... )

By the end of today, I'll have worked 33 days straight. Woo! I'll be through 46 by the time I'm on the plane to Tampa. Not as impressive as my mom, but I'll make it this far, at least ( Read more... )

In the past couple of days I have looked at, applied for, and been approved for an apartment in West Seattle. YAY! Justin and I will have a home up here! I'm so excited! :D The landlord is super awesome, the building is really nice (the hallways are really clean) and the price is pretty decent. Yay yay yay! I'm giving him a shit ton of money on ( Read more... )

Well, I just worked my first four days at Next to Nature. It was pretty nice. My feet are MURDERING me, however. Sitting on one's ass for ten months and then suddenly trying to work 29 hours in four days = not so good on one's feet. But I survived! :D The bussing isn't bad. It sucks when I have to wait for a long time, but that's mainly because ( Read more... )

So tomorrow will be my first day of work at Next to Nature. I'm excited! It's quite an easy bus trip, and everyone who works there seems so nice! I told them about the Pacific Science Center job and they're totally okay with it, which is awesome. So tomorrow, I'm working 11-6, Saturday is 12-7, Sunday is 10-5:15, and Monday is 10-6. I've got ( Read more... )

I'm out! I'm home and I'm full of cake and I never have to go back there again! I'm free I'm free I'm freeeeee!

I've noticed that an array of my food is gone and I haven't, actually, been the one respsonsible for eating it.  The majority of my garlic oil? Eaten. My Jasmine and Basmati rices? Eaten. Now, I know I ate at least half of the Jasmine... But the Basmati? I used it, like, twice. And now there's less than a serving left. From a three-pound bag. ( Read more... )

Well, I met my replacement--a beautiful 18 year-old Somalian girl who has been in America since she was in middle school. She's going to school for nursing so she might be better suited to this job than I am.

I still feel so, so bad for her. Cynthia told her that by October she'll be taking care of her own bathroom matters. October will be a year ( Read more... )
