just when i think i'm over you
so i've been back in the US for a month now.
just when i think i've re-settled and that i'm over salzburg, i got an e-mail from andrea that had all of her pictures from the trip. and now i LOOOONG to be back there :(
i really miss that place. yeah, i had some hard times there, and i got really frustrated with a lot of things. but man, my social life over there was amazing. there was always something to do, always somewhere to go, and always someone to hang out with.
it seems that since i've been back, all i've done is work. yeah, the money is great, and i love where i work (sometimes). but man, i really miss the comraderie of this summer. i loved how every night, we'd all go get some food somewhere -- even if it was just up the street at fred's. if we had a hard week at rehearsals, we'd go to o'malley's friday happy hour... hell we'd drink in the middle of the week just for a change of pace.
i really miss all the amazing friends i had while i was there. yeah, i have really awesome friends here, but when you're in close contact with a group of people for that length of time, they really grow on you. i wish i could bottle up all the great times i had in salzburg and pull it out for a whiff or two when i get all down and lonely like this.
in other news, the panera drama continues. i've really gotten my foot in the door with this new management team, though, and one of them is training to be our new district manager. dan-o we call him. he loves me already, and half the time, if he has a question about how to do something, he asks me. that means a lot that even though i'm a lowly shift supervisor, if he needs help, he asks me. and it makes me look really good to him, because 90% of the time, i have the answer right off the top of my head, and the other 10% of the time, i'm able to help him find the answer in a short time. i really think sticking around there is going to pay off for me in the long run.
OH! i cut off all of my hair! i'm back to having short hair again. it's depressing to run my fingers through my hair only to realize that i don't have any anymore. but my haircut looks really great, and i'm excited about it.
well, i'll talk to you guys later. comment comment comment!
