I like dirty monkeys, too!
Torie has started putting little tidbits of information about herself in her subject lines and the latest one was about all the alcoholic drinks she likes (cuz you know she is a memeber of my family and we like the booz) and I just wanted to share that she made me a dirty monkey and it is an excellent drink. You can't really drink more than two in a sitting because it is very bananany but very tasty nonetheless.
So, I have discovered that the new hairdryer I bought is very similar to but not actually the same as the one that broke. But it is working out fine and I am keeping the warranty information so as not to be duped again!
In other news, I have become the new Manager In Training (MIT) at ATL. The first week was kind of rough but I am starting to get the hang of it. I have to do this for at least 6 months and then I can get a salaried manager position. The good news is that the current assistant manager is pregnant and I was told yesterday that she is not coming back from maternity leave so around December I should be getting promoted again. So, where does the conflict start you ask? Very wise of you to note that there would be a conflict because although I spend a great deal of time talking about my hairdryer and boring jobs there is always a dilemna which may still make this journal boring but you are reading it so I'm going to keep blabbering on. Do I want to continue being a manager? Should I finish my MEd and start teaching, and if so should I just try to find a teaching job now? Or should I get my certificate, move someplace cool and teach and in time go get my MFA? Or should I just stay put and get my MFA? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!! I periodically get emails from this iHirePublishing website that is like monster but for the jobs I want. Today they sent me a job at a book publishing firm in CA. I think I am going to apply for it just for the heck of it. Part of me is like whatever, i know i won't get the job, but part of me really wants to get the job. I want to work with publishing books! And then I could get my MFA at a cool school and write and publish my own books just like that other lady whose name I can't think of right now but whose lecture I went to when she came to VCU. Toni Morrison. Maybe I'm just trying to find a job in the wrong state. grrrr....life is frustrating. but at least torie makes a good dirty monkey.
