frank, please get off of my couch. it is 11 am and i need to do laundry and read the paper and start my grown-up day >.<

tyler and i have reservations at lindey's today for our belated valentine's day date. should be fun! get to wear a pretty dress and eat delicious, expensive food. hope we don't get treated shitty, haha. we went to rigsby's a month or two back and got sat right by the door and didn't even get a real server, the host just kind of came by when he felt like it...which is sad! we're really good tippers.

i'm thinking of stretching my ears a bit. not quite sure.

i worked eight hours yesterday and it was horrible and i hated it. donald and crystal just don't ever do anything, so we ran out of waffles [!!!!] and people had to wait and ugh, it was just frustrating. i definitely wasn't prepared for it, since the first saturday i worked i got to leave at 3. and it looks like i might have to work next sunday, poop! but i did find out that i make eight dollars an hour, which is more than i made after working at mrs. g's for two years. sweet.

i started a job at a belgian waffle place in the north market. i've only worked twice, but i'm pretty excited. basically they're losing there whole staff to various things [grad school, record deal, etc...] sooo it's nice to not be alone in my newness. everyone is learning how to do stuff - even the general manager just started on monday. however, as a result of that, things are pretty scattered. that was the one thing i hate about mrs. goodman's - there was no order, and things could get really chaotic. wellll...things are that way at my new job, too. like, wednesday was my first day...and no one knew i was coming. well, the one "old" employee was just like "who are you? why are you here?" and that was it. they had nothing set up for me to do so i just kind of wandered around for a while. i worked today, and it was a little bit better. it was like a 2 hour coffee class, where i learned how to make lattes and shit. the guy who taught that class was an employee of another north market store and was a real asswipe, ugh. luckily the class was not five hours, like i was told it'd be. anyway, here's a rundown of the coworkers i've met thus far:

kristi: worked with her my first day. she's older and has 4 children. moved to cbus from maryland in october and has been unemployed since. nice, but really really white trash :/. oh well.

donny: met him on my first day. OH MY GOD. fucking homeless gay guy, lives at the y. i HATE HATE HATE him. god ass damnit. he is truly horrible. i honestly think he's retarded. he told me today that he's making up a sith name for everyone ha ha ha and what do i want my sith name to be?! he said i could pick it myself gjdhsdjfkgld. then he just tells everyone what to do despite the fact that is is fucking homeless and should be praising god that he has a job. he is really a problem and as far as i can tell, everyone [my manager included] dislikes him.

lauren: she is the old employee that i met on wednesday. she's headed to grad school in the fall but i thought she was staying until then. turns out tomorrow is her last day. sad :[. she's quiet, but funny and nice and she always laughs at all of my jokes.

zach: met him today. freshman at osu from cinci. he seems nice, he worked at the taste of belgium in cinci so he knows what's up.

maddy: actually someone i hung out with once last year - she's a friend of a girl in humanities scholars. horribly pretentious and snobby, but hopefully working with her won't be so bad. or it won't happen that often...

brendon, my manager, hired six new people. so i'm anxious to meet the others! perhaps tomorrow? i work from 10-5, ugh...but i think i get paid next tuesday! hooray.
