Ode to White Castle

Why oh why do I want white castle every night? When I really think about it I'm like it's not that great. But every night that I work I want to stop there. I make myself drive by. I haven't had in a few weeks though. It was the night before the girls went to Vegas and I had a double cheeseburger. My vice is #2, 2 doublecheeseburgers and some fries. Then I have to have mayo to dip my fries in with ketchup. I am hungry just thinking about it and it is only 11am. You shouldn't eat w.c. during the daylight hours! One time one of my coworkers brought it in as her 'breakfast day', but it was still dark out so that was ok. LOL. I had never even had w.c. before I moved to this side of town! Curse it! It wouldn't be so bad if i just ate like 2 hamburgers but of course I have to have it with the cheese! I think once a month should suffice but it is hard. Especially when I'm tired and didn't feel like eating anything at Panera.

So I had an 'Ed' flashback today. Apparently we are being 'watched' to see if we come in on time. First of all my job does not require me to answer phones, confer with co-workers, anything like that. Meetings are set times and they sure as hell aren't at 7 in the morning. So I got a talkin' to and I was like is my work not getting done? 'Well no but if you need something more to do let me know.' Hell yes I need more to do. So I ask for more to do today and now it has been 2 1/2 hours and nothing has been given to me. So fuck that. I will just update my blog and see if I can go over level 9 on Super Bounce Out. When the work comes in I do it right away. Nothing like feeling like you are in high school. Or like we have little snakes slithering around watching. I know exactly who the snake is too. Nice to your face, kiss ass to the boss. Me and my friend I sit next to are so bitter. We feed off each other. It probably isn't good.

I work Mon, Tues, Thur, Fri, Sat. at Panera this week. Last night I did crispani. We sold about 50 which is a lot for a Tuesday.

Update

Things have been pretty crazy in the past couple of weeks, I am hoping that all is going to calm down and we will have less drama. I haven't really wanted to write about what was going on. I am so happy that Louie was found, even if he is a lot of bones right now. We thought he was skinny before! He still is a little wobbly and Duke doesn't really understand why he can't play with him and jump on him like before.
I had a nice weekend. Friday I worked and then was really tired because Thursday night we went to Roger's Roost. Now I know why I can't go out during the week. I had a little too much to drink and only got 3 hours of sleep and had to work both jobs on Friday. I was hit on by a guy named Bubba, and his name says it all. He was a really nice guy. Friday when I got home me and Jackie went to Coney and got a chicken greek salad and fried mushrooms, it was so yummy! Then Saturday we went to East Lansing to hang out with Danielle and do some shopping. I cannot believe how long we spent shopping! It was fun though, we went to to Kohl's, the mall and Target. Probably spent too much at Kohl's but oh well. We went to Chili's and had a yummy drink and chips and cheese dip. We didn't get home until after 11 and my friends from Panera kept calling me to stop by so I was like ok I'll go over for a minute. She literally lives like 2 blocks from us. I ended up staying there until 2:30 and I didn't go to bed until 5:30 in the morning!
I was surprisingly ok yesterday, cleaned and watched basketball the whole day. Go Patriots! (George Mason) - who beat MSU, UNC, and UConn to get in to the final 4. I figure if they beat MSU then I want them to go all the way! Darren fell asleep at like 8pm and never woke back up, he is sick right now, he didn't even wake up when I left this morning. He was still in his jeans. So I went to sleep at around 11, it was so nice! I watched Grey's Anatomy, I had never seen that one, it was very sad. I cried. So overall things are balanced right now. Sleep and Louie is back.....I have to work both jobs today but it is ok. I heard they made around 100 crispanis on Saturday, crazy!!! I probably could have worked too because someone called in, like normal. 2 people have quit and 1 got fired so every time we hire people they just drop off like flies.

And by the way, who the hell would be killing all these animals? I find it very disturbing. The people caught should have the same thing happen to them.

I'm not going to lie, I am pretty sad that I can't go to Vegas. It's almost like when they went to Europe without me, but on a littler scale than that. It would be nice to get away. I've been sick for like 5 days. Today I'm feeling better. But all I have to look forward to is work. I didn't get the job at Potbelly, they told me that they were 'moving forward with another candidate because with your lack of foodservice management we can't meet you salary requirements.' That is a load of crap. I have management experience and foodservice, just not together. They couldn't take a chance on that? I have degrees and work experience and job loyalty but I guess that didn't matter. Then she almost offended me when she asked if I wanted to just be an associate there. I'm like no thanks, I already am an 'associate' somewhere for a 2nd job and I'm not driving 20-25 minutes for a part time job. She seemed surprised. So I'm a little down about things.
We had our bread bash last night and we are getting some new things, a Mango I.C. which tastes like an orange julius, a Turkey Romesco sandwich, Forrest Mushroom soup and then the Trail mix bagel is coming back. It was a long drawn out meeting that did not have to last until 10:30 but it did. I was annoyed. My friend Chris was sitting at a table by himself so I was going to go up to him and say hi. I sat down and he was crying. I was like 'ah, what is wrong?' He started crying harder! Then I felt so bad. He didn't want to talk about it and I asked if he wanted me to leave him alone, he said ya. I told his g/f (she works there too) and she was like I don't know what's wrong, she didn't know if he was mad at her. But it made me sad to see him crying.
Saturday we went to Teddy's, Kyle had broken up with his girlfriend. Again. She told him on a text message that she hopes that he dies. I'm like damn, that was mean. So he was wasted. My least favorite person came there, Lena. She makes me feel uncomfortable because I don't normally dislike many people but I dislike her. She did not try to talk to me, I was so happy. On the way home it was thundering and lightning like crazy. The dogs didn't really want to go out for the bathroom.
Sunday we watched a lot of basketball. I ran to the grocery store for a few things and forgot all means of payment. So the guy had already rung me up and then I couldn't pay. Darren had to bring it up to me, but he had to void it out and take everything out of their bags. I felt like such an idiot. I was like ya I'm sure you are going to go home and be like ya this stupid girl came in today and couldn't pay. Blah.

Oh ya and Friday we made 60 crispanis. That number is suppose to double this week and next. yipee! I didn't get out of work until 11 on Friday night.

Crispani mania

So I picked up a shift last night at Panera because I went in to check my schedule and Kay was like 'are you working? Do you want to?' Since it was a crispani shift I was like ok. So I went home and changed. One of the other people didn't show up. About 6pm I got an order, then another then another. I ended up making 30 crispanis. Now normally there are 2 people to help out because you have to take out table settings, deliver the pizza, roll the dough, top it, and when there are more than 3 coming in it takes 2 people. Our GM came back to help me. We were just rolling them out it was crazy! Radio and TV commercials came out this week. The coupons don't even go out until next week! Then I can't imagine. They are buy 1 get 1 free and just free coupons. So it will be even crazier.

I have today off so that was why I was ok with taking a shift last night. I get to watch Project Runway AND I get to see Ryan! I haven't seen Ryan in like 5 months!
Nothing else exciting is going on. I just found out that my friend of like 16 years is moving to Seattle. His b/f moved there a couple months ago so I figured it wouldn't take him long. But he has never moved away from MI, even though he had been all over the free world! It will be wierd, even though I don't see him often I know that he is still there. He already had a good job and he got a job with Microsoft. He always said he was going to marry one of the Winkler girls because he wanted to be in our family because it was so normal. It goes from marrying to having babies with one of us so that he can have kids AND have it be a Winkler child :) Some people you just stay friends with forever.
And others, you don't. I have a friend who I was in her wedding 10 months ago as the maid of honor, I have talked to her 1 time since the wedding. Now it's to the point that I couldn't really just be like 'hey what's up.' I'd have to be like 'hey, so I guess you are annoyed with me, but I'm annoyed with you too.' I just haven't felt like having that conversation.

I was a .71 on the homo/hetero scale. I thought it would be a little more.

P.S. I'm still getting bad pains in my right leg. It happened yesterday 3 times. It makes me feel weak, it makes me scared to exercise, it makes me cry! It happens only so often and there is no rhyme or reason to it. It's random. It's frustrating.

Unwanted

It was an interesting weekend. Friday night I worked and then me and Jackie went to Meijer's at like 10:30 to get food. Anna and her b/f Jim came at 2:30 in the morning. Darren and him went to Coney to get food. We ended up going to bed at like 4. Saturday we watched the Spartans lose again in basketball and then headed to 12 Oaks. 696 was closed so that was annoying. Jim is a scary driver. The going 90 mph isn't what I was scared of, it was the weaving in and out of cars. And he hates rap and loves country. Scandalous! We didn't get back until 8 and we were suppose to leave at 7 to meet Sandra and Beckii. So we ended up meeting them in Dearborn at Pizza Papalis. Jackie, me and Anna had a very strong vodka and juice on the way. I was hit by the time I got there. I had a couple Captain and diets and I was feeling good. Sandra and Beckii's 3 friends met us up there, Andy, Chris and Shawn. Andy is cute so I thought maybe him and Jackie? We went to a bar with a live band, it sucked, old people and not good songs. So we then went to Venue. Jim was shocked that it was $10 for guys to get in. $5 for women. Then we checked our coats. We immediately hit the dance floor and I didn't get off it all night except to go to the bathroom. Andy turned out to be wasted, so wasted that he couldn't really open his eyes. Jackie started dancing with some other fella and well Andy didn't really like that so he kept trying to go over there. I would pull him away and he wouldn't even notice. Chris was getting booty danced by some girl and he had a scared look on his face. He reminded me of Luke. He is only 22 and he has a g/f. The rest of the group wanted to leave about 1:30 but Jackie didn't want to go. So we kept dancing. Then the fateful drink, tequila, was given to her and she did the shot. Jim and Anna had gone to get our coats but we thought they were outside so we went out but they weren't there. The bouncer wouldn't let us back in. Jackie started getting pushy. Have you seen her pushy? I was afraid she was going to start a fight with the bouncer! Some random guy told us ya well my g/f just dumped me and left him here. I was trying to make Jackie come away from the door. Then they came out and immediately Jackie was like 'where's my phone.' Jim was like 'I gave it back to you.' She was adamant that no he did not, 'it is lost'. I'm like ok let's go and look in the car. She was convinced 'no it is not there. Nope'. So we get to the car and sure enough it was in my purse. Thank god, it was getting a little scary! So we are driving back and Jackie was trying to text Beckie but she kept saying 'it isn't working. It isn't working.' It ended up just texting 'I'. Then she goes 'I deleted her number.' I'm like what? It wasn't there anymore. It was funny. So then at some point I left message for Luke because he didn't come out with us and then Jackie wanted to leave a message so it was like 5 minutes long and that she mad at him. :) He ended up calling back. We got off at 9 mile and Jackie was rolling down the window, Jim was like do you need me to stop? 'Yes'. So we pulled over at the Mobil for her. We finally got home and Jim carried her in and put her on the couch. Then I stayed up with her until she fell asleep. She told me to call her friend to tell her she wasn't going to make it to lunch the next day. She doesn't remember that. Ugh I hate that pukey feeling of drinking too much. I was drunk too but I only had 1 drink at the last bar we went to and we danced a lot. Anna wanted food, we just ended up eating pizza from earlier. It was an interesting evening. Yesterday me, Anna, Darren and Jim went to my parents for dinner. It was yummy. Now I'm at work and I have a long day. I go from here to Panera. I don't really like those days. Ok, I hate them.

The people here took a collection for 'Ed' because it is his last day and I did not contribute. I barely have any money as it is and I didn't particularly like him. So that was on Friday but of course today someone was like 'are you going to put any $$ in?' I'm just like 'no'. I shouldn't have to explain myself and I hate that people are pressuring me, it wasn't my idea and I don't want to be part of it. Whatever.

p.s. the title of this blog has nothing to do with anything I wrote about....
