I work 60 hours a week to be this poor.

Almost Friday, this week has actually gone fast. I don't know if it because I worked a couple days or what. Panera was hellish on Tuesday, we were being audited the next day, and when I say audit, I don't mean money-wise. It means that everything is up to standards, clean, labelled, etc. Why, I usually work on those nights I don't know but at 11:20 I was getting pissed. I had closed my area, scrubbed the cafe floors and dusted the blinds, while everyone else was still doing their 'area'. So then the manager was like well will you mop the walk-in. I'm like what the hell?! I guess I should have moved at snail pace while closing my shit so that I wouldn't have to do other people's. After that they said I could go. Oh thanks. Yesterday I was very busy here and the day went quickly and I had to go to Panera. Tonight I plan on going to the gym and then maybe a movie if I haven't collapsed by then. Friday night I plan on doing nothing. Probably falling asleep at like 9 again. Saturday I have to work but I don't have to close. I know that most will be helping Beckie move but I won't have time to get there, sorry Beckie...Then Sunday I close.

Anna is slated to move back on February 1st. She is having fun looking at condos and houses. I don't know if she is going to buy right away but she likes looking. I remember when we did, I had fun too. Darcy got laid off, she worked for Phizer in Ann Arbor. So her plans are now to move to the Middle East to be with her new husband. He has a job there and was planning on coming back to the States but now it looks like they will be there for a while. Wierd.. Besides that I pretty much have gotten up at 5:45-6am every morning and not gotten home until like 10:45pm, so I get ready for bed and that's about it. Real exciting...

If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport!

So basically I'm avoiding work right now. There is stuff I need to do but I am procrastinating. This week is going to be long and boring. The weekend was fine, I have fallen in to habits. I go to gym 4 days a week. Friday I couldn't wait to get home, after the gym and put on my robe and eat dinner and lay on the couch. I fell asleep at 8:45, missing Monk and Psych. I woke up at like 11 and was like oh crap. But my body was so tired. We let the dogs out and I went to bed. I got 12 hours of sleep. I woke up at 9 to go to ww. Then I laid around once I got back, cleaned the bathroom etc. It was cold in the house so I laid under my covers and took a nap. It was nice, the only thing that would have been nicer is if I hadn't had to work. So I got up and went in to work. To find out that it was Lynn closing. I knew it would be a long night. We ended up finally getting out almost at 11. It is ridiculous! 2 hours to clean up? I do not understand. I went up to Outback and we sat at the bar and I had 3 drinks and some broccoli with cheese, it was delicious! Some people were going to the casino and I've never really gone so I was like let's go. We went to Greektown. I said I was only going to spend $20, but I only spent $15. I played slots. I was a little bit tipsy. I was ok enough to remember. So we didn't get home until like 5 in the morning. I was so frickin tired yesterday. I slept til noon. I had to work at 3. Again, Lynn was closing. I was on crispanis and I was doing everything, helping with bakery, cafe, then she sent the cafe person home, because she sucked so I had to close that and crispanis. I got done with my stuff and the bakery person still wasn't done, so I was helping her. I was getting a little annoyed because there was NO reason that she wasn't done. Finally at 9 I went back and Lynn came out of the office and was like 'what is going on?' I was like ya I'm pissed! I've been helping a lot! She was like ya I know, I could see on the monitor. So she said I could leave. I went home and made vegetables and watched Brothers and Sisters. Oh ya, I dropped my phone in a frickin mop bucket that someone had not emptied after they used it, my pet peeve! So it is fucked and I have to go get a new one. I just got it 2 weeks ago. That made my night worse! Well I gotta go do something I guess. Not looking forward to this week.

I almost forgot the most important news, Anna is coming home! She got transferred back to Michigan, she is SO excited. She will be working in Flint and so she wants to live within like 30 minutes of there. Her estimated return date is February 1st. That quick. They got her movers so she doesn't have to pack anything. Crazy! She would have been in Buffalo 5 years in April. I remember every visit out there, and the first time we moved her. I'm glad she is coming home but also a little sad, it was fun going to visit her and hang out and go to Anchor Bar and to Chippewa Street. And they opened the Cheesecake factory and now we won't even get to go! Haha.

Back off!! You're standing in my aura.

Your positive traits:

You are open minded enough to date outside your typical "type" ... successfully!
You are diplomatic - and likely to end a fight instead of dragging things out.
You are easily loyal and faithful, but only for the right person.

Your negative traits:

You're a bit gullible, and partners take advantage of you. You still may not know it.
You find it difficult to decide where to go to dinner, what movie to watch, who to date...
You have to be in a relationship, or else you just don't feel like yourself. (That is definately NOT me - I was in my first real relationship when I was 27!)

Your ideal partner:

A smooth talker who enjoys socializing as much as you to.
Someone classy and cultured who knows which wine to order with dinner.
Is beautiful to you - although not necessarily attractive in the traditional sense.

Your dating style:

Romantic. If your date comes bearing flowers, wine, and poetry... well, your heart soars.

Your seduction style:

Giving. Your lover's pleasure is as important as your own.
Soft and sensual - you don't like anything to be rough.
Extravagant ... your fantasy involves staying at a five star hotel with your love.

Tips for the future:

Don't be so quick to compromise in relationships - and you'll get taken advantage of yes.
Try being single for a while. Seems impossible, but you'll learn so much about yourself from doing so.
Make some decisions about your romantic life, right now. You'll be happy that you did.

Best color to attract mate: Green

Best day for a date: Wednesday

Don't worry. I forgot your name too.

I have been really busy at work. I switched to the new position and learning everything is time consuming. Plus the lady that is training me seems kind of frazzled. She stays until like 9pm on Friday nights. This is admin work, not like saving lives or anything. Nothing that can't be put off til tomorrow! My normal shift should start next week, and that will be my normal 7-4ish again. I've only been scheduled to work 1 day during the week at the P-bread but then I have to work every Saturday and Sunday and that is no fun! I like having the days off during the week though to go to the gym.
New Year's was fun like everyone has updated. I drank chocolate martinis and ate jimmy john's, wings and mexicali dip, it was delicious. I listened to Jacque say that the guy she is 'friends with benefits' with, that he looks like Taye Diggs. Um no. Anna text me that night and said 'does he?' I replied 'No'. It was funny. She also thought that I started a trend by dating a black person, I'm like well I started that trend like 6 years ago! Overall though, it was very easy to avoid people that you didn't want to talk to. I played ping pong and Mike (Beckii's) was my 'ping pong manager'. He came up with that because he thought I was really good at it. It was really funny. New Year's day I did the laying around all day also. It was nice.
This past weekend on Friday night Beckie and Jessica came over and we watched the Descent, I did not fall asleep. But then I went to bed, I was really tired. Woke up to go to ww. Then me and Jackie went to the mall and ate at Olga's. Yummy, I came home and took a nap before going to work. I frequented Waves also that night. I hadn't been out really in a long time. I got a little tipsy and we went to White Castle and my coat felt funny, I was like 'um is something wrong with my coat?' Ya, I had put it on upside down. Haha. I had been craving w.c. so much that I inhaled it. It was SO good. But like 2 hours later it wasn't so good, coming back up. My stomach hurt really bad. Then I had to work. And we had a breadbash. It was frickin ridiculous. We were trying to clean while the meeting was going on but then we miss the meeting. We didn't leave until 11pm. I was highly annoyed.

Tonight I'm going to the gym and heading home to lounge until I fall asleep. I'm tired today. Tomorrow I gotta work at both places. Yipee. Well I better get going.
