Did I ever mention that when the servant becomes hungry she gets
very, very irritable? Well it’s true, today was one of those days where I woke
up, did some chores with some 2 plus cups of coffee and just now it being 2:45 pm,
just sat down for some leftovers. I don’t know what it is but whenever I have
much to do with only caffeine coursing in my veins, every bad thought seems to
resurface. Bad moments from college, negative people, bad drivers, name it and
I’ll probably being thinking it. Only making my low blood sugar worse. Poor
Jeff has to deal with me during these episodes. I promise his life has been
spared, for the meantime. But seriously, the drivers in downtown Raleigh and
heck even in our apartment complex kill me. Where in the hell do you get off
driving in the wrong lane of traffic and then look at other drivers as though
they are in the wrong? Son of a b***h.
Sorry for the negativity but heck, it’s just been one of
those days. I have a glass of wine now, I’ll be fine.
I do have some good news. I got a job. I real job with
benefits and a salary. Hurray!!! It’s true when they say that playing the game of
job hunting is a grueling journey which requires much patience. I will be working
with the sales team with a wine distributing company in Raleigh. I am familiar
with this company from Asheville, back when I worked waiting tables in the mountains.
It’s not an RD job but still it wouldn’t hurt for them to have one on staff.
I should be starting sometime on Tuesday. Let’s hope this
all goes well. For once it will be a real job. A part of me will miss working in
the restaurant business. Sure the hours and time on our feet are one of the
grueling parts but usually the times I treasured were spent with staff after
hours at late night establishments.
Those are where all the memories and conversations hold dear to my
heart. It also doesn’t hurt that I learned a bit about the field of culinary as
well as the soul draining acts of customer service. For any high school or college aged student I
would highly recommend working as a server, hostess, bartender or cook at some
point in your life. If anything you learn a lot about people as well as tricks to
make them happy. Which is usually a discount.
I really should be talking about food at this point in time
yet I have no recent pictures this week. But I do need to boast about last night’s
dinner prepared by Jeff. We have been bad about consuming numerous meat
products so therefore, a vegetarian dish was created. Picture this, a portabella
mushroom stuffed with diced red pepper, onions, quinoa and tofu. Not bad babe,
not bad.
My Dad comes in tomorrow for a visit. Do I want to cook for
tomorrow? Perhaps I’ll let P.Diddy decide on that one. Knowing him grilling
will be the better option.
