Ed McCaffrey is on WB2 news right now. *sigh*

Sorry about the lack of posting yesterday. Marcus has got me working on a project with him and I'll post more about that when we're finished. More bad news on the work front. The stupid owner is trying to get school lunch accounts set up with the surrounding districts. He's starting with Adams 20. Oh, boy. I definately need to find other work before that happens. I went through that at the South Aurora store with the Cherry Creek lunch account. Lots of work and not worth the money. I really have a problem with schools contracting out their lunches, anyway. Kids need better food than Taco Bell, Chick-Fil-A and Blackjack pizza. I also have a problem with teachers who can't teach bribing their students with promises of pizza on a certain day. You can always tell when it's the end of the quarter/school year because the school orders come piling in. Of course, it doesn't help that the owner offers schools a discount. I once talked to a student while I was waiting for the teacher to come pay that five different teachers he had that day were ordering pizza.

Dang, I slept from like 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Yay for me. I had my alarm set to go off at 5, but I must've turned it off. I'm so not looking forward to making dough today as it took up my whole stupid day yesterday. I'm hoping that since it was so busy on Halloween that this Friday would not be as busy. Of course, nothing ever happens as I expect or want. With my luck, they probably had the busiest Friday night ever. Oh, well. I need a shower before I get going. GET MOVING, DONNA!

Current mood: drained
I'm so tired. I made 23 batches of dough today and prepped veggies at both stores between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. On top of that, the manager at one of the stores didn't have the ventillation set right and it was hotter than H*** in there. I was getting really lethargic and it was taking forever to get anything done, it seemed. That particular store also has a concrete floor and my feet hurt bad. Whine, whine, whine. I guess the owner is finally getting one the one manager about the filthy condition of the store. It's about time. I mentioned that it would be nice if the dough on the wall since March would go away.

Why are some people so clueless and rude? I was making sauce. I know a lot of the drivers have never seen me because this was the first time I was there that late, but I had cans on the table ready to open while I was adding the spices and this one driver hangs his coat on the can opener. Hello. I informed him that I was still using it and he gets indignant that he has to move his coat.

Like the Christmas countdown I added? Cool, huh?

I saw the most beautiful moon as I was driving home. It was almost full and was so huge and orange as it came up over the eastern horizon. I wish I could've gotten a picture of it. I need to start carrying a camera with me. Oh, well.

I think I'm going to call this day a wash, go to bed and get some rest. I need to clean the carpets tomorrow and do laundry. Whoohoo!

Happy November!

Of course, it doesn't feel like November. It was almost 70° F outside today. I'm going to work on changing the template for Thanksgiving this evening, if I can stay awake. Even though I got almost 11 hours of sleep last night, I'm drained. I want to stay up for Friends, Survivor and CSI tonight, but I may end up having to tape them. We'll see how I feel after I eat some dinner. All I've had to eat today is some Chex Mix on the drive home from school. I was going to get some lunch before school, but the stores were really busy because of Halloween--more than I thought they would be. I didn't even have time to get done with the dough before I had to leave for class. I guess I'll be catching up tomorrow. Yippee.

School didn't go well today. Our instructor knows just enough about Linux to get himself in trouble, I think. Enough to pass certificaitons, but not enough to easily solve problems caused by silly students. We're trying to get our computers to serve multiple web pages with apache. Since a lot of the students can't type worth crap, most of the problems we're having are spelling errors (wrong capitalization, incorrect IP addresses, wrong paths, etc.). I spent most of the day playing with the design my little sites. Nothing else to do. Oh, well.

Just had to send my dogs outside as a diversion for a stray dog that was antagonizing a bunny from the field. Poor thing. I think the bunny thought I was sending my dogs after him, too. Luckily my dogs didn't even see it. I wish people wouldn't let their dogs run free.
