I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sure did down in Chicago with Justin and everyone else in my family. We came back around 9:30 or so and spent time with his parents as well. It was a good day. Good food, good people, good drinks. You can't really ask for anything better.

I got a new job as a freelance writer for an online news website. It's pretty exciting and decent money, which means I can quit the Bistro and have Christmas with my family instead of watching everyone else have Christmas at the Bistro with their families. Just because the owners don't celebrate Christmas doesn't mean the rest of us don't have to. I don't understand the logic at that place most of the time. Oh well. I'm just excited to start building a better resume with experience. I'll probably end up doing something in journalism instead of advertising once I get my degree, which is still a million years away because Whitewater is unbending to my needs.

Enjoy this, because I sure do (it's ZELDA!!!):

=D

Well, I got myself a freelance writing job. Go me! I applied for an advertising position I can do from home so hopefully I get that. Or something. Yay freelance writing!

Also, make sure you vote for Zombie TV for the Mashable Awards.

Friday!

Well, it was a relatively good night and fantastic morning.

I got my hair cut last night and I learned how to do stuff with it. Let's hope I can remember how to do these things.

I had an interview yesterday with a martinizing place. I'm not too interested in working alone for four hours. I feel safer in a store when I'm working with someone. I've been applying for jobs nonstop since Sunday when I left the Jug. I don't miss that place one bit.

Its going to be a nice day relaxing until the Bistro tonight. I also have to make time the next few days to do the 'online article' assignment for the internship because I really want it.

Just wanted you to know...

I really really enjoyed this:

Events of Note.

Well first off, I quit Loaf and Jug on Sunday. REGS had me give him my key on Saturday that I used for opening. When I asked why I don't open anymore, he told me, while laughing, that I don't do my job. Well, I'm sorry that I open by myself and that the prep list was 8,931 pages long, while only having 2 hours to complete this. Not to mention, there are two girls that open Sundays (that's right, two of them) who have no prep list because I did everything the day before. Remember, the guy that told me I don't do my job is the same guy that sits at a table for the entire time Loaf and Jug is open, cutting out recipes from magazines and bossing everyone else around. Excuse me, are your hands broken? Can you not do the simple tasks that you are asking us to do?

Which brings me to my next noteworthy event: job hunting! I've been doing so since Sunday, and I think I'm making some headway. It doesn't matter that only about 1/8 of the jobs I've applied to have gotten back to me, it just matters that I've had some response. For instance, M&I finally wants to interview. I'm not sure how many time I've applied to this place before. There are some other places I have to go and apply to in person, like a sushi bar in Brookfield. They're looking for a host. What a coincidence, because that is exactly what I do at the Bistro! I may or may not also be interested in bartending jobs in restaurants. What I'm really hoping for is an internship with Commercial Fine Arts and/or a job in my field. It would be so awesome to have an advertising job.

Well, I suppose that's it for now. Fun news stuff:
Meteor shower.
Ireland is almost bankrupt?!
But I love Chinese food!
Harry Potter is dead. I feel this is a bit disrespectful.
Weight loss tips.
Centuries-old murder case!

Also, I absolutely love this video. It reminds me of what I have now <3

Ugh

I went to Kwik Trip this morning for my regular banana/coffee combination, and I discovered they are hiring. It would sadly be the most I've ever made at any job anywhere, if I applied and got the job. Which I would like to do, except it will make Justin feel like I don't like spending time with him. Or something. Well I'm sorry that I would like to do something better financially for myself. Especially if my parents are serious about making me pay for the one class I need to take next fall because Whitewater won't help me graduate in May.

Weekend Recap.

Well, not much happened this weekend, except I worked and whatnot. I lost my Fridays at the Jug, so it was a nice morning off. Yesterday, the boss's son's fiancee, Meg, came in to work. She was there no longer than ten minutes before I decided I hated her. Some old ladies came through the line and said something along the lines of, "It's a wonderful day out!" and I responded with "Yea, and I'm inside all day, har har." Promptly after that, I was talking to Meaghan about our (the weekend crew's) lost hours and Meg chimes in with, "Well, it's because you guys don't do your job. And Meaghan, you're nothing but rude to customers. And Kaylan, you didn't need to make that snide remark to those ladies." I was like, "Um, do I know you?" I wasn't talking to her, so there was no need for her to get involved. And she was really bitchy about it. I later yelled at her for ten minutes to mind her own business. Meanwhile, REGS and Paula were sitting at a table all day talking about hours. I wanted to go over and ask them if they wanted to do any work. If this is the result of us not doing our jobs the way he wanted, he should have told us at the meeting that either we do our jobs or we will experience a loss of hours, not just go ahead and do it without telling us.

That was probably the most exciting thing that happened all weekend, sadly. I Bistroed it all weekend too, but nothing very exciting happened there, except the consumption of delicious food. Which I will be consuming between classes today, in case you were wondering at all about it. And after the Bistro last night, I took a 2 hour nap because Justin and his family decided they had to watch the Packer game. Football is something I am most not interested in, so I opted for a nap instead. It was wonderful.

I heard on the radio this morning that they have found a way to transform skin cells in to blood cells. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware the field of medicine was actually Jesus. And they are finding ways to kill viruses, too. The medical field may have just made the jump from Jesus to God.

I found an open parking spot before class, so now I'm sitting here til 12:30 waiting for my next class. Oh well. Now I get to listen to the new Maroon 5 cd. Which, may I add, is really good so far.

Weekend

Well, the first major development from this weekend is that I am most likely going to quit Loaf and Jug. Why, you may ask? Basically, a couple people are coming back that have been MIA for months and months and they are taking our hours. Yes, those of us who have been opening on weekends and keeping it going. We no longer open and I'm losing my Fridays. I'm coming in at 10 on Saturdays and Sundays. We did all this, and this is how we get thanked? By getting our hours cut for someone who comes in and works 3 1/2 hour shifts? Fridays I usually work 9-3 and this person is coming in and working 10-1:30. Tell me how this makes any sense at all. Whatever. If it stays like this after the schedules that are already up, I'm confronting the boss and most likely quitting if he gives me the same answer he gave Ryan. Ryan worked one day a weekend because he had cross country. Now it's over and he's still working one day, and very pointless shifts. For example, 8-11 Is that even a shift? I'm not sure what's going on at that place, but it better stop.

I am, however, enjoying my time at the Bistro. Everyone there is so nice. The only downside is that I want asian food all the time. Like today, I really really want to stop there on my way home and get some tempura. I can't because I need to start watching my weight though. I'm gaining weight again and it's really discouraging me. This time last year, I was sitting at 140. I'm probably 20 pounds more than that now. Ugh.

The girl in front of me on my way here could not drive. The truck in front of her was going faster. Then we got to campus and she must have seen someone walk to their car because she sat herself in the middle of the aisle while I was driving around the lot trying to find a dumb spot. She must have been sitting there for 5 minutes before I pulled into a meter spot because I no longer give a shit. The parking here is stupid, but I'm not sure who I whine to about it. She was causing traffic problems. What a dumb idiot.

I was also informed I cannot take the last two classes I need to graduate at the same time since I clearly knew that one was a pre req for the other. Yes, I was well aware of this. If my GPA had been high enough last semester when I registered, I would have taken it this semester, you b holes. I've had so many problems with this school. I would never ever recommend it to anyone.

I need these shoes.

Also something fun and educational at the same time.
