It is the new year again. It always surprises me that the years go so fast, yet so slow. Well I am another year older and closer to retirement. Although in my case retirement will literally mean RETIRE A MOMENT IF AT ALL. I will probably have to work at least part time until I die. Wyo sis, I am glad you finally found my blog. I did not know if you would like the fruit or not. I love pears, but DH doesn't. I am glad that they got there and that I guessed right. I myself love to get nice yummy edibible things for gifts. I never have to worry about where to put them. I have already started out the new year with a mess up. I didn't go to work until 11:00 because that was when my schedule said I was supposed to. Imagine my surprise when I got there and all the help was eating lunch and there were no students in the cafeteria because We don't open until tomorrow and I was supposed to come in at 7:00 a. m. at the latest! OPPS! All we were doing was cleaning ICKKY! I got to clean the grills, but at least I wasn't stuck with the ovens WHEW! That is all we have been doing for the last 2 weeks. Since I work till close already I get my fill of kitchen cleaning. CRAP! I hit a wrong key somewhere and lost the rest of what had typed. (This is the third time I am telling this) My special part time person quite today. I am really not surprised since he is one of those people that thinks he knows everything, has no patience, or work ethic or sense. He wants to be paid a lot, run his own business and not have to work up because he already knows it all NOT! That leaves me as the only cook for dinner, since flip flop lady will be out for at least three more weeks. Conrad the chef said When I am there I work and get it done. but he has no one to work for me when I have a day off. I guess I am doing a good job after all :-). anyway this is my entry for today. The first one was the best but I got tired after three tries.
