I don't know how I'm feeling right now. It's weird.

I should be in bed, but I can't sleep. I have to make dough at both stores by myself tomorrow. Marcus wanted a day to himself (he usually does one store on Sunday to help me out so I can get one day off). The sales this week truly stunk, so it shouldn't be a problem. I need to get up early to get the one store done before the opening manager gets there. I truly can't stand the guy.

I tried to tell the owner my concerns about the tasteless cheese and stuff, but he didn't seem concerned about it or else what I was trying to tell him just didn't sink in. I felt like I was talking to a brick wall. I give up. Let your sales keep slipping. I honestly don't care anymore. I made the mistake of looking up what I made in the same pay period last year as the one that just finished and discovered I made $229 more a year ago. Totally depressing reality check: I was making $400-$500 more per month then than I am now. Man, I really need to find a new job.

Marcus brought home an iBook box from work that was going to be thrown away. When I asked him why he brought it home, he told me he was going to try to sell it on eBay. I scoffed. Well, I was wrong. I guess you really can sell just about anything on eBay.

OK, time for bed.

Current mood: sleepy
I've been fighting some kind of illness. Last night I was achy and my tonsils were swollen. I pumped up the vitamin C intake and slept most of the afternoon today after I got home from work. Except for the canker sore I've got on the roof of my mouth, I feel a whole lot better. I'm going back to bed, though. I'm so dang tired.

As a big "Dukes of Hazzard" fan, I received some sad news yesterday. The balladeer, Waylon Jennings, died.

1. What was the first thing you ever cooked?
I really can't remember. Mom taught us girls how to cook at a really young age. It was probably something like spaghetti.

2. What's your signature dish?
I don't really have one. I do have a taco dip that my friends like to eat when they come over, though.

3. Ever had a cooking disaster? (tasted like crap, didn't work, etc.) Describe.
I was making an oyster cracker snack for a party. I totally forgot they were in the oven. Pretty soon my guests were coughing and the whole house filled up with burnning oil smoke. Needless to say, they were inedible. I also messed up the first cheesecake I ever tried to make. I guess I didn't bake it long enough or something. It was totally runny in the middle. Totally icky.

4. If skill and money were no object, what would make for your dream meal?
A seafood feast: lobster, crab legs, etc. I've only ever made fried shrimp and fish sticks. I'm too afraid to try anything fancier because seafood costs so darn much.

5. What are you doing this weekend?
Working. What else is new?

Got the old car back today...Another $175 down the drain. It was the fuel pump this time.

The placement chick called me from CollegeAmerica today. Sometimes she's so perky she makes me want to puke. Did she have any possible jobs? Heck no. Don't waste my time and my cell minutes if you don't have anything important to say. She went on and on about all the wonderful jobs to be had out there. If there are so many, why is the job board always empty and you haven't found me any leads? Man, what a joke. Well, I'm a tired puppy, so I'm going to bed. G'night.
