This is too weird. The Oprah show today is was called "Headline Follow-ups," where she looks back at major stories such as OJ, Columbine, the anthrax scare, etc. She interviewed the parents of Chandra Levy about their daughter's disappearance over a year ago. A few hours later, Chandra's body was found in a Washington D.C. park. Spooky.

Current mood: frustrated
Work was a total disaster today.

First, the floors are being redone at one of the stores. The subfloor was totally rotten and the owner made the landlord replace the floor as a condition to sign a new lease. I made dough until I ran out of trays on Sunday as I knew I wouldn't be able to make dough at that store until today. The contractors were supposed to do the back half of the store first and then the front and the manager was told it would take three, that's THREE (Sun, Mon, & Tues) nights to complete the job. Well, I checked in yesterday and I knew there was no way they'd be totally finished last night, but the new subfloor was done in the back and I figured they were going to lay the tile that evening and the back would be finished. HA! I guess they decided to screw everyone, they knew best, and they decided to fix the subfloor for the entire store first and tile all at once. The whole store is a disaster area. The stupid owner should've closed while all of this is going on as there is sawdust everywhere (the new extra pizza ingredient) and the place is an utter mess. I could only make 8 of the 16 batches I was supposed to make because the manager didn't order flour. I had to scrub my flour bucket because the contractors were using it as their trash can. I was majorly allergic to something the contractors are using, so I was having a major attack (totally sucked!). Then the stupid corporate jerk shows up and tries to do his store inspection. HELLO--you're not going to be able to do an accurate assessment of how the store is being run when the whole place looks like a tornado hit. Dumbass. I was waiting for him to mention the fact that I still wasn't in uniform (like he did the last time he came in) so that I could really go off on him, but maybe the angry look in my eyes make him think twice. I was also told the health inspector showed up yesterday for the store's annual inspection and she refused to reschedule. That's too funny!

The other store has got huge amounts of school orders this week since the school year is almost done and teachers that can't teach have to bribe kids to behave with promises of pizza. Makes for a whole lot of extra dough to do for not very much money, as schools get a discount. The store with the subfloor problem doesn't get as many school orders because that store's manager ran most of them off with his crappy attitude and poor service.

The sucky part: it's not going to be any better tomorrow.

OK, I've done it!!!

While there are still bugs to work out, my blog is now located HERE. Please update your bookmarks and links, yada, yada, yada.

Man, I haven't done one of these in a few weeks---



1) Are you forever young?
I look it, but I sure don't feel it. People never believe that I'm as old as I am, but the aches and pains give me away.

2) Are you like a virgin?
Not even.

3) Are you looking for a new love, baby?
Nope, perfectly happy with the one I've got.

4) Are you in control?
I'm totally out of control. It's been so long since I have had control, I don't even remember what it feels like.

5) Have you ever been where the streets have no name?
Yes, delivering pizzas to new subdivisions with no street signs. Very confusing.

6) Do you have a touch of grey?
Just a little. I've had a few grey hairs since high school. My sister used to think it was funny to pull them out when I wasn't paying attention.

7) When was the last time you celebrated good times?
I honestly can't remember.

8) Are you wild an' willin' or is it just for show?
None of the above.

I'm off to see Star Wars with Mike and Nina. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie. Yay!!!
