Sun and Snow

It's such a beautiful day out. Today is 7 straight days of working, and I won't be off until Monday. Which, strangely enough is Valentines Day. I don't even have a valentine, so there is no reason for me not to be working! We had someone call and quit, thus the hours I had to pick up. Only plus side is that 1, I'll have major overtime, and 2, I was training someone the whole time, so HOPEFULLY I won't have to fill that position much longer.  I totally made that happen too. Not the someone quitting, but the training a replacement. For some reason we don't hire in from the outside our back-up cooks, therefore we need to cross train people from inside. I reviewed the list of employees, and selected one, asked him if he would be interested... he agreed. So I pretty much manipulated my way into getting the managers to agree. It does help that they trust my judgement. It's hard to tell at this point if my trainee will make it eventually back there. Right now he's a bit too anal about things, and slow, but that could come with time. I guess we'll find out!

Today I'm headed to Panera to talk to a lady about a job. My time at the Cracker Barrel is coming to a close, and I'm ready for something different. She works for State Farm Insurance, so we'll see what she's offering and go from there. I am excited though. Something different will be good.

I miss my friends. I pretty much only have Erin now. The others have gotten busy, too busy to make the effort. That is achy. But, such is life.

I think that Yoganada guy hit the nail on the head when he researched the Christ Consciousness. The idea has been coming up all around me lately. Not the term of course, that's too New Agey, but the idea is there. It's crazy how and when truths are brought to light in my world.

That's it for today. I hope life is good wherever you may be.
