Jenobi's World

My head hurts.....I stayed up too late drinking beer. The sun came up too fast ... the sky lighting up at 3:30am..... Well I guess the rest of the days after today will be shorter every day. Take advantage of it while it lasts......

Tonight is Game 7 with the Edmonton Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes. Canada is finally in reach of the cup to bring it home where it belongs. If there was any team that deserves it, it is Edmonton. The team has the least amount of money, was in the lower half of the western conference standings for most of the season, and have no really big superstars on the team. Although they knocked out my Canucks, I have been cheering them on since. I cheer for most Canadian teams (not all, ahem) because of the hard time they have staying above water in the American market. GOOD LUCK OILERS!!!!!! Canada is cheering for you! ______________________________________________________________ Gosh I hope Ididn't jinx it! Sorry Edmonton, you had a great run!

crush Function: noun 1 : an act of crushing 2 : the quantity of material crushed 3 a : a crowding together (as of peo ple) b : CROWD, MOB; especially : a crowd of people pressing against one another 4 : an intense and usually passing infatuation ; also : the object of infatuation Experiencing a crush has interesting effects on your life. It's amazing how easily one can fall into a crush. Is it called a crush because that is the feeling when the recipient of the crush (or victim) reject any advances? I find it incredible that this phantom infatuation can be so powerful at times, no matter whether you are a giggly little teen or a grown woman. It is like a tractor beam pulling your millennium falcon towards the death star; like the strongest vortex vacuum dragging you into its rotator heads---you'll be a shredded mess once you pass through the nozzle. I can't explain how this even happened in the first place. It did happen almost a year ago, and hasn't really stopped. H...

As I was chatting with my chat -pals on the eagle cam chat site, one of them pointed out an interesting live cam from Africa . You can move the camera left and right and see all of the animals that visit a watering hole in Botswana. Monkeys, birds etc visit for a refreshing drink. Check it out. Other sites are the loon site from Alaska and the stork nest from Germany . Fantastic sound and video of their new borns. Work is great and we have hired two new people. World Cup has not affected us in the least but the NHL hockey finals are pretty busy. Not much else to say and no pics at all as I am no very creative on this day. Sorry.....

Man I slept too long today. I went to bed pretty late though. The side effects of working night shifts. Anyways, I woke up this afternoon (LOL) and the sun was trying to peak out from the cloud overcast. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Things are looking a bit more up at work, although for my new Chef, probably not. He hasn't had a day off in forever, and I know how he feels. At my previous job I was in charge and did 25 days in a row but some of those were much longer shifts, and definitely much busier. Well, the bar manager spoke to me and said that there has to be some way to get him a day off. His mood is getting more desperate and he is snapping a lot. I looked over the schedule and found a day on Tuesday I could do for him. A DAY SHIFT! I left him a note and hopefully he will accept the suggestion, and he can leave me a list of stuff I need to do. The only real worry I have is the World Cup Football matches happening at 9am (France vs Switzerland) and 12pm (Bra...

Okay...I'm starting to get frustrated with this cat. It is now a regular event.....I leave newspaper down all the time and he just poos there....in the hallway...why? It's driving me STINKING CRAZY! I just caught him trying to do it in the hallway. So I picked him up and put him near his box and he did it in there. Then when he was done I praised him. I hope that helps......

Woke up this morning to the cold and I thought it was supposed to be sunny all week. Vancouverites are so used to this. After the last two days of beautiful sunshine and warmth, this cold dark day is not what I wanted. I thought it was dissappointing, waking up to this drab weather. I had to put the heat on again! I am so cold...Brrrrr....Summer is having a hard time getting started and it makes me want to crawl back under the covers and go back to sleep. As I am writing this blog, while watching the eaglets on the eagle cam from Saanich, a commotion happened outside my window. This usually means an eagle is around. Just as I looked up past my monitor, an eagle flew by with seagulls and crows in tow. Vancouver is so fantastic that way. You don't even have to leave your apartment to see the wildlife around you. At dusk, bats fly by catching all the little bugs in the air, it's amazing. Well, not much else to say other than I'M FREEZING! I want summer back.

Where the hell have I been? Why have I deserted this little snippet of the world wide web? Well, I have a life and sometimes, blogging just gets in the way. It is my day off and I got up early to have time to do many things, including updating this damn space which I promised to update daily........or not. Since I last blogged many things have happened. Let's begin with work. Well, the Chef, who hired me, was let go, which put me in quite a weird dilemma. If you do remember, the Sous Chef was driving me crazy, with his abnormal obsession with cleanliness and unhappiness. He gave his notice and was pretty content w ith his decision. Unfortunately, the Chef decided that coming in to work was optional, and he was let go. Many reasons for the firing but the Sous Chef was asked to stay as the Chef and I r eally began to think about leaving. Funny thing is, he became the nicest guy in the whole world after the work shuffle. Before he had nothing to say to me and now he and I are li...
