Jenobi's World

Hello old friend. It has been quite the little journey I have been on in the past month. Many changes have occurred and many more may change in the future. Work has had quite a grip on my life lately and I have had little time for anything else. It will take a stronger hold in the next month as the Chef quite and I am taking on his roll. This means loads of work for me and no days off until everything settles down. Before that we have to survive the busiest time of the year---Gay Pride Weekend. It should be the busiest time of the year and I am not looking forward to it. I hope to negotiate a better wage for myself, being in charge. Considering the lack of organization, it should be a breeze, with my Mahoney's experience behind me. There will be many changes to the procedures in the kitchen to make it run efficiently and make everyone's life smoother. I also hope to change the order guide a bit to make this little pub not such of a prep nightmare... I have been working so much,...

Sorry I haven't much to say lately... Sunny says make me want to go outside and I have no laptop to Blog on outside of my house... Wait til a rainy day....

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...
