Stayed at the Terrorist's house last night.
Since Nate's been around this week I haven't seen him much and I missed him, so I bribed my coworkers into letting me leave early, since it was his last kid free night.* 
Got up early, brought him to work, went and picked up my laundry and came to the laundromat.  When I first got here it was silent.  It was so weird.  I've never been to a silent laundromat.  Even if there are no people in it there are at least washers or dryers going.  (I say I've never been to a silent laundromat but I know that's not true because I used to go to this 24-hour one in South Portland that was empty at times... but RECENTLY I haven't been to a silent laundromat... especially not during the daytime.)
Since Nathan's gone that's my official notice to get off my ass and start looking for a new job.  Which I learned yesterday kind of freaks the T out.  (Because I'm playing the role of babysitter to Little T while Big T is workin')  I guess I can't really blame him because if the situation were reversed I'd probably be freaking out as well.  I have a master plan though.**  Lesley is talking about quitting the Caldera before she goes to Singapore so maybe I can just slip in there.  They don't open until 5p  Shifts generally start at 4p and it's a block from the T's house.  Sound perfect to me.  If it doesn't work that's okay, I'll find something that does.  I'm a patient person.***
I start kid sitting on Monday, which means today and this weekend I'm going to clean my apartment and make it more kid friendly, not that we're going to be there often but if we happen to stop by I don't want anymore "Watch me wax your Pole" moments or anything of the like.  I also need to clean out my car.  That'll be tomorrow.  It's getting really disgusting.  There have been a variety of beverages spilled in it and... it's just fucking gross.  This is my kick in the pants to get it done.

My laundry is done, I've gotta go fold it and do productive things.

*Okay so I didn't really bribe them, all I really did was ask if they minded... but "bribed" sounds so much more dramatic.
**We're not going to mention how my last mater plan failed miserably.  I'm glad I didn't end up in Toronto madly in love, I don't think that would have made me happy, well, it could of but now that I'm were I am in my life I don't still wish for it.  Things happen or don't happen for a reason, my original master plan failed for a reason.  Something better is in my cards.  It's like that god song by Garth Brooks... What's it called... Unanswered Prayers.   Anyway, this minor master plan is going to work out awesome, I just need to get all the details ironed out.
***Anyone who knows me knows that that is a total and complete crock-of-shit but I'm also a master of denial.  Which makes anything possible.  :-)

I ended last nights post fairly quickly because Lesley got home and I got distracted so.... I don't know.  I just thought it was a bit abrupt.

Secondly.  I did laundry today.  Yay!  Go me.  And I slept in way late too.  Not so yay.  But at least I got the laundry done!  And I cleaned out my car while in the process! 

I go to a laundromat on Belmont and today I realized that they have 3 or so clocks in there and NOT ONE of them tells the correct time.  Weird.

Also, from the time I got quarters to the time I was finished folding.  1hr and 15mins!  How awesome is that?!?!

Hmmm there was something more poignant I was going to throw in here but I completely forgot what it was so instead... you get this...

Ps.  Happy Mom's day to all the moms.

Disclaimer:  It's 2 hours and 24 minutes into 2008.  And I'm blogging.  Why am I blogging?  Because I'm at work!  And since I'm stuck here tonight I decided to get stoned.  (Shhh don't tell.)  But yeah... I've got some more stoned blogging going on.

I don't know why I put disclaimer's in?  But I kind of enjoy doing it.  That one was kind of weak though. 

Anyway... moving on. 

Tonight, was by far the worst night EVER since I've been at the Olive Garden.  Our ticket times were averaging about 45mins.  45 MINUTES!!!  From the point when we put the order in to the point when it comes out is 45mins long.  That's absurd!!  And that was the average.  There were some that were up in the 60min range.  I have no idea how it happened.  The kitchen got so backed up at one point that we had to stop seating for a bit to let them try and catch-up.  It worked for a second or two but then ticket times when WAY back up.  We couldn't turn tables at all because the tables we had were waiting an hour for there food and they were WAITING AN HOUR for there food so they were understandably grumpy.  I didn't get out of there until 1045p.  I was supposed start working at Pro.Com. at 10p.  I knew I was going to be a little late so I told them that.  I made it into work at 1130p  but not before slamming my hand in the car door.  It hurt.  A lot.  But my hand isn't bruised.  I don't know why though.  I slammed it hard enough to leave a door framed shaped dent in my hand, that dent has been replaced with a good sized bump and no bruise.  I think I'm defective.  I don't bruise properly. I'd be the perfect battered wife.  Push me around all you wan't and there wont be a mark on me.

Anyway... I can't say that 2007 ended on an extremely great note.  But that was just the last few moments.  They don't really count for much anyway.

I worked with Xavier again the other night.  He's so beautiful.  And I love his name.  Granted this is a name that I gave him but I think that that is just a minor detail.  His real name is pretty cool too but not as cool as Xavier!  He has to be dating a hostess.  Blech.  Oh well. 

HOLY FUCK.  I just looked at the calender and aside form it being 2008 (wow, time flew) I also realized that if I sleep when I'm planning that's in 2 and a half weeks!!  Fuck that's soon!  I'm getting nervous.  Well, I've been nervous.  But I'm getting even more nervous.  Katie's freakin' out on me because she doesn't want me to make the trip alone (she's worried I'm gonna end up dead at the hands of a deranged trucker..  And because she thinks I should take the southern route.  Which I can't say I disagree with but I'm going to be smart about it.  Thanks to tonight at the OG (even though I didn't make as much as I should have) I made enough to hit my $2000 goal!  Woot woot!  I'm very excited.  I wanted to call the mechanic and set up an appointment to have him put my car on the computer and talk to him about what I should do to my car but I couldn't find the phone number online and I couldn't get a hold of my mum to get the number before I went to work.  I'll get that done hopefully by Wednesday.

Shit.  The night is basically over.  I don't know when that happened but I need to go.  Jesus... what have I been doing with my time?!  I started this blog 4 hours ago.  Damn.  Okay well I need to go attempt to clean out my car.
