Buddies

Today I learned:
How to "program" the headsets at work. We have four headsets and three channels that they run off of. This means that two of them are "buddies," and you can hear them on each other. THe point of having buddy headsets is so that a person new to taking orders can hear a experienced person take an order, or so that a more experienced employee cann butt in and save you if you don't know what's going on. We never use them that way, so usually the buddy just ends up being an extra that somebody might use every once in a while if the other person's hands are busy and they can't take the order. Anyway two of the headsets have stopped working recently and the two left were buddies, so we could essentially only take one order at a time. I called the help desk and learned how to assign different channels to the different headsets so that the two working ones would be on different channels and buddy-ed the two broken ones. It made me feel so smart! No one else was impressed. That's all.

Boggle

Yesterday I learned that:
I really enjoy playing Boggle. I know that the only reason I won was because John can't spell and Sean was out of practice, but it still was fun. Sean and I spent the snow storm of Saturday at John and Jayne's house, eating and playing games. Today we are resting up for a long week of work and school. Five weeks 'til Sean graduates! And now it's time to make fun of my brother.

Yesterday John learned that:
Galley is not spelled "galy" and sheath is not spelled "sheeth." I mean, really, John, when was the last time you read Treasure Island?

Happy Hour and forgetting what I learned

Today I learned...
something, but I already forgot what it was. Somebody at work said something and I said, "What does that mean?" and then she told me and said, "You learn something new every day, and that's what you learned for today." But so much for that.
Today was my first day as a manager working happy hour. Fortunately it was very slow and I was able to send two people home and still have really good times. Then after work I spent the evening with my mom, whom I have not seen in a while. My mom is the best mom ever. I thought I would just put that out there on the internet in case there was any doubt. She helped me wash my dishes, some of which were moldy because I had forgotten to rinse them out.
I don't think I'll have time to read or write at all the rest of this week, until maybe Saturday. Tomorrow we are having guests for dinner and then Friday I think we are going to Norman for dinner with Sean's dad because his mom is out of town. I had no idea Spring Break was going to be so busy! But that just means only six more weeks until Sean graduates from college (cue Pomp and Circumstance).
I think that now I will go to sleep. It has been a long and full day. I am just sad that I did not have time to go to house church and see my sister :(

Friday.

Today I learned that:
the top of the steamer is REALLY HOT. I learned this with a yelp and a burned finger. I hope that coney was worth it.

In other news, I had a really good day at work today, and I look forward to a great afternoon and evening and I can't wait for Spring Break to start! I'm still working five days next week, but I'm getting my hours cut back so that I can have some fun. It's going to be great.

Spring Break 2010

The ides of March are fast approaching as are the warm winds of Spring! Spring Break is next week at OC and Sean and I have some great plans of taking off work and spending time with family and friends!

Time continues to pass and my life continues to go on. It is full and tiring, but nothing of note to pass on or remember. Right now I am pretty tired and sleepy because I didn't get very much sleep last night and work was very dramatic.
In the literary world, writing is pretty much non-existent, but I am slowly plowing through the classic French novel, Les Miserables.

Today I learned:
I don't know. But it was good, I'm sure, whatever it was.

my weekend

This weekend I learned:
a little bit more about the roller derby. went to see the okc "red dirt rebellion" skate against...some other team. then went home and watched the movie "Whip it."

Today I learned:
one should really double check which end of the seasoned salt one is opening so that one doesn't dump a ton of salt on the meat and then have to end up eating it cause one doesn't want it to go to waste and having to drink a gallon of water to wash it down.

In other news:
life is pretty good. had a relaxing weekend, went to work and practiced being a manager, came home and made dinner and watched the dishes, and now I'm going to read my book because I can!
