tacos, omelets and burgers - oh my!

So I've decided... my job is real easy. I can go to work still half asleep and be in automatic mode all day. For breakfast, you make breakfast tacos and omelets and for lunch - burgers. Easy! Since I've gotten this job, I've been thinking of getting another one as well so save up faster in order to return to school.

Today, I was thinking that since I'm on vacation in Austin, this is actually my vacation job for the next few years. This is good because there's no dinner rush, no chefs yelling, no wrong orders from the waitstaff, no thinking and nothing you'd find in a restaurant setting. It's kinda nice... boring but nice. No nights, no weekends, no holidays.

I think that since I'm on 'vacation' I'm just going to take it easy with one job. One job and enjoy all the time off to ride my bike and catch up on sleep. Hey! I've been catching up and get about 7 hours of sleep a night now... wow... well, sometimes even more! The bike and I have really been missing all the backroads and possible rides throughout Texas as with the biker rallies. So, here's to taking it easy and keeping the shiny side up!

And in 2 years time, I'll return to school and the hectic restaurant world - that might possibly include the seasonal trail again... that sounds good. Goals... you just gotta have 'em!

wow

That was kinda freaky. Joking about vegaline and butter one day and the very next day someone in one of the administration offices had a heart attack. Everyone and their brother responded - the sheriff, fire and EMS. They had a difficult time trying to revive her but she's alive. Still in the hospital recovering.

vegalene

Unbelievable! I'd never heard of it until I went to the South Pole. Vegalene... a non-trans fat oil that we used as a spray to prevent food sticking to the pans when we cook. Come to find out guess who else uses this? Yup, my current job. I couldn't help myself to laughing completely out loud when I saw the cans in dry storage. And I thought I'd be rid of it for the rest of my life - or at least until I decide to return to Pole. I wonder how good that stuff is for you. I can imagine someone keeling over dead from consuming this product daily.

Of course, there's the fake butter next to the vegalene... how tasty is that?!

squareville

Ok, so in the past 6 weeks or so I've decided to become a squareville participant. Well, I guess I had been entertaining that thought for some time but finally took action when I moved here to Austin. Squareville... so now I have a job. Not too unusual hours 5-2. The good thing is that I skip rush hour going to and returning from work and I have time to play in the afternoon while it is still light out. The bad? Well, now I'm going to work at the time I have been going to bed... and getting off work around the time I usually wake up. It'll take some getting used to.

So... this is Squareville. I had planned on settling here in Austin for a couple years. I mean, this would be my permanent home but I think in about 2 years, I'd like to move away for a couple years then return. Kinda have that itch to move on now but I have some plans and if all goes well in 2 years I'll be moving. Seems so far away! We'll see how long I can take being a square! It might be sooner than that, it that moving itch becomes unbearable. I think at most I'll give it a year. This time next year. Hmmm, that might not be too bad but you never know.
