Almost Week in Review

Since I have been the uber busy this week with new work and the holiday I haven't been posting as much as I would have liked to even though a ridiculous amount of things have been having. To sum up, See list below:

1) Sunday: Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving at Tom Boland's was spectacular. Both deep-fried and smoked turkey (yeah I didn't know you could do that either). The morning was spent cooking and socializing with John Cunha: awesome. The evening was spent with the headache of doom which lead to a migraine, vomit, and an 8:30 bed time: not awesome.

2) Monday: First day a work. The people there are all relatively young (late 20s to mid 30s) and really cool, with one exception. Bill. Who happens to be the president and founder of the company. I think it may seriously be retarded. Seriously. But only slightly. I don't know how be owns a business, it is seriously mind boggling. There's also Carol (his wife) who really most of the work, more or less runs the business and seems sweet, but kinda anal and mom-like. Everyone was very nice though, and really accommodating.

3) Tuesday: It snowed. No. Really. FUCKING SNOW!! On the plus side, I learned more things at work, Carol was really cool about me asking her questions and getting clarification on work order procedures and the specifics of the job we can and can not do. Played with Zoe, Carol's 11 year old West Highland terrier who comes to work everyday. And I got the "how things really work around here when Carola and Bill aren't in" from Greg (who's my favorite) and the other employees.

4) Wednesday: since it was the day before Thanksgiving, Bill and Carol took the day off work to head up to there other house and start cooling. So, how do things really work?? Well, in the afternoon, around 2:30, Greg and Baja (yeah like the desert) left work and went over to the local wine and spirits store. It then became White Russian Wednesday. As it turns out, all of my co-workers (all 6 of 'um) are all really cynical people with a completely inappropriate sense of off-color workplace humor who are also kind of alcoholics. Did i mention Greg was a bartender? Did i mention I fucking love my job?

5) Thursday: Slept so late, 'till like 10!!! Showered, got pretty, grabbed at Pecan Pie from the place down the street and headed for the border. And by that I mean New Hampshire and Jared's Uncle Drew and his partner Russell's new house. Ate for 6 or so hours. Came home. Slipped into the best food induced coma I've had in quite some time.

6) Today: Slept late. Again. Sweet! Didn't really do anytime. I mean went through the motions: making coffee, breakfast, wandered around JP center. But more or less, took a much needed no make-up, no hair-do, no real pants kinda mental health day.

For the future? Same things for tomorrow, with the additional of some much needed apartment cleaning and laundry. Sunday, Mom is coming up to meet the kitties and have bunch. I know she needs it, and it'll be good for her to get away from it all, even if it's just for a few hours. She stayed down in Plymouth and had Thanksgiving with Peter at the re-hab hospital, which is way fucking depressing in and off itself. With the holidays coming, Peter (unfortunately) has started to become really depressed and I'm worried about my mom's own mental health status. He's starting to become really paranoid too, not wanting my mom to drive at night or on the highway if possible. Sign. I've coping ok, and have some mental bullet points laid out in my head so that we can have a serious talk and I can make sure she's ok.

Longest post ever. Anyways, hope all had a good Turkey day and I hope to see you all soon....

I missed SNOW?!? Damnit!

At any rate, your job sounds AWESOME. The best kind of wednesday is a white russian wednesday, no?

Glad your holidays were spectacular, and I hope your mom and Peter are doing well.
