Where the parties don't stop til 8 in the mornin'

Oh, Summer Days, what a love/hate relationship. I think I've watched more TV this past week than I did all year long at school. My mind is rapidly degenerating into a giant mush ball of laziness. Pros: I'm not stressed out of my mind like usual; Cons: I'm losing my mind with boredom. I think I'll find that happy medium once I get back to work. Which by the way, if you're ever contemplating working for Sodexho Nutrition Services at St. Anthony's Central Hospital, you probably should ask yourself this question: Do I like getting screwed over? If the answer is 'no' I suggest you continue on your job hunt. Let me explain, I've been a happy employee of St. Anthony's Central Hospital Nutrition Services department since 2000, it was a great department to work for, great job, great pay, and I really loved the people at the hospital. The patients were happy with our service and I was happy to be a part of the team that provided it. It was a dream, honest. But then last summer, American greed set in and the evil corporate food service conglam-o Sodexho (i.e. satan) had to come in and run out our food service dream and take over with their big code books and crappy uniforms and profit driven ways. They stopped caring about the patient and started caring about profits. A sad tale indeed, but unfortunately true. Well anyway, I've never liked sodexho, but I still work at the hospital, but here's how they screwed me over this time. My brother and I both work at the hospital so we have the same boss and everything, well we both got back to Colorado the same time so we were going to start work about the same time, My brother got on the Schedule June 1st, I however wasn't on the schedule so I called the office to see what the deal was, and then they tell me that I never told them I was coming back (nevermind the messages I left clearly stating that I was coming back and my visit there to tell them in person I'm coming back) so they say, "oh, well, we probably can't get you on the schedule until the 18th." In the timeless words of Charlie Brown "AAARRRGGH" Oh well, I don't have any bills to pay or gas to pay for or any of those normal things that require money. Sheesh. Anyway, it's not too terrible though, I'm helping my Uncle design his living room that he's paying me for and I also got a job house sitting for someone, so that'll be good. Well that's my frustration of the week. In other news, I have high hopes for doing fun things this summer, there are a few concerts I want to catch (including Sufjan Stevens, Madeline Peyroux, and a few others), some trails I definitely want to go Hiking on, some Street fairs that are always fun, and I really want to go Kayaking this summer, so if anyone wants to come visit me and go kayaking, drop a line, because I really want to go. Well, I suppose that's about it for now, I can't say that I have any exciting stories to share now, but give it time, I'm sure they'll come...
