morning. the first day of work was pretty good. i got to eat for free, they want you to try things off the menu so you can order whatever you want for free during your training days. then the preshift meeting thing. and yeah, it’s so weird to work in a REAL restaurant. mcds would always plan to do like weekly meetings to explain stuff, but if it happened once that was pretty good. preshift meetings twice a day? that actually happen?! weird haha. anyway it was amazingly busy. since i had NO CLUE what i was doing, i just stood behind the host stand for the first half and watched my trainer run everything. she was like, the head host for the night, and since it was so busy she didn’t have time to actually train me on anything. i paged ppl, and answered the phone mostly til 9. it was so busy because of soccer teams that were coming in like parties of 25 and 45 etc. 2 hour wait time and stuff. but after 9 it slowed down and i got stuff explained to me. i started seating people after 10. however thanks to them i had YMCA in my head all night. whenever it comes on all service stops so all the floor people can go dance on the stage for the customers haha. it was fun. my legs hurt cuz i haven’t stood on my feet for 8 hours since january.
so i work tuesday 10:15 – 6, so if eric waits til like 6:30 ish for me, i can still go see david usher. i work wednesday too, but i forgot what time, i think 5:15 to close again. and saturday and sunday i think i work 12-business dies (so 9 or 10pm i guess)…one sucky thing is that even tho it’s law to get a lunch break, you don’t really get one. you have the right to ask for one, since it’s law and stuff, but they don’t give you one. the girl said if you’re working the swing shift you do usually get one, because you might work for like 10-11 hours, but the normal 8 hour shift you don’t. they told me i can sneak food in the closet, so i’ll have to start bringing stuff in a lunch bag to tide me over. haha.
anyway…today…i think i might wash my car. then i dunno. i have a massive headache currently cuz i slept weird, and i’m friggen starving.
(random and completely pointless: the fragile at mtv awards mp3 that i got, and was cut off, has the intro from the show on it “ladies and gentleman, nine inch nails”…and eric was like, dude is that bono?! it hadn’t even occured to me that it would be bono introducing them, but when i listened to it again, it definitely sounds like bono. i wonder if bono and trent have ever met…hahah *dream come true*)
ahem
i seemed to have missed the trent hotness factor the first time i watched bowie’s “i’m afraid of americans” vid… holy mother…and trent carying a cross. can’t go wrong. something about sinister guys…what’s wrong with me? lol
between flipping between some hbo/movie channel and vh1, i managed to see most of The Crow: City of Angels. my god is that a bad movie. cuz it isnt the SAME movie as the first one, with different actors. it’s like they copy and pasted the script, changed words here and there, and changed the plot one tiny bit. but the movie is the same. chinese bad woman, evil drug users, innocent people dying, lots of guns shooting at mr the crow, woman knowing the man’s power is in the crow, obsession with eyes…drilling/pulling them out, getting plucked out by the bird. same “mark of the crow”, same kids running around in halloween costumes, same memory flashbacks, it’s the same. and it’s really really bad. ug. that annoys me, cuz the original was so great.
and once again, burned a cd and the one file that i never listened to, didn’t work. was just a 30 second continuous loop for 5 minutes. annoying. i gave the messed up nin one to eric, cuz he said he didn’t mind that the fragile was chopped. haha. anyway. this last one i burned is such a random assortment of crap it’s unbelievable hahaha. from george michael unplugged, to korn remixes, to billy idol. i rock!
talked to the grandparents again. and apparently they aren’t disappointed in my choice of current job. my gpa went on about how he’s glad i had fun at my first night there, etc etc etc, how i have a good attitude about it blah blah blah. i don’t get it.
and i fixed my mov problem. for some reason my movs were suddenly starting up a 32 bit quicktime program, which wouldn’t play them. they USED to open in the newer version of quicktime i had, dunno why it changed. so i uninstalled the 32 bit, which screwed it all up and the newer one wouldnt open either. so uninstalled all of the versions, reinstalled the latest hahah. and now it works. yay!
burned my last cd for today. u2 @ irving plaza. the person who bootleged the show broke up the songs so retardedly…like in the beginning of the next song, instead of during audience noise. and the 2 second gaps at the end of the mp3s were annoying, so i edited them all and i must say i did a pretty damn good job too. can’t even tell 🙂 and this show is fantastic.
kelly osbourne is tentatively going to be at big shotz on chippewa on the 13th. if so, i’m so totally there. if kelly is going to be there, sharon will have to be there hahah.
