It must be time to blog again. I am writing to you not from my normal place but from California. Im down here for about a month gonna house sitting for dad while he goes to hawaii to see carol and uncle alan. I left about a week ago and headed to OR to see the Bartons and my old friends from Bend area. We stayed in bend for a day and a half then stayed with the bartons for about 5 days. We went to the river a couple times and then went to the lake with some friends yesterday and had a total blast. May I take this moment to point out that little sister stephanie managed to get a worse sunburn than I did. I know most of you are thinking that it wasnt possible but it is and it did happen. Lol. Lets see, before I came down to Cali I quit my job at wheat montana and it was quite literally the happiest day of my life to date. Im hoping that marrige or proposal will top that but at the moment, its the top of the list. I started working for Dad about 2 weeks ago doing Repo stuff online for him. Its kinda cool cause i just hook into his computer server at the office and work from where ever i happen to be. Kirstyn and I just moved 9 miles down the road to belgrade into a really cute triplex. and now as it turns out, mom is moving like 8 blocks away or something like that! how sweet is that, now i dont have to call mom to talk to her, i can just go next door and borrow a cup of sugar or w/e lol.
its time for bed now so ill catch y'all later
Since I am no longer moving every 3-5 months its not really about my moving escapades any more. Now its all about staying in one place ( I know its a crazy concept but it just may work!)

Finally!!!
Ok, so I gave my two weeks notice about a week and a half ago and told them that the 2 weeks would be a week and a half instead :) that means that I only have one day (or should I say night) left at that horrible place!!!!! The last few days have been rather interesting and I must say it was rather hard not to get a big head about it all. One of the big wigs found out the real reasons I was quitting-- not just that I was bored-- and suddenly wanted to talk. (This was on wednesday) After talking to Paul for about 25 minutes, wherin I told him EVERYTHING that was leading to my sudden quitage. Not all of it was pleasant, for that matter very little of it was but he said he wanted to know it all even the bad so I sure gave it :) He agreed to quite a few of my points that I was concerned about- mainly lack of pay and training. Then yesterday morning (thursday) Steve (another big wig but not quite as big) wanted to talk. So I went and told him all the exact same stuff and he was very understanding about my concerns and whatnot. Between Paul and Steve (smaller big wig) I was getting some very interesting offers. They both told me that I was a valuable employee to them and the company and that they didnt want to see me go, they were going to FINALLY give me a raise as well as the raise for the crew leader position that I began about 2 months ago so all in all that would have been a fairly healthy chunk. I told them I wasnt wanting to work nights anymore so they said, "Well then, we can move you to day shift with no loss in pay and if you decide that you dont like that position then we can move you around til you find something you like." I must say that I was very tempted by all the offers but in the end I still said no due to gut feelings that it was time for me to leave that job.
You know as they say- When one door closes, another door opens- in this case, I was talking to Dad about doing some online work for him and it sounds like I might have a potential job there and so I dont have to worry about job hunting although I think I will try to find at least a part time day job just so im not cooped up in the house ALL the time and get a little extra $$ for car payments and w/e. Well, Im gonna go find some shoes for my dress on sunday

blah de blah
Well its been 3 weeks since the last post that didnt really say anything at all. In that 3 weeks, i have worked, not slept so much, and played a bit. We went to Parma last weekend, it was so nice to be at convention again after a year. It was a really nice one but i suppose all conventions really are. Kirstyn and I are planning on moving around the first of august (any guys wanna come help...?) about 9 miles down the road to Belgrade.
I am in the process of quitting and lookin for another job and as I probably shouldnt do i think im going to be quitting before getting the next job. im tired of being burned and yelled at for my lack of training. I talked to my supervisor about my leaving and he tried to get me to just switch shifts or something but i dont think i want to work there any more regardless. Im trying to get into a new field but i dont know what field but i dont know what. any one got ideas for me? So as i type this i should be packing for Devon convention but im clearly not. Hmm, i really cant seem to think of anything else of importance so i guess i will go shower, pack and sleep then work then go to Devon!!

I havent been in the mood to blog this last week, and to be honest I'm still not. So until further notice I dont believe I will be posting anything unless something totally drastic happens that I cant resist posting but since all I do is work and sleep (although it seems to be more work than sleep lately) I really doubt that that will happen.
Ta for now

Supervisors
I have decided that there isnt much more annoying than a supervisor who doesnt actually know what they are doing so they decide to go "by the book" on everything instead. Case in point, we have a supervisor named Jodi that is more than just sorta incompetent in almost everything she touches. She keeps coming over to the ovens with calipers and measuring the dough and then running to Jason to say "oh she cant cook that dough, its way to big its never going to work" The biggest problem with this is that we have made some adjustments to the way we do things and never got around to actually writing them down so the paper she is going by is rather out dated but theres no way you can tell her that. The other day she actually stole one of my racks of dough and wouldnt let me bake it cause it was "too big" funny thing, i baked the rest of that type at the same height and it turned out fine so in the end all she had to show for all her measuring was some wasted dough that wasnt even my fault. :P
Not much else is new since last post. My burn is healing up amazingly well. It hardly hurts anymore and is itching enough to drive me crazy so i take that as a good sign that its healing and all that. I should definiatly get a scar from that one... at least I better. I figure if Im going to go through that much pain I should at least have something to show for it. :)

My last post was about a week ago i think. Since then there has only really been one new detail in my life and its not even a different new detail. Yes ladies and gents, I got burned again. The one main difference this time is that instead of just blistering the skin like all of the other ones that I have gotten to date it actually took the skin off and gave me a second degree burn that hurts like the dickens. (Now I dont really know what the dickens feels like but im sure it must hurt a lot) I dont think I have ever cried at work but I sure just about did that time. But not until after I punched a metal door trying to get rid of some of the pain... it didnt work at all. So I pretty much just tried to ignore the burn but when i got off work thursday morning it was definiatly infected so i ended up going to urgent care to get it cleaned and taken care of and work is even paying for it... I think. Im going to be starting a different work schedule in about 3 weeks. Instead of having 2 shifts of 10 hours they are going to have 3 shifts 8 hours each. So I believe I will be working what they call 2nd shift which is from approx 1:30am-9am still in the ovens dept. I have to learn how to make the buns and dinner rolls and stuff now in addition to bread. yippee what a fun life i have. Um, I think thats pretty much all the new (ish) news from me
Oh ya, im tired

Nuthin
I have nothing really to blog about so I will just say that in the last 2 weeks there have been 5 new burns on my arms from the ovens, one puncture wound from a bread pan (dont laugh, it really can and did happen) and a seriously bruised elbow from getting it slammed into a metal post rather hard. Sleep deprivation is kicking in now so im going to end this and go back to sleep before i pass out with my computer on my lap.
thank you that is all
you may now go on to regret the time you have spent reading this blog in the hopes that something new and exciting had happened.
I typed all of this with my eyes closed and there arent even that many typos... or are there?
ok, bye
