The end of an era
In a few hours, the hotel I work at will be using a windows based program for our daily operations. We’ve been using this Dos program up until now. ( who even knows what that means anymore!?) So for the past 5 years, 3 months, and 20 days I’ve been using this program, and it’s over. I’ve had nightmares of typing the key strokes over and over for checking someone in after a...

(more Skatalites playing in my background!)
haven’t been on here in a while-pretty much since school ended! I’ve been working like crazy, and lately I’ve been working my brain like crazy to figure out how I can start my own business… but I need a liquor license and customers with money. :) or maybe we can start a bakery/artist venue. :) i DO love cupcakes and other...

fat asses
Man, we are a fat ass city. Joe & I were waiting for the redline at 5:10, and we have to wait for a 2nd train b/c there’s no way anyone waiting on the platform is going to get on the train. I know it’s winter (so we’re all bundled up…, and it’s rush hour so of course it’s more jammed than normal, but there are service cuts coming in a couple weeks, and...

My apologies
for the neglect of my tumblr. :( sorry!! So, to make up for it, here’s a quick rambling. then a track upload. then maybe a random picture or something… hmmm
Today I went on an interview at an apartment leasing agency and I got the job! I’m going for a ‘test-drive’ Saturday, but I’m basically hired!! :D YAYYYY!!! maybe I will get out of debt by my graduation...
weather
it’s snowing out. it’s cold out.
SURPRISE!!!!!! it’s winter.
why are we cancelling all kinds of stuff? maybe people should just drive better, and cities should plow a little earlier. This is Chicago. This is winter. we are used to this. we expect this. so what’s the problem?
i just shoveled my front porch/steps/walkway/sidewalk & a couple neighbor’s sidewalks...

perfection...
Perfectionist I guess I thought I wasn’t one anymore, but really I just haven’t thought about it in a while. I’m still here, still putting projects off because I feel like I won’t be able to do it well enough, lookng away, past everyone during critiques because I feel like everything I bring is so lame compared to everyone and it upsets me. My computer skills (or lack of them truly) are holding...

Swoboda says the masked man waved a machete...

Degrassi... real life?!
I really like this show. It’s on Teen Nick I believe… I think it’s a much more realistic view of high school and life of people in that age range than any other shows I know of about high-school age kids. It gets into the real subjects that everyone else is afraid to really dive into, like drugs, drinking, sex, relationships, violence, and family for starters. These things are hitting kids these...
