But at least I can now function. Right, so the last post was on Tuesday, and everything seemed to happen on Wednesday. First of all I pretty much lost my voice - yes, Lindsay had sexy sickness voice - and then we all had a house meeting. We cleared up some basic cleaning issues (like leaving a dirty pan in the sink for 3 days till someone got tired of looking at it, or needed it) and that we didn't want the new boyfriend in the apartment after 2 am. BOOOOOM!!!! No really. It started out ok, really. We were calm and handled it like adults. Then the irrational "lets raise our voice" part came into play, followed by the lets get out of control, then Lindsay (with here broken, squeeky voice no less) told the girl (I'm not naming anyone in this post) to calm down in a rather loud voice. Yes I yelled and she went postal. By the end of the night everything was cleared up, he won't be staying here past 2am, and the girl really doesn't talk to us anymore. Nothing new there I'm afraid.
Thursday I had class, which is starting to become a much loved class by the way, and we did some basic analysis to see what our strengths and weaknesses are. Apparently my strengths are boldness (go figure) and self-renewal. Now self-renewal doesn't mean what you all think. It actually means that when there's a problem I'll exhaust all ways I can think of to solve it, and if all else fails will turn around and either ask for help or read up on the subject. Not bad. Plus we're doing mock interviews next week where our teacher will show us how we can name those traits in an interview for a leadership position. By the way Dad, you were right. This is probably the best possible class for me to take.
Friday was the Pirate and Princess Party, and as always I enjoyed it. It's kind of hard not too. You always see the kids dressed up in the costumes (the parents get into it too and let me tell you, that can be interesting to say the least), and there are less people so it stays relatively calm after 8-8:30-ish. Not to mention the better music. No really, I love Hello Dolly! the Music Man, and Oklahoma, but when you here the score to their more mozy-dozy songs continuously for hours on end, they start to get annoying. So songs you can sing to are a rather enjoyable reprieve. We also found a dead cockroach in one of the incoming strollers. We don't know how it got there (no one screamed, so I think the kids in the stroller didn't even notice), but it was on its back and in perfect condition. So we being who we are in the back, picked it up and laid it on a towel to show everyone later. That didn't happen. Jonas (our closing manager that night) walked back saw it and proceeded to crush it with the a dust pan. What was more entertaining was the grossed out, manic look on his face. It made me think of several girls I know, but that's besides the point. After that I pointed out that it was already dead and he told the room at large that that just made it all the easier. We laughed so hard, stacking seemed to be a little more fun the rest of the night.
And last night, I got stuck stacking strollers from 8 o'clock on. Man did I get a work out. The reason I say that is because that's when all the strollers come back - right after the parade and fireworks- so I was stacking as quickly as possible and getting said stacks out of the way. But nothing else spectacular I'm afraid.
And with that I bid you all a fond fair-well for I need to finish my coffee, then hop in the shower because I have work at 4.
Bye-bye.
