I am back from my hiatus and EMPLOYED in a deli with awesome people as I wait to hear back about my graduate school applications! I was surprised by how fun working at a deli could be.
It probably helps that I have Eastern European co-workers who understand my jokes and can speak ex-YU languages. Plus, everybody has a pretty good attitude when it comes to working. Grumpy elder customers are hilarious to deal with, mostly because they ask the most absurd questions and have the best euphemisms for cuss words.
Aww brownies! One guy asked my co-worker which foods wouldn't give him diarrhea. Who asks that?
The only downside to working in a deli is that you start craving all of the foods in the display case and salad bars after smelling their deliciousness all day long.
Unfortunately, my main laptop is acting up so I have reverted to my 9-year-old 2i junk laptop. (It is really sad when your 1-year-old 7i laptop runs slower than your 9-year-old 2i.) It seems to me that there may be an issue with the hardware. A lot of people (myself included) with Windows 8 on their laptops have complained about the Disk going to 99% for absolutely no 'good' reason when programs like Skype are being used. (Thanks, stupid Windows 8.) If hardware is not the only issue, then there may be some adware? Everything on the laptop runs normally until I connect to the wifi. Then it starts lagging and making everything scroll downward. I will have to find time to bring it somewhere since nothing I have tried on my own has successfully solved the problem.
I have off tomorrow, so expect a massive art dump of
Sailor Moon stuff.
