Time slipping away

I'm not very good at remembering to write here but I am into turning over new leafs so I'm going to try to be more faithful.

Dowd and Guild has been going well. I've now learned how to say "Good morning, Dowd and Guild, this is Joy." Hopefully after I say that they introduce themselves and then I know who to transfer them to. When people call and ask like they are my best friend and don't tell me their name I get really frustrated but today I decided that no matter how embarrassing it may be I am always going to ask who it is, because that is my job.
On Thursday something very dramatic happened. It was Rachel's birthday so someone brought this caramel dip thing and apples, some people didn't realize it was the equivalent of a birthday cake and started eating it. When we went to get it to surprise Rachel, there was a big wedge missing. Gale used the apple slices to fill in the gap. Crises averted.
Friday, yesterday and today I was supposed to work from 8-5 to get a feel for a full day. I went in at 9 instead of 8 because the girl I am working with, Christie, said that nothing happens before 8. I wasn't disappointed that I got to sleep an hour later. Today I started this excel project around 3:30 for Guild, of Dowd and Guild. It was nowhere near finished at 5 so he asked if I could stay and finish it. I think on your 4th day of work when you're about to take a week's vacation and the head guy asks you to stay and finish, you stay and finish. I was there until 6:30. On the way home I found out my sister and cousins were eating fro yo so I met them.

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the restaurant job but last night I stayed up late and finished the sandwich part. Now onto soups, 5 vegetarian and 5 non. I don't like soup.

This weekend I went to Davis, (and to Evan's show in San Francisco). I like Davis. On Sunday I went to Elk Grove (or as I like to call it, Fair Oaks) for my college roommate's faux wedding. I didn't really know what to expect of a faux wedding but was pleasantly surprised.

Tomorrow I am leaving to go to San Diego for the real wedding, I'll be back on Monday. I need to pack now. I'm not unpacked from this weekend yet. I can't imagine how crazy my life would be if my mom didn't do my laundry for me.
