lies
i have to apologize to you, dear reader. i keep saying things like...ok, i'll post about it tomorrow and i don't. the truth is that i am busy because we are short-staffed at work and i just can't get into my blog when i am housesitting.
i got all the classes i wanted so i assumed enrollment was going to be fairly stress-free. this was not the case for ryan. they switched his enrollment window without telling him and i just happened to check it twenty minutes before it opened (while he was at work). all the classes he needs have their seats reserved by the professors, only they seem to have no idea that they placed the restrictions and don't know how to enroll him.
that's not to mention that they only let us enroll online and the server goes down every thirty seconds (i am not joking!). it took ryan four hours to do half of what i had accomplished in three minutes.
that being said, i am now enrolled in pragmatism (don't ask), abnormal psych, topics in epistemology, evolutionary psych, cognition, advertising and society (which should be awesome), biological basis of behavior, topics in contemporary philosophy, and topics in moral philosophy. just the course names are giving me a headache. there...more fuel for the stalker. i'm not afraid of you.
just as a side note, since we have been staying on lovely riverside drive i have seen a frog, a coyote, a hawk and a heron. they only live ten minutes away from us and they get all the cool critters.
work has been weird! there are secret staff meetings and then counter secret staff meetings, none of which i have been involved in thankfully. we lost a really good waitress and they can't replace her. so far, they tried hiring two other girls who both quit after one shift. that just means more people are doubling and that makes for one cranky staff. at least i feel like i have a handle on the job again (eventhough i still can't open a wine bottle).
and in closing, i thought i would mention the absolutely bizzare weather we are having. i was working out on the patio last night and the sky just went black. the wind was awesome and we had to move everyone inside because their salads we flying all over the place. thunderstorms and downpours. but come on, tornadoes in the gta? seems a little out of place to me. not to mention that there was a tornado just south of midland where our cottage is. i hope our little place is ok. i wonder how often google updates their satellite imaging.

I am so happy that you got all of the courses that you wanted! Woo Hoo!
On the other hand, poor Ryan! What an insane situation. I think I would of lost it if it were me.
And as an avid reader of spinning plates, I accept your apology.
P.S. I had my first staff meeting at work this afternoon and I would much prefer not to have been invited.
don't tell anyone, but i don't understand half of it either ha ha.
ryan is still having major problems and no one is emailing him back - still.
i have only been to one staff meeting ever and i really did not care for it. they made sure that everyone got a scolding for something and of course you have everyone there watching. not very nice. sorry you had to go through with that.
