sorry for neglecting you.

really, i am.

i went from the girl who had WAY TOO MUCH free time on her hands to having absolutely none.

but my shifts have been officially cut down to two a week at the restaurant and the new whole foods store opens this coming thursday so life will hopefully get back to an acceptable pace. (i like a S L O W pace, please)

as much as i complain about having to be up early and working late at the restaurant, i like being busy.

the new job is good. this past week has been really fun. and so filling. all the salad bar folks, the deli people, the pizza makers, the donut people, the smoothie people, the pasta bar people, the gelato makers, and the nut roasters were practicing their craft in the new store before it opens. and then we got to eat it.

oh god.

it was amazing.

they will be having 16 flavors of gelato every day made fresh with stuff out of the store. yesterday they made a chocolate chipotle gelato that was AMAZING. chocolate with a kick. genius.

yesterday there wasn't much for me to do so i wandered around the store looking to be someone's helper. i found my new friend jim in the produce department. he's an older man, SO friendly. we started talking one day when he asked about my tattoos (a constant topic of conversation at this job. who did your work? didn't it hurt under there? the color is great. why the anchors? can i have megan's number?) jim is a former navy man and was interested in old school nautical tattoos.

sorry, back on track.

jim and i set up produce displays for about 4 hours. we put together strawberry boxes, we put signs out, we rearranged things and carried things and built things, and tore them down and rebuilt them. i loved it. i think after a while i might want to switch over to the produce section. i knew i could get in the place based on my customer service experience and then decide exactly where i want to be and move over or up to it.

sorry for rambling.
