I snagged the above tag but think it represents my feeling toward J-Land.  I've met so many wonderful people who have become such great friends.  I'm so thankful that I started this journal.

My birthday alarm went off again.  Today is David's Sunshine Colorado Notes birthday....lol...at least I'm saying it is but have been known to be off a day or two.  Stop by his journal and wish him a happy one.  David has some of the most interesting entries and Milo, his dog, definitely didn't get kicked out doggie camp.

American Idol...yes, I did watch it again.  Elliott sang one of my all time favorite songs, What you Do for Love by Bobby Caldwell.  I'm a huge R&B and blues fan.  I may be the only one out there but I love Elliott's R&B/bluesy voice.  Can't even begin to get through on the phone on any lines.  Katharine...oh well...I would like to see the two boys next week.

My sinus infection is slowly easing....very slowly.  I haven't had to take my prescription sinus medication since Sunday, which is pretty much a record.  I did have to take one this afternoon, as the vice grip was starting again. I try to limit the sinus medication as it wreaks havoc on my blood pressue.  Four other people at work were off the same time I was with sinus infections.  JMO...I work in one of those "sick" buildings.

Still no word on the job.  The final person was interviewed last Wed.  I'm beginning to think that they don't want any of the three of us.  Such is life.  Definitely very odd.

Megan began actually serving last Friday night.  She caught on very quickly because she is totally familiar with the place.  She work six hours on Sunday and got $74 in tips; not too shabby for a beginner.  My BF, Joey and I went Friday night to eat there.  That was her first night.  She had two tables and served for about 3 hours and made $35 in tips.  They say she will make more when she works the busier hours.  I think we may have tohave a talk about saving at least half of the tips since the hourly wage is very low.

And, of course, the rain is continuing and I have no idea when it's supposed to stop.  Last I heard, Saturday, maybe.  It's also gotten chillier...in the 40's.  It had been in the 60's up until today.

Not much else is going on around here.  I get to stay up tonight since I'm off tomorrow...yeah.  Have a good one everybody!!!!!

love the tags, I have met some of the most wonderful people too her in J-land.  I didn't watch AI tonight, no Chris so I didn't watch. I think Kat should have gone home.  I do hope Elliott wins it all since Chris can't. Sounds like Megan is already doing good at work. Nothing like going there and making her nervous, LOL. I'm sure she did a great job.

Cute tag & sweet words. I thought Elliott did a great job on Journey's Open Arms. But I'm still cheering for Taylor.

I guess it's a hurry up & wait deal on the job thingy.

HI Chris!

Good for Megan!!!!  I loved being a waitress when I was young.  I made pretty good tips too.  My granddaughter taught me what BFF stood far.....after I had asked her a dozen times. She'd say BFF, and I'd say Whats that? Think she got a little frustrated with me after awhile! LOL

Can I be the one in purple? I'd love to look like that!  :)  Good luck on the job, I'm still waiting too!  Oooohhh!  Why do they take so long to make a decision!!!!

Hugs!

I still have my ear filled with fluid and my head feels like it has concrete in it.    I hope your sinus infection is going away.     I am hoping mine will get better before I see my ear doctor in a week.     I had been on anti-biotics for years after my 3rd ear drum replacement failed.    It did finally heal to a small perforation which is necessary as my passages do not drain properly.    Good for Megan making the tips and it is a good idea for her to start saving.    Have a good weekend ahead.   mark

Sorry to hear you have had a sinus infection and sorry you are still waiting to hear from the job you applied for. WOW! Megan did good! I think I'll apply for a job as a waitress!
