Post Holiday catch up

So after all the holidays and festivities, Britt and I got paid. Thank goodness. So what did we do- go to Ikea of course. Have you ever tried to take a bus home after a shopping trip to Ikea? Its a great time. And I don't just mean all the little stuff- we had a table and a full length mirror. Absolutely hilarious. And we had to transfer buses at one point. It was all well worth it though because our flat actually feels like a home now- and it smells nice thanks to the tea light candles 100 for 1£ or whatever it was.

I'm glad that the holidays are coming to a slow down because the buses were stupid and when public transit is your life its kind of a big deal. Also work hours will get a bit more routine, and I'll get to blog more often which means I won't forget things in between the time they happen and when I get a chance to post. Like when we asked for a policeman to take a picture with us at Hogomany and he said no and then we took one anyways and he stopped us and said that when he said no he meant no wait till he can get a good pose-

Messages to pass on:

*Happy new years everyone- 2009!!

*I'm kind of a big deal- partner of the fortnight (employee of the past two weeks at Starbucks). My manager wrote: "Rachel has settled into the team at Palmerston extremely well. She has a fantastic sense of humour, especially with some of the regular customers- for example Laurel and Hardy. She works hard, and always looks for things to do!"

-translation (in what I think my manager meant): Rachel is oddly comfortable in new situations. She make a lot of inappropriate jokes that leave me uncomfortable and yet I find myself laughing so I can't punish her for them. She refers to two customers as Fred and Barney (only finding out their real names while reading this memo), which suits me fine because she stopped referring to them as "life partners". She better know what she is doing because she has worked at Starbucks for 10 months.
