Day 49
Just checking in
It is midnight and I am tired as fuck. If you ever get the chance to go to three straight girls high school basketball games, do yourself a favor and dunk your head in a pot of boiling water. It is sort of charming for the first game or so. But after thatit gets to be pure torture, especially when you have to pay attention because it is your job.
So I am just going to give you this small entry tonight, but I will do my best to get in a longer entry sometime Wednesday afternoon.
I ate ok today, but I did have a handful of Checks Mix at the game. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer (There were several logistics and scheduling problems stopping me from doing 40) So all in all I am happy with the day., I'll estimate about 1,400 calories today.
Here is a quick ovservation, maybe you have heard this before. There is ANOTHER new girl at Subway. Seriously, i can't imagine how they are always hiring new people there. There aren't that many opportunities to move up from Subway in this town. If you work at Subway, there is no reason to leave, because you probably won't be able to, you know, work your way up anywhere else.
So this new girl is either deaf or retarded. And I'm not yet ruling out both. But I had to tell her my vegetable order, i swear, four different times before I finally gave up and got spinach on my sandwich.
Here is my order, verbatim, every fucking time I go in there: Everything but Jalepenos and spinach. Extra pickles and olives. Normally, I am more than happy to clarify once they get to the pickles and olives section. But this woman reached for the mayo instead of the mustard, then went for the spinach twice before I, in front of a very long line, had to make a scene.
It wasn't much, I just rolled my eyes and turned to away quickly and sighed loud enough for everyone to hear. But I don't think its too much to ask to get the vegetable order right after I tell you twice.
Anyway, I'm going to bed. Be back in the afternoon.
