Back To Work
It feels good to be back in the land of the gay. After a busy week of traveling, and rushing to Roseville to spend Christmas with Josh's family, it was nice to get home Sunday with a few hours to spare before going to bed and waking up for work.
Now mind you, while dealing with snow, ice, and cold, it has been raining daily in SF. The ants from last year (and I'm sure they were the same ants) came back to invade our home. It seems somebody killed their sister (ste3ve and I last year).
They came in by force, and our counter was covered because one little bread crumb was laying on the counter. So a little windex and a garbage disposal later, they were gone. *sigh* they will be back to fight.
Riding Muni felt weird for some reason. I've ridden the train for 1 1/2 years now and know every stop, every shake and bump, yet it felt different.
Christmas never hit SF. I mean the day had come and passed just like any other day. It was almost like the Grinch but in the opposite way.
Off to work at 6am and my first day as a trainer. My trainee was great but I think I may have overloaded him with information. Trying hard to teach him everything in the schedule, was tough but thanks to every other place being closed, I had the time I needed.
It went well overall and the day went by quickly. After work I met Josh at Powell station and we explored Ross and the Container Store for New Years Eve ideas. We managed to get champagne flutes. Guess I didn't realize how many we needed. 24 flutes and a few candles later, we headed home.
After stir fry and some down time, Josh finally went to a moving sale. He bought some great stuff. $2 bottles of wine, $2 bottles of baileys, a nice serving tray for $5, and much much more. We bought a fondue pot for Ste3ve to go with the bottle of wine we had gotten him (who has now returned home).
Finally get to open gift with Ste3ve/from Ste3ve. Josh got hemp pants and I got the bestest Gir in the world. For those who don't know, I love Gir. For those who don't know who he is, he is the robot servant to invader Zim and the star (in my opinion) of the hit cartoon (ok, not so popular) Invader Zim series.
Finally sleep. 5 hours before work again. Tomorrows a new day.
