Tasks

So I finally got the rut down. Here at 10am, help set up for coffee break at 11:15 by bringing cups to the table (there's 150 people so that's a lot of cups). Then I go upstairs and enter Titles, series numbers, isbn numbers, publishers and dates, and descriptions into a file to post items into an online store. At 11 I go down and help in the kitchen with the mad rush that is coffee/tea break. Pouring, handing, washing, drying, conversing, general multitasking. After that I go back to the books or some other random task for about an hour then go out for lunch. Come back at 2, do more books, or if there's something else going on, like today the boss, Geordin (I think that's how you spell/pronounce it? Terrible, I know), told me to go see a quick fiddle concert instead. Then at 3 I help teach beginner tin whistle classes (I picked it up like that because I still remembered all the recorder crap drilled into me from 3rd grade). Another coffee/tea break at 4, but I get there late and leave early so I don't have to deal with the total craziness because then I go right back to teaching, or assisting. Then at the end of that class they always want an encore, and both the teacher and I fiddle so he's been playing them trad Irish, and I've been playing them trad American. Once in a while we'll play together too. Then I vacuum and clean (worst part of the job. I HATE it. HAAATTTEEE cleaning so FREAKING much). And then I go!

Today I came up to the computer room to type this up to let everyone at home know what I'm up to. I know I'm not on much now but that's because this is the only place with internet. Really annoying, but whatever.

My housemates are fantastic. Their from Wisconsin - UoW - M (University of Wisconsin - Milwuakee). Tanya and Cory - both really nice, down to earth girls. They're really easy to talk to, and just last night we were sitting there talking for almost 3 hours while making dinner and whatnot. Cory and I have a bit in common - we both love SciFi so we raved together about Firefly (of course). She even had a firefly shirt with her (NEED... birthday... coming...along with the full season! :) please?)

Finally got some laundry done and went up to the store today on my lunch break. Got some bread and chicken and pasta and sauce and peanut butter and eggs and milk and etc. That's a lot of ands...

I don't remember what the concert/event is for tonight but I'll probably head down for it. Last night it was a 45 professional play... but it was all in Irish, so I didn't go... I wouldn't have any idea what was going on, unless they had real life subtitles!

Anyways - parents are leaving on the plane tomorrow, right? See you on friday!!!!!! :)
