I don't know what to do. It's my day off and I have too much I want to do and not enough energy to do any of it. My options include:
1. I was going to make pizza from scratch. Instead of regular pizza though, I was going to make my own recipe which also included a pie crust instead of a pizza crust. I've had pizza like that before and it was great. My hope was that my recipe would be a success and then I would get into the pizza business, creating a fabulous moderately-priced restaurant lacking in the Las Vegas area. The reality is that I'm a horrible cook and it would undoubtedly be a disaster.
2. Look for work. There are no good jobs that I can find. The only good jobs I do find, don't ever respond.
3. Write to RadioShack. The District Manager was suppose to call me today for an interview. The circumstances behind this are confusing. Perhaps, they've decided not to pursue me any further. Oh my god, I've been rejected by RadioShack. There is no hope for me. I was going to actively pursue this job by sending a "Thank You" e-mail with underlying excitement about a possible career with RadioShack. Who am I kidding? I should be thankful that they are dropping me. Alas, I hate rejection.
4. Housework....it's never ending.
5. Apply for a job at the Golden Nugget. Wait, I work there. I mean a transfer. My grief is with my current position, therefore I could apply for another position that is open like "Special Events Manager" or "Special Events Coordinator". I'm pretty applied out though.
When I have so many things overwhelming me, I tend to get paralyzed and do nothing. I'm just sad that my days off have gone by and I have nothing to show for it. I didn't even really relax. I'm a fool.
I'm the same way. I tend to go take long naps. Doing stuff sucks. I like sleeping more than anything, because at least my dreams are interesting.
ReplyDeletePizza with pie crust sounds delish. You know, I was just thinking the other day, why haven't savory delicious meat pies caught on in the United States? I mean, they satisfy every requirement of fast food ... they're greasy, portable, easily rewarmed in a fast-food setting. And just about every fast food restaurant already has some form of sweet pie ... apple pie, cherry pie ... but no one makes savory meat pies. WHY THE HELL NOT? I would think they would be great sellers. I mean, look at Hot Pockets. Everybody loves Hot Pockets.
You know what else I love? Those new things at Taco Bell where there's a crunchy tortilla that separates the meat and the lettuce, and then the whole thing is wrapped in a soft tortilla and then grilled. I don't know what they're called but they're GOOD TO GO and they're goddamn tasty.
Why don't we start a meat pie franchise?

Re: Stupid Livejournal
ReplyDeleteI knew it was you. I can tell by the trademark "M".
Ah, the Crunch Wrap Supreme at Taco Bell. Not only does it taste good, but it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well as tactially engaging. Yep, it's an all around treat.
ReplyDeleteChicken Pot Pie is popular, isn't it? The problem is that everyone associates it with being poor. I know I ate a lot of them when I was poor. I still like them though. Now, I buy the premium ones from Peppridge Farms or Marie Callendars. They are good. This happens to be one of the forms in which I will eat chicken. So, for meat pies, do you mean like steak and kidney pie, because that won't go over too well in the United States.
I ended up going to the store with the intention of getting a pastry blender and some shortening to make my own pie crusts, but I ended up getting frozen pie crusts. No need to go overboard. I also bought some milk and when I got home, the cat knocked it off of the counter. A whole gallon makes a lot of mess. I yelled at the dogs to help me clean it up and they thought they were in trouble. It was a fiasco. I brought Keiko into the kitchen and pushed her head down towards it and she resisted like I was rubbing her nose into poop. When I let her go, she scrambled out of the kitchen, sliding all over the milk. It's her lose. I'm going to make fun of her all night for being so stupid.
So, that's what my life has come to. I make fun of the dog for hours on end over a misunderstanding.
Yes! The crunch wrap Supreme. I like the spicy chicken one. The nice thing is, the hot side stays hot and the cool side stays cool, so the sour cream doesn't get all melted.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I say meat pies, I don't mean those nasty steak and kidney pies. I mean luscious beef stroganoff pies, or chicken n' dumplin' pies with the dumplin' on the outside (that is, the pie crust) or pies with bacon n' cheese & potato (or something.) Flaky golden pastry on the outside, hot savory fillings on the inside. Don't you think those would sell well? I mean, they're a hand-held meal item, they're moist and delicious, and they feature pastry crust. Anything with pastry crust sells, I think.
And speaking of spills, we had a similar spill experience at work today. The boss was trying to put a new water bottle in the big water dispenser. She dropped the jug and water went all over the floor. We grabbed all the towels we could find and mopped up the water, then threw the towels into the washer (we have a washer and dryer at work, because it's one of those live-work lofts and the washer/dryer came with it.) Anyway, we put too much soap in the washer dryer and it overflowed and then we had no towels to mop up all the spilled suds because we'd used them all to mop up the water. Anyway, I thought it was funny at the time. Funny and ironic. Funronic.
Anyway, off to bed. I'm going to read Sinclair Lewis until my eyes cross funny.

I'm not sure if I'm familiar with the tasty treats that you are proposing, but they sound great.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with spills today? Anway, I ended up using bath towels, which I threw in the laundry. No funrony here, unfortunately. Greg read Elmer Gantry about a year ago. I don't remember if he liked it or if he even finished it. I have never read any Sinclair Lewis. Just the idea of The Jungle makes me think he is boring. What do I know? Not much about Sinclair Lewis, that's for sure.
Argh. So, I was in the shower getting ready for work. I was thinking about "The Jungle" and I was trying to think of other Upton Sinclair novels that I haven't read. Then I realized, argh, my last reply was about Sinclair Lewis, not Upton Sinclair. The funny thing is that I've done this before. When Greg read "Elmer Gantry", I said that I didn't like the idea of "The Jungle". He then reminded me that it was a different author. But wait, there is more. I remember confusing the two back in high school. I guess I'll have to break down and read a book from each to help me keep them separate.
