Deep thought in the kitchen

Worker 1: Hey, what's the good word?

Worker 2: Oh...Friday's the good word.

Worker 1: Friday? Why is Friday the good word?

Worker 2: Because Friday is payday.

Worker 1: So shouldn't payday be the good word?

Worker 2: Yeah, I guess...payday is the good word.

Worker 1: Why's payday the good word?

Worker 2: Because we get money on payday.

Worker 1: So shouldn't money be the good word?

Worker 2: Okay money is the good word?

Worker 1: Why's money the good word....

I could go on but do I have to? This while spending an hour and a half straight checking lettuce.
No, seriously, I love my summer job as a mashgiach (or as my id badge says "Mashiagh"). I kind of have a thing for cooking and baking, and part of the job is helping the kitchen staff with preparing and serving the meals. So I learn a thing or two on the job, and alot of the workers are nice people. And I get my own office. So things turn out pretty well. The only problem right now is getting there. Of my last two adventures with the transit system, I have been twenty minutes late getting home, and today getting to work. The alternative, which would be to drive (and which I do most of the time) is much more expensive, because I'm not the only one who uses the car, and filling up more than once a week is a killer.

Ho man!


What are we Going to Do without the Xbox? Seriously, I think we paid enough for this thing for it to not break within a year of buying it. By the time the summer is over, the people at microsoft will have finally gotten their feet off the table and started the process of walking-over-to-that-box-in-the-corner-and-finding-out-what-the-heck-is-in-it.
If anyone has any suggestions on a faster way to fix this than shipping it back to microsoft, please let me know.
(we don't have three lights. we have one in the bottom right corner)

The story so far...

You don't give much thought to some things until you have to. During the school year, I would never wonder for a second what I would be doing with all my free time over the summer vacation. But now that it's here, I spend most of the time having nothing better to do than play xbox or drive my sisters to and from their day camp. Which is kind of boring. Yes I have work, but I generally do not work for more than 4 hours a day (not my choice, that's the way the job works), and not even everyday. And I'm still making...lets see... five times what I made last year? If everything goes well, I will have enough money to live quite comfortably during my last year of high school. Which brings me to that. I have a reading I have to write an essay on for AP english over the summer, and I have to study for the SAT'a, because I have to beat my brothers apparently awesome score. And I have to somehow sell 50 raffle tickets for my senior class trip. So it's not like I have nothing to do, I guess. I just don't want to do any of that stuff. I'll just have to face the music eventually.

Some of you old timers may remember we were planning on making a Space- the movie for the summer of 2008.

As of right now I have no idea if this is going to happen or not. I asked them to write a screenplay for me, and I wasn't so impressed with what they came up with. So we'll just have to see what happens with this.
But I can tell you that if we do wind up doing it, it's going to have way more special effects than I've ever used before. Should be interesting. It'll give me something to do.
