Things are looking up

· 🌡️ 50°F

Or so it seems. I had my Bio test this evening and I really have no idea how I did, but this time I did not get that "I just fucked that up feeling". In fact I think a good majority of my answers were well thought out and actually made sense this time. So hopefully these last couple weeks of real studying paid off. I'm still not out of the water yet. Tomorrow is physics and although I feel ready, it could go horribly wrong depending on the complexity of the problems. Nonetheless I feel cramming more at this point will only make me more nervous.

On the job front I have an interview tomorrow, hopefully it will go well and they can offer me what I'm looking for. I'm pretty miserable at my current place. I never thought I would say this, but I really miss working at Tokyo-Seoul. That restaurant was the cleanest that I have ever worked or eaten in. The food was consistently good; I rarely if ever had a complaint. The money was also so much better. Despite how difficult it could be to work for someone who screamed at me in Korean when I didn't live up to unreasonable expectations, or the completely unfair policies that are probably against labor laws. I at least knew where I stood there. People were not phony or complete dickheads for no apparent reason. We didn't have lame ass staff menu knowledge tests or constant threats of being fired for the most minor of rule infractions. The owners ruled with an iron fist, but as long as you worked hard and didn't lie to them you were safe. Hopefully this new place will work out, I guess if it doesn't I will keep looking.

    Man, I can't believe this place makes the working conditions at Tokyo Seoul seem good by comparison. I could never hack a job in food service, if that's what you have to put up with.

    Well, I could probably never hack a job in food service, anyway. And yet they had me tending bar for a while at the film festival tonight... fools that they are.

    Man, I can't wait 'til we can come up and visit you! Thanksgiving is gonna be great!

    Man, it's refreshing to hear that you are kinda in the same boat as myself....and it's even more refreshing to hear that things are on the upturn for you! Cheers to your job interview! Good luck!
