Great Harvest Bread Co.

Soooooo....i guess it's about time for me to update my xanga.  I took my sweet time relaxing this whole summer.  Helped out with VBS, planned SCAC Summer Conference's kids program, went to SUNRIVER, and had fun watching lots of tv and reading lots of books.  But alas, i knew i couldn't be a bum forever.  I'm starting the pastry program at the culinary school at SSCC in january so i figured i should take advantage of autumn quarter and get some culinary experience....and having some extra $$$ doesn't hurt either....actually, it's more like $.......

Enter: GREAT HARVEST BREAD CO.! 

Yea, so i'm not actually doing any baking there, but i make sandwiches from 11-3.  2 other girls and I average 150 sandwiches a day.  I'm on my feet all day so they get super tired but i'm enjoying my work.  OH YEA. And the major bonus is that i get all the free bread i want.  sweeeeet.   my favorite is their cinnamon chip bread, yumyumyum....

I'm not even thinking about school yet, i'm just enjoying the fact that i have NO HOMEWORK and i can just go home everyday, crash on my couch, and get fat eating my bounty of free bread...

Oh yea!  I work at the Great Harvest in Lohman's plaza in factoria so if you are ever in the area weekdays between the times of 9am-3pm drop on by!

Is this not the cutest most awsome car ever???

The door opens from the front, see the door handle?  Um...too bad it's like 15k.  Not worth its cuteness especially since it'll probably die of rust very soon.

Taking my slow, sweet time reading P & P because they speak all funny and spell stuff weird like "teaze" and it's all single spaced and it's not one of those books you can't put down like harry pot pot.  I do like it a lot though, but it's just taking me a lot longer than usual to finish it.  But you're right yunice, it's getting a lot more exciting in the second half.

Back to writing my paper.....i knew i shouldn't have waited so long to start it because now i'm in a mad rush to finish it before my weekly NIGHT OF TV MADNESS with the yun and kris.  HOUSE AND SVUUUUUUUUUUU!!

apparently this is the kind of stuff Boeing employees email each other during the work day. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a  high school diploma
to fix one: a reassurance for those of us who fly  routinely in their
jobs After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form,  called a "gripe
sheet,"which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The
mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and
then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it
be said that ground crews lack a sense of  humor.

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas'  Pilots (marked with a P) and the Solutions Recorded (marked with an S)  By Maintenance Engineers.

By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has  never had an
accident.
