New job, New headaches

Well, I've officially gotten my second job now. I'm moonlighting (in the daytime) as a waitress at Perkins on 33rd Ave on the weekends. And still working my 9-5 "bread-n-butter" job Mon-Fri. I really get tired of having more and more hurdles put in my way at Linweld. It seems like my boss there really wants me to get into some sort of trouble so that he is justified in firing me. Can't make me quit, though. Can't get unemployment that way...I do like my job at Perkins though. I forgot how much fun it is to have that kind of immediate sense of a job well done, and knowing exactly what to do to make people happy...or not!

What to say? I am starting on a new pathway here. I have never blogged before, not even written in a diary since my brother used to sneak into my room and read it, and then tell his friends about the crushes on them I had...about 20years. You will have to be patient with me as I learn the ropes of this. This is the corn that my son Christopher was given at the end of his 3rd grade year to plant for an Iowa's Tallest Corn contest. We got it in May and didn't get around to planting it until July, so needless to say, the sweet corn ain't going to grow in my front yard this year.
