How to tell you've been working at a seafood joint too long:

Just finished working a double shift on the sautee line. On Sautee we cook the pasta dishes and scoop chowders for the waitresses. So pretty much all night the waitresses will yell across the kitchen "I need a clam chowder" or "fish chowder" or some sort of chowder. Once we run out of clam chowder I have to yell to the back room "CLLAAAAAAAAAM CHOWDAH PLEASE!" So needless to say I'm hearing all sorts of chowder calls throughout the day. Anyways, we just got the call to close it down so I go downstairs to change, my co worker Kyle is heading up on his way out.

"Later Darrell!" He Says.

Without really thinking I go to say "Ciao" instead out of my mouth comes

"Chowder!"

....Chowder? Did I just say "chowder" to someone leaving? ......I've been working here way too long I think.


In totally unrelated news, You know how I always complained about how fake people were at Johnson (The college I attended for those who don't know me) ... I was reading a supposed 'friends' xanga site and he had typed up this big long speech about how he only played video games to become friends with the 'gamer crowd' there... That really pissed me off because I always thought he was a pretty cool guy. He went on to say how he never really liked video games and then totally dissed them. Which was pretty amazing seeing as how this kid would pretty much play with us ALL the time..... Really really ticked off about this one.

Also, Em is really sick in the great down under, she's been feeling really tired and naseus and throwing up. She also has an injured knee thats been keeping her down for a bit, so any prayers or encouraging emails to her would be great.... Thanks.
