Funny things
This week and last week I have been on the dessert duty for lunch at work. For those of you who don't know, (0r if I didn't post it) I am a lunch lady at one of the local high schools. Last Wednesday I had the wonderful? opportunity to make cake. Well, it looked beautiful. I cut it and frosted it and put it on trays to serve. Barbara, one of my co-workers complained that I didn't put enough frosting on it. I personally thought that 1/4 inch thick was plenty, but not her. She was complaining because it wasn't 1/2 to 3/4 thick. YUCK! Anyway, her comment to me was I guess we better not let the person on the diet frost the cakes anymore.......My thought was fine with me.....even when I wasn't "dieting" I never liked the frosting that thick. She kept on and on about it until I finally got up, went to the walk-in (fridge) and got the bucket of frosting and a knife an took it to her.....I told if it wasn't enough, she could put on as much as she wanted to. She quit complaining.........The next day the complaint was that I didn't put enough whipped topping on the jello.....and so today, we had Apple Betty with Carmel sauce, and I let everyone know that I wasn't going to put it on.....they would have to because I was on a "diet" They just laughed at me.......I was really offended at first, but now they are watching me really close so I don't dare mess up... Now it is just a joke.....
When I got home from work today, I had a notice on my door that my power had been shut off. I missed the stupid payment.! they shut it off for less that $30 in past due! I had to pay a reconnect fee and a deposit, and the past due balance before they would turn it back on...it took them less that an hour to have it back on, but I was really frustrated........I could see if it was waaaaay past due and over $100, but $30? and the funny thing about that is, that it wasn't technically due until today anyway, so whats up with that? No matter, it has been taken care of. So much for having any money for this weekend.......although, I got a letter saying that our stimulus package should be arriving around the 23.....Maybe it wont be so bad after all?
Gotta run.............

at my daughters school they dont allow any cakes or stuff for school, they have a srict list of what the kids can bring and if its not healthy they take it away from the kids, they are nazis over here.
Must be fun having your job though.
That just seems crazy to me. We have to follow the government guidelines, but they do get some sweets every once in a while. This last 2 weeks have been more because it is managers choice, and we are just trying to get rid of the stuff in the freezers and storage that could go bad before we go back in the fall.
I remember when i was in school at the late 80's we did not have any of the j unk food that is around these days, everyone would bring a brown bad with a sandwich and a piece of friut almost every day. Now kids have all these colourful brightly wrapped treats and everyone is just sitting and eating all day... oh how times change.
