Current mood:

shocked

I dropped Dave off at work this morning then came home to relax for a little bit. It's my first day off since I started work at the Boscawen Inn last Monday.

I opened the Chronicle Herald site to read the news and there was a girl that I knew in High School.

She was killed in Afghanistan last night.

Apparently she's the first female soldier killed in action since WWII.

It's so sureal, when someone you know is suddenly gone, yet there they are on the front page of the paper.

She wasn't a good friend of mine, but an aquaintence from High School. I haven't seen her since then.

But wow, what a schocker first thing in the morning.

...

So I did finally get a job here in Lunenburg. I had been waiting to hear from Sobeys in Bridgewater when I got a call for an interview at the Boscawen Inn which is just down the street from me. I was hired on the spot and started May 8th.

At first I thought the owner was the nastiest, crotchityest old man ever. He was so cranky and full of blame. But in the last week he's really come around. To me anyway. The girl who started this past Monday thinks he hates her, and the waitress who started last night is afraid of him.

I told them not to worry tho, he's actually a very nice man, you just can't take what he says to heart. He gets all stressed out and needs someone to blame, and they just have to put their foot (feet?) down and level with him. And if that doesnt work, I'll have to talk to him and tell him to stop making his employees nervous.

So Hooray! I have a job.

Dave and I are now DINK's - Double Income No Kids. Beautiful.
