Um, yeah I'm in Utah.

I'm doing some temp work this week for my old company while I'm waiting to hear back about full time jobs.


The company you just got fired from?  Or another one?

The one I got fired from. Technically I was laid off, so they gave me the option to do the flowers account for valentine's day.  It at least keeps some money coming in while I"m interviewing and trying to decide what I want to do.

I guess a job's a job, yeah?  That's still got to be lame working for them after that.

It kind of is, but... *shrug*.  At the same time, I get more money out of them, and it's not like the whole company screwed me over, just a few select people. There are some really nice people there who I'm happy to be working with, but even if they offered me another permanent job I don't think I'd stick around after this.  I just look at it more like using them to get a paycheck while I shop around elsewhere.  And I'm finding that they do *not* pay that well.

LoL. I have an interview Monday afternoon and I need to call back one of the other places I applied for to set up an appointment.  Perhaps during my lunch tomorrow.  A third place called and left a message, but I'm not sure if I want to call them back or not because they're not paying a lot and the commute might not be worth it without the extra pay.

Amazingly, no crowds on the streets, from the pictures on the news. They really sent out the cops and did a lot of advertising beforehand, too, to prevent it. Plus, perhaps winning it the third time in four years isn't so exciting as waiting 86 years.

Hey...there's an idea...

Umm, except, the only thing I have to put on the rice is spagetti sauce.  Not all that appetizing, but better than nothing.  Rice with chicken stock isn't a stand-alone, is it?  Anything else I can do to it with a practically empty kitchen?

The fact that I'm going to make rice and spagetti sauce for dinner should give you a clue.

In the fridge I have half a jar of salsa, two eggs, spagetti sauce, and a jar of strawberry jam.  And that's it.  Literally.  I have rice, obviously, and then some flour and sugar...and peanut butter...and hot chocolate mix...some angel hair pasta...oats, cornmeal, ketchup, barbecue sauce, honey, vinegar and oil.  That's it.  How pathetically sad.  

Then I have a collection of spices, if that helps.

Ok, Take and cook the rice, with chicken stock,... then throw it in the freezer for a second to cool it down,... Put a little oil in a pan , crack the egg in a bowl and throw it all in the pan (after the rice is cold) the goal here is to make egg fried rice...
