Bacterial, Juice and Panthenol

Hey.. How are you?

I just got home from work, and quite frankly work sucked. Everyone was angry at something or other, and I found out that as well as washing dishes, mopping floors, organizing linen, sanitizing the whole kitchen and putting everything in its proper place, I also have to paint the kitchen.. Cool ha? Not really. Multi tasking is not something that I do exceptionally well, and tonight was no exception. I ended up covered in paint, and well behind in my dish washing. It was not fun. The only bonus was that one of the other dishwashers who is training to be a chef mopped the floor, which saved an hour. Something else that happened was that one of the other dishwashers got fired, and I got his hours... I don't know. Although I now can make more money, I feel slightly guilty about taking work away from someone who probably needs it more than me. It was not the best Sunday night ever, yet it was certainly not the worst. Still, every penny towards Tony's Emporium of Fine Goods helps. I also like mandolin money.

So hey, you have a good summer now. If you need any summer reading, I would happily give you all my Jerome K. Jerome. By the way, the K. Is for Klapka, which sounds kind of like an olde tyme way of saying gonorrhea. Indeed. Tomorrow I will enjoy performing my monthly overhaul of my room, which will rock.

Speaking of mandolins, I went to play some today. Although they were considerably more easy to play than my machine, they were not loud enough. To stand out in my religious musical group, I had to develop a style of mandolin playing which is quite unusual. I have to hit the strings much harder then they are meant to be hit, using a rapid tremolo for every note. I can only use the top two courses, as the lower two are quite indistinguishable from the array of guitars, pianos and banjos. This aggressive and in no way compassionate style of playing is hurting my machine badly. In fact, so much so that it is exhibiting symptoms that if left untreated will render it unplayable in the coming weeks. I am sad for it, as we have been very good friends up to this point, and the strain on our relationship will make it hard for us to see each other socially.
