too close to home

Wow, i never thought I"d see the day where there is a shooting in my neighbourhood. A shooting at a park, that I used to spend time at when I was in high school. A shooting three houses down from where my cousin used to live !!!!!!!!!!!!! Society really is going to the dogs !!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy !

a shooting up in Brookswood, involving 16 year olds !!! The thought of 16 year olds with guns scares me ! - WHAT IS A 16 YEAR OLD DOING WITH A GUN? When does shooting someone solve any problems????

I may be a little naive, a little sheltered, but this is not supposed to happen in my neighbourhood. It happens in big cities like Colorado, and Vancouver. NOT IN LANGLEY !!!!!!!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the shooting victim. Lucky for them, the kid is going to be all right. These kids went to my high school. I never thought there would be a shooting at my high school. Granted I haven't gone there since I graduated over 10 years ago. BUt still.............

what is the world coming too !!!!???!!!!????

The Sinking Ship

We seem to be losing employees, like our restaurant is the Titanic. The question is? Am I a passenger, or a member of the orchestra?

Do I go down with the ship, or jump while I can?

Work has been horrible lately. Everyone is discontented. And its not me. There is nothing I can do to fix it. I can't stand it. Everyone is pretty annoyed at the General Manager. Nothing seems to be dealt with. Lately he has just been spouting platitudes - and doing nothing about it. In all fairness to him, its been a really bad summer. We've been short staffed for the majority of the summer. Lost two long term employees, mainly cuz they didn't like the way the General Manager spoke to them. From the way he looked at it though, they didn't like being expected to do their job. They did a great job, granted, they had some areas they needed to work on - i wouldn't have yelled at them though. But then, I dont yell at anyone, except if you're a dishwasher and continually proposing to me. We hired quite a few high school students, which helped in the summer, but now that school's back in they want to cut their shifts. Not that I blame them at all - So here we are, back at the beginning, looking for staff, hiring, training, and then more people decide to quit. They have had enough - I hate to say it, but most of their reasons for leaving have to do with either the General Manager, or the Kitchen Manager. Something needs to change here.


To jump or not to jump, that is the question.

My Pet Peeve

• People who call in talk shows after a pre season game, ready to write the season off, because the Canucks lost
• People who already 'know' that the Canucks won't make the playoffs
• People not willing to wait until the regular season starts to pass their judgement on the hockey team
• People, already eager to trade away Naslund, or Willie Mitchell, some would even trade away the Sedins
• So called fans, who phone in, and already 'know' that the Canucks are going to have a lousy year - on the strength of one or two pre season games.

CUT THEM SOME SLACK !! IT'S GONNA TAKE TIME !

Time for them to gel as a team. They lost 12-14 regulars out of their lineup. Its pre season - LIGHTEN UP !!! If they are still losing like this in November and December, you may have an issue then. But for now, Give them a chance !!!!!!
