I did my second week’s class today finally. It had to be done by
sunday, so I had to finish by tomorrow. I also did most of the stuff
for next week as long as I was at it. I’ll still have to watch the
slideshow presentation next week, but I wanted to wait until the class’
week started on monday before doing it, since you have to sign in on
the week of the class to get credit, rather than doing it alll at once.
This week’s lesson was almost interesting, talking about how to make
queries in Access. I already know how to write out queries by hand, but
this was talking about how to use the query wizard and datasheet view
to do it, rather than writing out the sql for it by hand. I learned a
couple things I didn’t know already, so that’s nice. So far the class
seems fine. I like being able to do it whenever I want.
The job at Moore Wallace is going fine. We started the week off with
very long days, from 6am to 5-7pm for the first 3 days. Yesterday and
today they had cut down on how many people were there because there
wasn’t much work to do, but we still were invited to go. Sabrina’s
father and I are pretty much the quickest and most accurate people
there, so they like to have us around. Today we were done at noon so we
had most of the day free. I wasted it by falling asleep and not getting
up until I had to get Sabrina from work, but it was nice to get a
little sleep. We have Sunday, and most likely Monday, both off because
they are having production problems. I don’t really mind, the money
would be nice, but I like the time off too. Originally they had said it
would be for about 19 days straight, and that’s hard to do for any job,
let alone when you have to be there at 6am. I have to get up about 7 or
8 hours before I had been to go, so it’s a bit of a change for me, and
I”ve been going to bed pretty early to make up for it. I’m not tired at
all while we’re there because we keep busy, but once we get home I’m
pretty much ready for bed.
I did get my first paycheck from it yesterday, so we wen’t out tonight to Ninety Nine
celebrate. I got steak tips, and Sabrina got fish and chips. Both were
pretty good. They’re going to open up a new one right next to the
Michael’s that she works at, so once that is open we’ll probably eat
there more. We’ve gone to a different one 3 times now I think, and it’s
nice, but it’ll be better when we don’t have to go quite as far.
Yesterday we ate at Quiznos,
which finally opened in West Hartford. We’ve been looking forward to it
opening for a while now. We saw it being built into one of the strip
malls a couple months ago and it finally opened a couple weeks ago. We
didn’t know it was open until this week, and so we went yesterday. I
haven’t been to one since I lived in Cleveland, but always liked it
alot. They toast all the subs so its warm and the cheese is melted.
They’re really good, so we’ll definately be going there again. One of
the people that works there thought we had been there before, but we
haven’t. We suspect she worked at one of the other restaurants we
frequent and had waited on us there and happened to remember, but it
was weird to be asked. She seemed familiar to us too, but we don’t know
where from.
