Ketchup with Craig

This whole having no computer thing is a real drag because I don't remember often to update and check blogs and all that jazz. I usually have to steal Matt's computer when he's never home and use it for an hour.

Life is good. I FINALLY GOT A JOB!! At...


...you guessed it....RED ROBIN!!!

The morning of Jan 17 at precisely 8:31 a.m. my phone rang. Being DEAD asleep (as a result of going to bed rather late...or early depending on how you look at it =) I was in a stupor to realize it was my phone ringing and that I didn't recognize the number. With a numb arm (from sleeping on it funny) and a sleeping voice (of which I coughed and growled to try to wake my voice up), I answered anyway. It was the hiring manager from Red Robin asking if I could come in for an interview and to be there in 45 minutes! I jumped up and started to get ready for a shower...only to remember I let Matt borrow the car this morning so he could go to work (his car was in the shop)!!! I texted and called him to no prevail...he's a lifeguard at the pool so it isn't like he could just get up and leave anyways...So i called a few friends until Stevie finally let me borrow her car. But in reality all she had to really do was just drive me to campus so I could get my keys from Matt. So half-dressed (literally with an untucked shirt and half buttoned up shirt...belt undone...scruffy face....) i made my way to Idaho Falls. I didn't have time at home to shave so I decided to bring my electric shaver with me to shave in the car. Bad idea. About halfway through my face with the shaver i heard the high pitch power noise from the shaver battery start to die as the tone got lower and lower and lower arriving at a dead STOP. My face was half shaven, and by now I was halfway to I.F. and had ten minutes to get there. After a brief moment of panic I turned the shaver back on and discovered it to be on high power for about ten seconds...then it died again. Then I turned it on again and it would be on a high power boost for about nine seconds...and the next time eight...and then seven...and so on....until my entire face was as smooth as a babies butt. Needless to say I arrived, I interviewed, I got hired on the spot, I had opening orientations, I signed papers, I called mom. Starting on the 19th it was the opening day of the restaurant, and being a holidy (Martin Luther King), it was ABSOLUTE CHAOS. I've worked every day since except Sunday and it is a ton of fun. It is seriously like a singles ward, with a few married exceptions. The manager might as well be a Bishop and the Assistant Manager the RSP.

My roommates are awesome this semester. One of them just came into some money and bought a 50'ish inch flat screen 120 hertz 1080 something-or-other HD television with a Blu-Ray Disc player. I watched Jurassic Park on that baby and it actually added to the terror of the whole movie scenario. I felt like the dinosaurs were literally in the room...um...no thanks.

I've gone on a few blind dates since I've been back from Christmas. I told mom i'm all about blind dates now. It worked for Josh and Robin and pretty much Jamie and Anita (who can i make my accidental phone call to?). I have no idea how Scott and Kiana met...anyway. Oh and I have a friend who just went on a blind date Jan 1 and just went this weekend to already 'meet the family.' "WHAT?"...i can hear mom and robin say. Anyway, wish me luck on my dating adventures.

I've applied for a graphic design internship in Indiana this past weekend. The company is called "Midwest ISO". Website: www.http://www.midwestiso.org. My friend Brooke worked their last summer and submitted my name and resume for me. It would be a great opportunity so we will see what happens. If not then I will continue with normal school this summer.

The weather here is FUH-REE-ZING. Ice ice cold. All the more reason to stay inside and watch Jurassic Park 2 and 3. Love to all!
