Alternator Failure and Free Food

While my parents where out of the country I was stuck with the enviously task of house sitting. Although for all you seventeen year olds out there I know this is a blessing. I had to ride back to the city in time for my evening shift to begin. I'm rocking out loud to Snoop Dog in that Katy Perry's California Gurls song. I know you do it too. Anyways, my radio starts shifting on and off. Totally messing with my groove. Though I do realize something is wrong with my car and get the next exit. My AC turns off. By now I know my lights are next and concluding with my engine coming to a halting stop. Yes, ladies and gentlemen this has happened to me before. I immediately know it's my alternator failing. Don't worry I was able to get out of the freeway. Though I did receive help from somebody, help which landed me on the side of the freeway this time. BUT. I did get a really cool push from those truck highway guys that work for the sheriff department. I felt I was riding in those electronic cars you get when you are little kid and your dad pushes you around when the battery dies. Yes it was that awesome. I got to work, late but I made it yay!
Talking about work. Today one of the clients left before receiving their dessert when their dessert tray was already made. So who do you ask got this tray? ME! Not such a good thing when you get free food all the time. AND. I did share. And yes there was even chocolate. Then again who does not enjoy the free duck, po-boy and or other delicious dishes for free. Right. Sometimes I just love what I do. :D

Truckee and Veronica Mars.

Not that Veronica Mars has anything to do with the incorporated town of Truckee with a population of only a little under 14 thousand (although I doubt you will ever see these two in the same sentence again). I only wanted to come in here and release my frustration over this show. No ending! Really! I decided to watch a show that apparently a lot of people found appealing, only to realize at the end of the 3 seasons that this show does not have a conclusion ending! Really frustrating. Plus they took off the only likable possible counterpart to our protagonist, or to say my favorite. Enough about Veronica Mars (which is enough is exactly what it's lacking).
So I have made my decision about the earlier post (not that I have not already told some of you, like uhm, a few weeks ago, I am just now making it public knowledge). So I'm moving. Again. Yay! It was not an easy decision to make. I am still going over whether my decision was the right one and how my life will change with this road taken. You know like (yes using very appropriate northern California language with the, YOU KNOWS, and the LIKES) when you think about a moment in your life that changed the course of your life forever. If you had taken a right instead of a left where would you be now. Well this is an intersection in my life right now and I have chosen my path. Now we'll just have to see what the future has stored for me and if in the future I will look back upon this moment and be content or even regret my decision. All I know is that my future is in the Lords hands now and I trust him with it. I'll just be a long for this treacherous ride as I embark the start of my culinary career (how exciting and I say this with the least bit or sarcasm, really). Or maybe I'm just taking this out of context and being over dramatic and making this more than it should be, it is just an internship after all ( I am a woman after all and we have been known in the past to be a little over dramatic at times, Nah, never).

Decisions. Decisions.

Last week I was brought with a decision concerning to my academics. I was given the choice between two chef professors to undergo my time as a student in the Careme 350 ( the school's slightly, may I say now kick-ass restaurant). The choices go as follows: 1. Peppy, encouraging, perfectionist, positive, yet moody Chef (only for the fact that she is a woman and may still be under the influence of our monthly curse) or 2. Cynical, Sarcastic, Dark humored, highly expectant, also younger and slightly attractive Chef. Let's just say I went with the one that will more accurately match my learning style, and have something to feast my eyes on besides the delicious decadents I will be preparing.
Having said that. Let's move on to decision numero dos.
I have externship (known to the rest of the world except my slightly weird, wannabe unique school as an internship) offers in both Napa and the North Lake Tahoe area. The Napa would do wonders for my career, but I liked the atmosphere, people and place in the North Lake Tahoe area. Pretty much i'm in a deep hole. I don't know what to go with. I guess the first question I have to first ultimately answer is. Do I want to sell my soul and body to a career, or gradually climb a ladder like the rest of the population (with happiness) to what seems like an exciting and promising career. Any ideas?
