That would require me to shave first, and it will be a cold day in hell when I shave my beard off, or at least until after spring break. I don't want my face to freeze when I faceplant the slopes.

Yup, Mrs. Z is from Romania. But she'll be working Stateside for at least another year to get her L.C.S.W.



Have patience with the listening. It really takes active listening, and the material may well be over your head for awhile. Took me a couple months in Serbia in 1998 just to hear one word out of every twenty, sometimes one out of ten. I was also reading newspapers every day, which helped, because it was a lot of the same vocab.


I should clarify -- I don't listen and transcribe. I just listen (and to Serbian or Romanian, not Russian). smile.gif Actually, since I had to work my ass off all semester, I didn't listen at all for that entire time. frown.gif


The reading I do at breakfast works like this:


1. Go to BBC once every few weeks.


2. Select and print 3-5 stories on Russian domestic politics/affairs.


3. Prop up dictionary in a nice light stand I got from Barnes & Noble a few years ago.


4. Munch Total/Cheerios/Grape Nuts while flipping through a dictionary and writing small translations, and sometimes the word stress/accent, over the words I don't know. biggrin.gif


I like my Oxford Russian-English / English-Russian dictionary, but it's often leaving me in the lurch on some words that I have to guess at. And for some reason finding a better one (more words) on Amazon is harder than I thought it would be. mad.gif





By the way, the Group W bench is where they put you if they think you may not be moral enough to join the army. wink.gif

I haven't shaved in any way shape or form since the 2nd. After I found out that I was fired behind my back without cause, I didn't see the point in shaving, so I just said {censored} it.


Then again, I haven't had a haircut since August 16, but I don't forsee a haircut anytime in the future, either. smile.gif

It would've been since mid October for me if Pizza Hut hadn't jerked me around and bull{censored}ted me into thinking that I would have a job for a while.


I don't even care that I was fired because I was already looking for another job, but what really irks me is that the bitch of a manager didn't have the guts to tell me to my face that I was fired. I only found out because my name wasn't on the schedule anymore.

It wasn't really stealing, we just forgot that we had the stuff, and we weren't going to take it back. If we would've taken the stuff back, I'm sure there would've been some unpleasant words exchanged between one of my friends and practically everyone that worked there. The place was tearing itsself apart frome cliqueiness anyway. There was a group of about four brothers/sister/girlfriend that was stealing money from the register and food from the freezer along with being general assholes, half of the servers didn't do their jobs, the assistant manager turned into a real bitch under the influence of her girlfriend, and the store manager was not only a bitch, but she was {censored}ing me and all of the other night servers over by messing around with our claimed tips in the computer so that the store wouldn't have to compensate for the lack of tippage to pay us minimum wage, not to mention the fact that one of the drivers/assistant managers was high and drunk while going on runs, and add to that the fact that my friend who was on the management staff never got his raise that he was due months ago. Of all of the people that work there, I can count on one hand the ones that actually did their jobs well and weren't total dooshes.

Sounds like time for anonymous letter to regional management... wink.gif


I don't see how she can mess with tips without irritating customers and their credit card companies...
