Detestment

I really hate putting away the food after dinner. Really, it is my least favorite chore. I would rather iron, or vacuum or do the laundry or even do all the dishes (or maybe even all of those combined) and have someone else put the food away.

There's just something about finding the right size container and then finding a freaking lid for it and then scraping the food from the pot into the container... bleh. I don't even know what it is about it that I truly detest. When I think about putting the food away, I just want to whine until someone else does it. Which is completely not like me... I think (I hope).

I told Andrew this last night. We were sitting on the couch and I asked him "Will you please put the food away" which actually wasn't an unreasonable request since I had cooked dinner. Of course he obliged but I suddenly felt motivated to expound on my own feelings on the subject. He didn't (and doesn't) really understand it, which I guess is understandable since it seems like such a simple thing to do in the first place.

The farthest back I can trace this hatred is probably about middle school. I don't have a clear or specific memory, but I think it slowly began to dawn on me that these feelings of discontentment were emanating from leftover food sitting on the stove.

What's your least favorite chore? What would you do to get out of it? 

Stay on the sunny side, Always on the sunny side!

Have you ever been told that you have to have a connection to a company to get hired? Well, it is absolutely true. You can't even get an interview without an in, let me tell you. And the other crazy thing is that you can use the most obscure connection in the world and it can still work. 

Little update for you: 

1. I don't have a job

2. Andrew started school 3 weeks ago and is working his butt off (right, Andrew?)

3. We are homeless (we decided that's what we're going to be fore Halloween. Bonus: we don't even have to dress up! I call it "looking on the bright side.")

4. As soon as I find a job, we will find a place to live. For now, we are taking advantage of our parents' infinite kindness and sleeping in guest bedrooms. 

We've both been sick since getting home from Europe. Andrew caught some weird (zombie) strain of the flu and his body attacked itself (like I said, zombie). No worries though, he's on some crazy meds now and is doing much better. 

If you hear of any amazing job opportunities, (I'm looking for a lab position, close to Provo, great pay, amazing benefits, good hours, short commute; ya know, not really being picky at all) let me know! :)
