Coopers, Shannon and work.

I wrote a few days ago to update but clearly it did not make it on here. The basis of that post was "OMG! I found Coopers in Minneapolis; My life is complete" -- The end. :-)

Well besides finding Coopers, Shannon left today and that made me sad. Not overly sad but a bit at least! It was so nice to have him visit! I went to my first day of work at the deli and it went just fine, but it was eight hours of standing on my feet. I did drop a cold salad in the morning that went over the counter and luckily did not hit the lady who had asked for it. Oh yeah I get to wear a silly hat. It's not too bad, but still kind of silly. It doesn't really stay in one place. I was terrified to even try the slicer today. I got the low down on everything mostly, but it would have been really nice to have one person go through everything with me...which didn't happen but everyong was pretty nice in helping me out when I had questions. I'm sure I screwed up a few times but no customers really complained and I got a good hold on doing the salads since it's pretty much all I did today. But good ness! so many salads and different meats and chesses! It's crazy! whew!

Dad picked me up from work and as I was leaving I was thinking that I'd get to go home to see Shannon. Oh wait, ( I reminded myself) I took him to the airport at an ungodly hour this morning :-( Sigh.. It was nice to have an Aussie around and be reminded of the fun times in Adelaide and to reconnect. I look forward to January when Shannon says he will be passing through again. Until then I guess the Coopers will have to console me, and so far it is doing its job well. Nothing like some Coopers after an eight hour shift at the deli... ahhh... relaxing.

I can't say there is too much more going on. Most of you read Shannon's blog now so you'll get an update from him about what we did the past couple days. I think a lot of it was drinking alcohol and watching movies. We went to the sculpture garden in the city on a very nice evening and went to the Mall of America the other day, but the last few days were pretty chill. Oh yeah we met Sunil's friend Jen. She was very nice. Um but we were mostly bums for the past few days before Shannon left. I thought of a billion things we could do though after he left. We never got around to the biscuits and gravy and I didn't show him any other part of Minnesota ( up North is beautiful) plus there's great historic stuff around , but whatever I think he's fine with it all.

And i think that's it. My feet hurt and I'm too tired to think. Lucky that I work at 2 pm tomorrow. Yay for sleeping in!
and that's all i've got for now.
