in fair verona;

Well, apparently the Rome family decided to "go another direction"... which kind of weirded me out because the mom was all like LET US KNOW IMMEDIATELY if you choose another family, etc. And now she's like.. jk.
BUT.
This means I get to live in Verona in January! I went ahead and emailed the Verona family and told them that I would officially like to be their au pair. :) So.. yeah. I hope they reply with something happy soon.
I could have kept looking at other families for another 2 weeks or so, because the only ultimatum I was given by the Verona family was that I needed to let them know my decision by early August. .. But, I feel good about them. I think we will get along.
Also, I would rather have the fall to focus on getting ready to leave the country and getting all my visa stuff and packing and such done, along with the whole having 2 jobs thing, instead of being like GAHHH SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABIES the whole time. I like preparation when it comes to things like this.. especially since this will be my FIRST time going abroad.

But yeah. Verona, here I come!!! :DDD (Unless of course that family decided to "go another direction" too... -_- lol)

Catering was a HOT MESS AND A HALF yesterday... I won't say why because this blog is public, but I will say that it was definitely not the fault of anyone on the catering staff. lol. We had to have a baker who used to work at our store come and make souflees for us.. out of the kindness of his heart.. and that is just the tip of the iceberg. It was completely ridiculous.

And when I was done I busted the hell out of there and scarfed down a sandwich, checked the internet, napped for like an hour, and then went to my other job for 7.5 hours. Things are not too eventful there, and there are lots of times when there's really not a whole lot to do. Since I am so used to running around like a crazy person (or at least bantering with witty coworkers I am bffish with), it can get quite boring for me there. However, it was really not bad.. we did a lot of accessory boxes and got several racks of clothes out, and I was a cashier for a lot of it so that was nice. And closing was odd.. kind of tedious, but it didn't take too long.

Anyway, there is not a lot more I need to say. I have to get ready for work (again) soon.
