- The supervisory job posting was listed yesterday and… it’s hella intense. I plan to to get my resume done this weekend to send to peers to review Monday. The application is due July 8th!
- Steven and I decided to watch City Slickers this week because we both remember loving it as children. Um, why did we like this film? It is NOT for children, and as a vegan adult, it has some animal violence and themes in it that I don’t care to watch. (As a vegan adult, what was I thinking, watching a film about a cattle drive?! Come on, Kim.)
- Speaking of being vegan, what a time to be alive – there are so many vegan options now! It’s exciting so many chain places have vegan fake meats – Dunkin’, Burger King, and Starbucks all have a vegetarian breakfast sandwich now. Is the entire sandwich vegan? No. Is this a step in the right direction? Yes. Does whining about the sandwich not being 100% vegan on Facebook make people hate vegans even more? Yes. GAH. (I was going to post the comment I am talking about, but that’s not very nice…)
- Sarcasm – I love it when I express my feelings to someone and am told they aren’t valid/that my perception is wrong. Fabulous. What was I thinking, that I know how I feel? Ha! Ha ha ha. Guess that means I need to change the parameters of that relationship and what I expect from it.
- On to two positive things – Bobbi surprised me Tuesday by bringing a chai to my house! OMG! Best surprise ever! Thank you, Bobbi!
- And today is my massage day! Woot! I need it. Now I am hella stressed about this application, along with my muscles needing massage from running so damn much.

Fingers and toes all crossed for your job application!!! Best of luck – I am rooting for you!!! Perfect timing for your massage, indeed.
The best thing I remember from City Slickers, which I also really liked when it came out, is that song they sang: “Rolling rolling rolling, man my ass is swollen…” which I still sing from time to time. But other than that, I can imagine that it’s not so funny anymore. And I can’t bear to watch movies where bad stuff happens to animals anymore, so it would definitely not be for me.
Totally on the same page with you on the vegan options at fast food places. Even if it’s not what I would choose to eat, it is so great that things are moving the right direction (rolling rolling rolling…) and that people have the option to eat something whereby no animals were harmed (I guess you could ask Starbucks to hold the egg and the cheese?)
Thank you! It’s so intimidating but I am like “Kim, you already do all these things, you qualify. Calm down and find examples of how you do.”
Ha! Ha ha ha. Billy Crystal is pretty funny in it, that’s for sure! Yeah, I just wish it wasn’t animal focused.
Yes! Things are definitely moving in the right direction with options! Ha, that was another argument in the comments – people were saying they asked for it w/o egg and cheese on a vegan roll and baristas said no and blah blah blah.
You totally qualify!!! (Okay, I know I am no expert and I understand it’s intimidating but I have great faith in you and your abilities!) You will be able to show them that.
Too bad the baristas couldn’t modify the sandwich – it’s probably one of those prepackaged things, already made up. But if people keep asking perhaps the company will respond and offer something that is 100% vegan at some point.
Thank you! Your encouragement helps!!! I will be able to show them!
I think that is what is going on. But if people ask NICELY maybe they will make changes in the future. IF THEY ASK NICELY. Ha.
Good luck with the job application and everything that comes after that! I believe in you!! And I really hope you get it and find fulfillment in the role 🙂
Oh man, that breakfast sandwich sounds SO good!! I guess it’s a good thing I’m working from home these days, because I’d be so tempted to go to Starbucks and get that sandwich on my way to work, like, all the time otherwise. Haha.
Thank you very much! <3
Doesn't it? Even looking at the deconstructed image of it now, I want it. Ha.
Good luck with applying to the new position! I have complete confidence in you!
I definitely want to try the new vegetarian option from Starbucks. Eating less meat is something I’m constantly thinking about, and I think this could be a good step for me. Hopefully!
I hope the massage was everything you wanted it to be!
Thank you!!!!
Let me know if you try it! It looks delish. And let me know if you need ideas for eating less meat 😉 <3
It was! Now I just need like 5 more 😉
