It was a good day. I threw 2 new pieces in class - an assymetric bowl and a pitcher. Plus I trimmed 2 of the pieces I did last week. I hung around after class to get some info about kilns from my teacher - I don’t think I can afford one just yet. When I came home, I replanted the 5 concrete planters that I moved from the yard to the front porch. They’re all full of mums and pansies now - bright spots of color across the front of the house. I’m pleased. Then I took a load of garbage and recycling to the convenience center, came home and fed the critters, showered, and headed into town with my sweetie. We picked up his meds and some dog food, had dinner, swung by Lowe’s for a few things, and got back a little while ago. I’m chilling in my fuzzy robe. Tomorrow, I’ve got a mess o’bulbs to get planted, and I may do some raking. The weather was gorgeous today, and we’re expecting more of the same tomorrow, tho slightly cooler. Yep, it was a good day! ---

Fall has arrived in Florida! It’s still pretty hot but the evenings and mornings have been getting into the 70’s and even though the day is still hot there’s a bit of a breeze. It’s lovely after months of searing, eyeball melting, brain frying heat. So I did some stuff outside today and I got stung by two wasps for my trouble. _grumble_ ---

Yeah, I know I’ve been real chatty all week, but I had to stop by and mention that on the front page of today’s paper was an article that Trade Joe’s is coming to Newport News. I know y’all will be excited… ---

I found out this afternoon that I may be brunching with my BIL’s fiancee, whom I most emphatically do not like. This could be bad. I’ll report back. ---

Why am I awake at this time? My body knows not of any times before 9 AM. I’m scheduled to work at 7 AM. Pray for the poor people who visit McDonald’s today, lest they get M&M’s on their Egg Mcmuffins. ---

No M&M’s on sandwiches. It was stressful, though, because for the last half of breakfast (well, from 9 to 10:30), we were running 9 percent labor. Not fun. And I was the only person at the front who could legally cook hashbrowns. ---

Hashbrown cooking requires special certification?? 😕😕 ---

Given current AR labor laws, employees under 16 are not allowed to cook hashbrowns or fries (as well as a large list of other things). Since the little kiddies don’t work during the week, I get stuck with all of them on the weekend. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Hashbrown cooking requires special certification?? 😕😕 I thought this said “hashbrownies” and I thought, gosh, that’s out of character for FCM. :eek: 😃 Anything using a steam table/fryer may reqiure certification and you may have to be 18 to be covered by the restaurant’s liability policy. My WAG. I now return you all to your regularly scheduled hash browns, already in progress on many of the SDMB stations. ---

Whoa, I didn’t respond to that. You have to be 16 to man the deep-fryers and to put the cooked hashbrowns in their cute little bags. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guest-mmp-iii-hells-wedding-abridged/325549.md?page=9)
