I picked up my police check from the station today. Lo and behold my criminal record is non existent (as if that’s a surprise) and I’m not a sexual offender (I could have told them that before hand). It seems like a waste of money for the school to require this, but I suppose if we didn’t pay for the checks ourselves, they’d have to.

My Dad also turned fifty nine on Thursday, so after some brainstorming Jake and I developed an idea for a World of Warcraft / Age of Conan cake. (Well, technically it could be any game that has “level ups”.)

My Dad felt much better about reaching level fifty nine over age fifty nine.

After several hours of playing World of Warcraft today, I finally convinced myself that it was time to get a move on and work on my domain.

It isn’t the hand made layout I expected to put on my site, but none the less I finally have something besides an ugly template that is unique and made by me. This layout is still a work in progress, but at least it’s nice enough the way it is right now.

It is an edited version of the K2 template, and I’m very happy with it.

This website is about my writing anyway, not about how much I remember how to edit every aspect of my website just using a CSS file!

Be ready for some actual content being added to the blog!

Five Foot One .net has officially reached 100 unique human visitors (therefore not including robots, especially my most frequent visitor Google Bot).

So, to mark the occasion I have decided to make my own layout, instead of using a template. I have two ideas, and hopefully I’ll be able to pull at least one of them off. I have no idea how long this layout will take me, anywhere from one day to several weeks I’m sure; it all depends on how motivated I stay.

Thankfully, I have survived another day working in the fast food industry. Overall it wasn’t a horrible day. I had a few stupid customers, but more good ones then bad ones.

The two worst customers today all involved Ice Cappuccino’s. The first guy was upset after seeing how “small” our large Ice Cap’s are. I showed him our medium cups and small to show him the difference, and he began to go on about how much bigger our mediums are then our larges. I explained to him that at my Tim Horton’s we’re in the process of switching to different (more cheaply made) cups that are taller then the current ones, but skinnier. We’ve run out of the old medium cups quicker then the smalls and larges, so we are using the new medium cups. The man would not accept my answer. I put his large Ice Cap into a medium cup to prove the difference in width. He still didn’t understand. He stormed off after further discussion where he enlightened me that he will “never buy another one of those here again”. Good.

I also had a lady who ordered two Ice Cap Supremes and was upset when I didn’t make them instantly because she had “places to go” and was “in a rush”, and complained to my supervisor how slow I was. Luckily my supervisor knew this lady was being ridiculous and defended me. Seriously, if you have places to go, don’t order the most time intense product in the store.

I’ve done a few more updates on the site, still not an awful lot. Once I get things a little more organized and complete (and I don’t have to work) I’ll make my own layout.
