 Had a fortifying breakfast with the Beautiful Manien.
 |


 Though I worked a little later than her. |


 In my department, Wednesday was a day of small orders.


 A constant stream of small orders.


 While my manager did paperwork upstairs. |


 Also upstairs, Manien was not having a good day at all. |


 Down on the floor, my shift went by quickly
if nothing else.
 |

 Manien left work at four, to go to an orientation at the YWCA where she had recently joined.
At five I got to head home for some downtime.
 |

 I didn't end up getting my downtime.
 |
 
 Manien's orientation hadn't materialized and a woman she asked for help was mean and unhelpful.
After her awful day at work Manien just wasn't up to dealing with more frustration and disappointment.
 I ran to buy some soothing beer (stat!).
   
 |

 Then I made bobotie for dinner |  |

It is a ground meat dish from South Africa. |
 |
 
Manien is originally from South Africa. |
 |

For best results, have bobotie with chutney, coconut and sliced bananas. |
 |
 I know! Bananas and meat?! It sounds crazy, but tastes great. |


 We watched a crappy movie with Hugh Jackman.
|


 Realizing only at the end that it had been made in Vancouver.

  
The beer consumption was light, because Thursday was to be a big day.
