No beanie today

GRR.

Tomorrow, I will call again, even though I am sure that they will say "Friday".

I wish I had applied somewhere else. I don't even want to be in a program this disorganized, but I really have no other ideas on what to do with myself. I'd be tempted to do one of those teach in Japan things, except that I hate people and thus don't play well with roommates. Also, I can't eat soy (although that might change after I see a gastro on June 9th), which would making living in an Asian country where I don't speak the language an exercise in frustration and illness. My uncle thinks I should, though, and started trying to compare it to when he went over to Vietnam to fight in the war, which I thought was a really odd comparison.

Also, my family shouldn't try to eat in restaurants anymore. 4 out of 7 of us had crazy special orders, 3 of which were due to food sensitivities. (We left a big tip.)

I seriously think that there should be a restaurant that specializes in food sensitivities. Every menu item would have a detailed ingredient list, and if you called ahead, they could special prepare your food without any forbidden ingredients (soybean oil, milk, etc.).

I've often thought about starting one. The big problem is that I bet the liability insurance would be sky-high if we actually wanted to guarantee the absence of a given allergen, since if we were wrong someone could die or become quite ill (I'm thinking peanut allergies in particular).

The other problems with me personally starting one involve a lack of money or any training in running a restaurant, although I am at least a pretty good cook.
