So, today was all in all a suckity kind of day. But on the bright side, the test I thought I had today was moved to next tuesday. More study time, Yay!

So I get up this morning feeling all kinds of crappy. I have been doing so since last week. I don't know why, I just feel off. Last thursday I paid a visit to the ER due to chest pains. I was suffering a huge panic attack, and evidentally I strained some muscles in my chest. It still bothers me, but not as much. That just means I need to be careful and try to avoid lifting heavy objects. I should also avoid twisting my body in uncomfortable and unnatural positions. No problem, right?   -_-; So Very Wrong...

Pepsi and Coke delivered today. Which I thought was fine. We also had a delivery from Frito Lay, Lance, and Atlantic Dominion. Oh, Atlantic Dominion was fun. Lots O Fun. Regular bag o laughs! Over a thousand dollars in merchandise arrived from A.D. from a trade show that we went to in march or february. I can't remember. Maybe April. Anyways, all this crap comes in today, AFTER I placed an order for a couple of items yesterday. I wouldn't have placed that order if I had known that the trade show order was coming in today. One would think that if you already have an order coming, the person repeatedly looking up your account to place a new order would tell you that , Yeah, Yeah, an order is already coming in for you! But noooo, that would just be way too convinient. *sigh* It wasn't a big order that I placed anyway, so It was no biggie. Sorta.

The tradeshow delivery was HUGE. I mean holy cow! Between me and my co-worker, we managed to get most of the stuff put away. I put together a cardboard rack for a crapload of moon pies. It was actually a lot more frustrating than I thought it would be. Go Figure. And all in all, I had my hands full just trying to get this order put out on the shelves, or put away under the counters. At the end of the day, I've only got a few things here and there and the trash is already taken care of. All I have to do know is put out some soda, right? And then I can put the few boxes left over from the trade show order in the hall closet so I can free up some floor space.... Yeah, that's not going to happen. Why is that, you ask? Because... Mr. Pepsi order taker guy got a little too happy with his little order taker thingy. The entire closet is over run with pepsi products. Every where. And all the important stuff that goes quickly is, you guessed it, at the bottom!

So I do what I can, what with my back and chest all out of whack (god I feel old saying that). I take a little bit from here and there, and I fill up a few empty spots. The rest can wait. -_-; Oh another order will not be taken this week. Hell no. And if that bald headed smart ass thinks he's going to force me into once a week orders, he's got another thing coming. I can't take having that closet get so full all the damned time.

Did I mention that my store is now short staffed? Oh yes, things just keep getting better and better. Its times like these that I truly do miss danielle. She was a pain in the ass with all her drama and sharing Waaaaaay too much info, but atleast she got the job done and was there. My school work is suffering because I have to train this girl and walk her step by step for some things over the phone. This takes place in the mornings. During my class time. As it is, I am going to have to take an incomplete for typography because with all the errands I have to run for the store, my projects aren't getting the time they need! God I wish my mother was here. Then atleast she'd be able to hold this girls hand. She's good people, and it's only her first month, but getting short one person right when the boss goes on vaycay is Really inconvinient. But I hired a friend of mine to come and take care of the heavy lifting after work for me. He's always strapped for cash, so I don't have to twist his arm. I mean, really, fifty bucks a week for hauling around drinks for an hour a day. Heck, that's pretty sweet if you ask me. Danielle was getting paid minimum wage for the same job.. granted she had a lot more time during the week, but still.

But with all this hectic activity going around, I fine myself really really REALLY wanting to get out of this job, and seriously. I know Danielle wanted to be a pharmacists assistant (that lasted for all of a day), but I think that I could do it. Sitting in front of a computer all day filling prescriptions, hell why not? But with such and "easy" SOUNDING job, you know there are catches. For one, I'm sure the boredom factor can be hell, and I know that irate customers are not lacking in the pharmacy department. But it's just one of those things you can't get away from no matter how hard you try.

You're always going to have to service someone...

And I'm stuck in a computer lab rendering my little fish movie. Its just a swimming fish, but I made it so you can  loop the movie. Hopefully it will play without any jumping. Its much less complicated than having a walking figure. There's a pattern on the background that might jump, but here's hoping it won't. I still have to finish up a logo and put music to it, and I still have to work on that typography project. I also have yet another project to do for computer graphics. And now I can't remember what it was. Grrrrr. I'm just mildly miffed I suppose. All week, it's been rainy and dreary and overcast. And Today, of all days, when I'm stuck inside working, the sun decides to come out. Wooo. -_-; 

Wow,,,, I should never have come here.... So we came in. We got lost. We found the hotel. Well, we coulod see the hotel, but we just couldn't get to it. Finally we get to the hotel. Check in. go down stairs, look around, get accosted by fan boys and fan girls and just get al laround annoyed. But its about midnight, so I just suck it up. It takes about ten minutes to get an elevator. And it doesn't matter if you're going up and the elevator is going down, you get on the elevator. Because goodness knows when the next one will be here. At least I'm thankful for the down and relaxation time. At least thats a good thing. I didn't sell shit, hardly anyone so much as looked at my work. Ofcourse I only finished three pieces to display. Ugh, talk about frustration. But whatever. =) I got a very spiffy Techno CD and a How to draw Yaoi Book from the Dealers Room. No no no, I'm not into Yaoi... not  really. But I have a problem drawing men, and I figure that a Yaoi book is the best place to get the most attention to detail on how to draw the male form. I met Ananth, the writer for Apple Geeks. Hawk was there, but he had gone out to lunch. *shrug* no biggie. They work out of DC. I had no idea! How cool is that! =D I bought some really nice prints in Artists alley. There is one artist that I MUST keep tabs on. Her work is GREAT!!!! The Website is www.cordeval.com. I am not going to say what she draws, you will have to check it out yourself. It is just that Bad Ass ;-)

ANyhoo, I'm tired. Went to bed late. got up early. You know the shpiel. And I want to go back to the dealers room tomorrow to pick up another CD and maybe another art book. We shall see. Hell, maybe I'll go all out and actually buy some anime or Manga. *GASP*

So I'm still in richmond, and I was SUPPOSED to go and see my brother today, but he's a poo head so I didn't go. I don't know what the deal is, but he said that some rabble rousers got him and the rest of the crew in trouble, so they lost their pass. But as much as I love him, I just don't believe him. I don't know why but it just feels like there's something he isn't telling me. I don't know if he just doesn't want to see me by himself. I don't know.... But he says that when his wife and her daughter come down for thanksgiving, that they will come to the beach and see us. I'm just so over it. I don't want to give up on my brother because everyone needs that strong shoulder, or atleast someone for support. But sometimes its just difficult. Maybe its that the time of the month is near, but I just feel like something is up and problems are a foot.

  In other news, it is official. Shrimp and my stomache do not like eachother. At all. Which sucks for me because I love shrimp. And crab cakes, but it looks like I will be denied those pleasures from now on. Oh well, there are plenty of other food groups to choose from. And after wallowing, two doses of Alka seltzer plus cold, and a nice hot shower, I'm starting to feel a good deal better. I could go for something hot in my stomache. Something along the lines of Tea anyways. And now I'm going to get going to look up plane tickets, and then head back to my hole and cuddle up with my book and goodies. Toodles

Well, today came and today went. Thank God. I love my friend Angie. She's like a sister to me. But planning parties is just not my thing. I was up and down and all around. I sat down a total of six times today, and thats including right now. I spent a TON of money, and a lot of it wasn't even mine. I would not have been able to make this party without my mother. I mean she really pulled me through it. Without her, there would have been much less food, less decorations, and no where near as nice a cake. I am a broke bitch. Its ridiculous. I really need the money to start coming in. And I need to get organized. Organization and me just don't mix. And I need to get organized, expecially at this job, because I need to keep track of my upsells. BUt ugh, I am not throwing another shower for a while. A LONG while. If a party doesn't have alcohol, I'm not throwing it. But to tell the truth, it was nice. I was glad that a lot of people showed up. No where near as many as I invited, but I don't care. Everyone had a seat, and that was the important part. Angie got a lot of presents, she got her fair share of embarrassment, and she got the shower that she wanted so desperately. Mom kept telling me that next time I need a month to prepare and  a bunch of stuff like that. I told her No, hell no. There isn't going to be a next time. Its already been decided that Caron is throwing Tays baby shower, and  after that, the next shower I plan on attending is my own....Or Tay and Angie's other showers, because I know that more babies are coming along. I'm not going to be hatching anything in the near future. My Feet Are KILLING ME!!! I've been running around non stop since Friday. But now its over. Thank good glory god its over. And again, thanks to mom, she helped me clean up behind myself so the cleaning afterwards wouldn't take too long. The living room is good, food is put away. I've got pasta salad to last me a month.... And my friend is happy. so all is good. I'm exhausted. But I work from 5pm to 10pm tomorrow, so there's no sense in waking up too early. But I do need to do stuff tomorrow. And I can't recall for the life of me what it is. Ah well, I'm going to go and put the last few things away... right after I finish playing, Cyber Psychologist. Jeez, I like helping people.... but sometimes... its just too much.
