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...

Ahhh, so its been a while ain't it. =) I'm holed up in school right now. I just finished up a project. I feel kind of weird because it's still daylight. I'm  so used to getting finished late late late at night. But its good because if I'm lucky, I'll be home in time to go to a party. yay! I have to go to an office max to get this printed today. or a kinkos or something like that. 

SO, things have been rather busy as of late. Mercedes (my co-worker at the gift shop) got fired, so I have had to work every evening for the last two weeks. It sucks, but I'm getting paid. And hopefully I will get paid even more when I start working on the new website. I'm going to make a web site for the gift shop. Its most likely just going to be a little something on Bravenet. I like Bravenet better than angelfire. SO I'll be taking plenty o pictures this weekend. And either tomorrow or saturday I will finally have the new computer set up. Internet or not. I can always take the lap top to my moms house and piggy-back if I get really desperate. Things with Mike have been going great. I had a bit of a break down the other day, but he really helped me out. I'm pmressed by the simple fact he didn't dump me then and there. But we've been adjusting to "couple status" and things are ok. Both he and I have had out hard ships and as he said, we're both coming from very guarded positions. Hell, for a while, I wasn't quite sure how to be a proper girlfriend. Mostly I just sit there, enjoy his company and try not to freak out over the little things. If there's anything else I should be doing, please drop me a note. =^_^= lol. We don't hang out too often. Mostly the weekend is when we get to see eachother. We'll talk on the phone during the week days, but his job is starting to tax his nerves, so the conversations are short. Sunday he bought me a cute little case for my cell phone. Its pretty and its red. =^_^= I like it. It fits nice and snug. Now all I need is to get my damned phone fixed/exchanged again. -_-; I love my little phone, but its been rather frustrating so far. Alltel is great, I get local service in places I never did before, but I haven't been able to send or recieves pictures for almost a month now. First I was told it was a problem with the network. And now they tell me its a problem with the phone. Grrr >:( But hopefully things will get straightened out soon enough.

Nekocon, a local anime convention, is happening this weekend. I was going to go, but I am so broke its ridiculous. So, I'm going to have to skip out on that. It sucks, I really wanted to go. But oh well. I'll live.

HappyFeet is coming out on the 17th! =^_^= Mike outright refuses to go with me. =( But he did say he will buy two tickets so that me and my friend Tay can go. =D Which is awesome. I get to see a cute movie for free X3 Yay! Things things some boys will go through to avoid girly movies. :-p lol. Well, thats all I have the energy to share right now. I think I'm going to go and veg in front of the TV for a half an hour before bed. Or *gasp* might even read. I should be working on my novel though. Blah. National Novel Writing month started yesterday. I've barely writen 500 words. But I have started, which counts for something. =) I'll work on it some more tomorrow morning. And I've got this weekend. I'm going to try and stop by best buy to ge a  thumb drive, that way I can take my novel to work with me and work on it on saturdays. =3 Teehee. Well, off to bed I go. Tata!

Its a bright and shiney monday morning. The roads are practically empty due to the holiday. its sure to be a nice cool day, with a wonderful let up from the rain. And where am I? Trapped... Inside a dark EMPTY hospital, no windows, and I've had three people come in in the last 45 minutes. Only two of them bought anything. How Lame is this! I'm basically here to accept packages. I swear, I'm just about ready to steal a pillow from one of the closets along with a blanket, and hell, why not a stretcher, so I can nap in fron to f the door and the postal guy can wake me when he gets here. Freaking purses and a bunch of POO! Ugh. I swear, if I had atleast One Window, this would be more bearable. But I'm stuck here for eight hours, just listening to the damned refrigerators humming. I tried stocking, but I was done in five minutes. -_-; Grr! This! See, mom could have had the packages sent laster so they could arrive Not on columbus day. As for CocaCola... we're not really lacking in their department anyway. As it is, the retarded rep doesn't send us what we need. SO we could go until thursday. *grumble grumble gumble* *Bitch bitch bitch* *Complain Complain Complain* I don't feel any better, but atleast I've got this internet connection to keep me entertained for a short while. The only thing is, its Dial up, its AOHell, and all I've got on this account is 4 hours, which I used up last week, so I really don't want to use it all that much. *sigh* Bloody hell. WHatever. I think I'll go read the smut rags for a while. I already read People and Intouch last week. Woo. If all else fails, at least there's Crossword puzzles.

*SIGH*

I can feel it. I trick myself into thinking everything is ok, and then BLAM! I just want to crawl under my covers and stay there. If I didn't need the money, I'd seriously think about calling in today. I don't want to go into work and deal with other peoples problems. I've been at my other job all morning. My legs and hips hurt. I'm going to be sitting on my ass all night talking with weirdos and strangers. *sigh* but in order for me to get paid for yesterday, I've got to go in today. Rat fink bastards. -_-; I just really don't want to go back and sit next to that vile foul mouthed woman again. She is this short yet thick (not fat) black woman who seems to come off as a confrontational butch lesbian. Honestly, if it wasn't for her high voice and her breasts, she could pass for a guy. God knows she behaves like one, and a rowdy one at that. I swear, she's baiting me. And so far, I've just been sitting next to her for one day. One Day! I don't even know her damned name. I have decided that I'm just going to ask her once. When the swearing flares up again... and I'm pretty sure it will, I am going to ask her to chill. I don't want to lose my sales because of some loud obnoxious potty mouth. After that, I'm just going to tell my supervisor and, if she doesn't do anything, I'm moving, wether its authorized or not, I don't care.

*sigh*... Its rainging again today. I really wish I could stay home and just enjoy it while I can. I hate being so tired...

 Its wednesday! Hoofrigginray -_-; Just that much closer to Sunday, baby day, for someone special. I am still no where near ready for it either. I've still go a million things to do and not enough time to do them in. I have GOT to get those invites out TODAY, On their front doors, no question about it. And to make matters worst, I told the special girl that I'd go to the movies with her tonight. How ther hell am I going to manaage?! AND I need to go to TJ Max to talk with her supervisor. -_-; How do I get myself into these things.  Anyways...

Next Topic. Work.... How do you deal with someone at work who annoys the royal hell out of you? I mean, this person is a great person, but... The only word I can really think of for a description is... Obnoxious.  She's great to talk to, but not when we're in the middle of training and I'm trying to listen to the trainer. It just... ugh. I'm really happy for, she's had some great things come into her life, but the times she chooses to express her joy aren't always appropriate. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but you don't need to butt in to everyones conversation to put in your two cents. And its the workplace, we're all adults. If someone says something like "I'll give you a ride in my box" don't laugh and try to point out the non existent subliminal message to everyone in the room. And for you perverts out there, it was the trainer, offering a ride to a co-worker. The trainer drives a Scion, and they do look like little boxes... or in my opinion, toaster ovens. Anyway, a few others caught the "box" thing, but they didn't say a word. Smiled to themselves maybe, but other than that, nothing. And she insists on talking to me all the time. I would suppose that the only other people in the training class that listen to her are myself and another girl. I'm just thankful that this is the last week of training, and as of monday, we'll be on different teams. Which kind of sucks because I like the group lead that for her team, and I'd love to transfer over if there was a seat available, but... whatever. I already got a cute stuffed owl to put on my desk, so I will just stick around with them. My team name is the Night Owls, just incase you didn't catch that. I think the thing that bothers me most about this girl is that I'm reminded a LOT of how I used to be, and I really don't like it. But like I said, I won't have to worry about it for too much longer. 
  Well I'm off to go and get ready for work. Toodles!
