So I moved in yesterday and everything went pretty smoothly. I've actually been having a good time so far. Yesterday we had five hours of meetings and dinner together. Today we went to a place called Prairie View that is like a rehab center but has a huge obstacle course attached to it. We went and did most of them and did team building exercies with our groups. Tomorrow we have four hours of one meeting, dinner and then SAB will have a meeting.
Hopefully my room mate and I get along, she moves in Sunday!

And I took some pictures of my room. It's still a mess and I haven't put up ANY decorations yet because I've been so tired! And of course half of the room is empty due to my room mate not being here yet!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?

I have two tattoos. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted and plan on getting more.
As of right now I have a tribal symbol on my lower back and an Aries symbol on the inside of my wrist.

 

The Aries symbol has obvious meanings but the tribal one has no direct meaning. However, I got it on my

18th birthday and it was a sort of rebelling experience. I was really happy at that point in my life and whenever I look at I remember that and it gives me hope that things will start looking up. I think the actual tattoo itself fits perfectly for the location -- unlike chinese symbols on the lowerback or a butterfly,etc I think those have been really overused, but to each their own

 

 

I plan on getting a black panther, for my father, he got one when he was overseas in the war, probably on where my pants hit on my hips in the front. And I plan on getting three stars, red white and blue and my mother initials, probably on the top of one of my feet. I've also been considering getting something on my shoulders. I love tattoos, I think they're inspiring and wonderful:)

I am so ready to move back to college.

So fucking ready.

How cute were you as a baby/child? Let's see those baby pics!

 

Pretty damn cute!

Where do I start?

I'm a cashier at a hardware store, True Value to be exact. I've worked there for three and a half years now, so I have some seniority along with the fact that I know pretty much everything about my job and if you ask me a question, I probably have the answer. Anyways, we have horrible cashiers and they always show up late or call in sick or just don't use common sense and make tons of errors.

So. Today. I came in to work 8-4 for someone who needed the day off. This means I haven't had a day off in exactly 14 days. FOURTEEN DAYS. I am close to having overtime this week and they pretty much forbid that. Well, I get there at 8 and the kid who is training with another cashier gets there at 8. Around 8:15 the cashier calls in and says her eye is red and she might be in later if she can get to a doctor. Yeah right, she never came in. During this mess, I realize that the cashier who is supposed to be in Earthcare hasn't shown up either. I tell my boss and she calls the lady who then proceeds to say she will "try to make it in soon". She shows up an hour and a half late.

Today turned out to be pretty much a busy ass day. We closed at 6 and I was supposed to leave at 4. I couldn't leave because the girl never came in and the kid who was training left at 1. They had to pull the cashier that came in late from Earthcare and throw her over in Hardware with me. Oh yeah--did I mention I HATE this lady? She is ALWAYS late from her lunch, calls in late pretty much every time she works, acts like she is a miss know it all and get this--she is a grown woman with two kids! She drives me INSANE, she has no respect for her coworkers! Being late and calling in repeatedly is disrespecting the people you work with. Anyways, I stayed until 5 and luckily my boss loves me, so she made the other cashier stay until close by herself, which isn't supposed to happen.

 

And did I mention that I had HALF the sales for the ENTIRE day on MY drawer? We pulled about $9,000 today and I had $4,808 on my drawer. That is ridiculous. It should never be that lopsided.

I REALLY need to let that out. I'm so pissed. I do a lot for that store. I ALWAYS come in if someone calls in, I'm always the person stuck staying late and it seems like I always get left at the registers to help all the customers. I really deserve a raise, but I won't get one because I'm only here for holiday and summers because of college. bahh!!!

That sums up my day pretty much. If the girl who had a "red eye" calls in sick tomorrow, I told them they could call me, but I'm really hoping they don't. This was supposed to be my first Saturday off since SEPTEMBER! Can you believe I haven't had a Saturday or Sunday off since September? That's ridiculous.

I'm going to bed soon. I don't even want to think about how much packing I have to do and how I still need to read those books and buy liter for my guinea pig.

boo @ life

What's one thing that you'd like to get done this weekend? Is there anything holding you back?

I need to read two books! They're for Student Activities Board and I need them read by the 13th (when I go back)! I know I can just sit down and get them both done in a couple of hours, but I work all day Saturday and Sundays I NEVER accomplish anything haha! But I also need to start organizing and packing to go back to my dorm. Basically get my ass in gear so I'm not rushing around like I did last year.

So I pretty much love Judy, because she gave me an invite to vox! =)

I go back to school in one week. Summer just buzzed right by this year and I can't believe I'm going to be a sophomore in college. It's insane. I've been coming in to work extra hours for people that can't do it this week so I'm up to about 35-37 hours when I started with 22. One of my coworkers has called in ALL week (she had about 32 hours) because she's "sick".  She isn't sick, she parties too much and has hangovers and doesn't want to come to work the next day. It's driving me nuts because I get stuck picking up the slack.

I had chicken nuggets for the first time in a LONG time today. They brought back childhood memories---is that weird haha? Tonight I think I'm getting Carlos O Kellys take out and going to a friends house for one last girls night. We might go out dancing afterwords. I'm going to miss my girls :(

That's all. I'm sleepy but I've been craving bottlecaps all day.  You know, the candy from willy wonka? haha.
