I used to write interesting journal entries, but that was when I had a job to bitch about. Now I am happy and poor and bored and boring.

The thing about being "professional" and giving two weeks notice when quitting your job is that then you have to actually GO to your crappy job that you hate for TWO MORE WEEKS. Which sucks, really.
Here's a little song about my day:
I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB.
I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB.
I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB I HATE MY JOB.

On second thought, I don't think I'm going to buy that Peaches cd. I downloaded half the songs and all but one are terrible. Particularily bad is the duet between her and Iggy Pop: they shout extreemely forced self-referential rhymes back and forth over canned guitar/drums. It's painful to listen to. Really.
I think part of the problem is that her first cd was amateurish...

Your on my friends list? did i do that somehow?
newwavesoldier:
you have some cool taste as well. since you like The Faint, i'll tell you that I'm working on a cover of Violent. right now it's at an early stage (no vocals), but most of the instrumentation is there (so it sounds very The Faint/Kareoke). if you want, I can email it to you. it should be done with vocals in about 2 weeks (school/job permitting). one man band is hard...
The new Peaches cd comes out tomorrow. I am all over that shit. It's so hyped, though. I feel like I should wait and read some reviews before I spend 15 bucks on it, but I know it's not going to happen. I'm not that patient. Even if it sucks, I'm still going to go see her in October.

I just had this really good bowl of Baked Potato Soup. It had chunks of potatoes with the skins still on, cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions. This is seriously the highlight of my day.
Well, that's not entirely true. I went to DC to see Chuck Palahniuk read from his new book. Supposedly people have been passing out at his readings because the selections...

When yer done with this A, consider me as plan B, k?
Kidding, but yeah, pap smears sound awful, i feel for ya. But no insurance, honey? A junker car that's about to break down god knows where? And no cell phone in case of an emergency?
Tsk tsk, do what you can to get bi, i guess.... Also, you can get cell phones that can dial 911 without paying a monthly bill, just keep them charged and handy in an emergency.
I wish you better luck

So I bought this plant, this wierd little cactus-thing, recently. It's the strangest plant I have ever seen. It has these fat green fuzzy leaves that are roundish, but taper into four or five little claw things... it's hard to describe, but they look exactly like the paws of some kind of small fuzzy green animal. Imagine a plant made up of a cluster of...

that's the other thing that I forgot: the little paws are in pairs so they look like they're PRAYING or something. I killed the cute fuzzy PRAYING animal-plant thing. I feel WAY worse about that than about that stupid bird.

Today I made a Plum Brown-Sugar Upside-Down Cake to bring to work tomorrow (plums were on sale 3 lbs for $5). It's really pretty. $3.00 a slice. People better fucking buy it. I'm going to get out the glass cake stand-thingy and have it right there on the counter so everyone will have to look at it.

Oh My Gawd, babygirl..yer swamped it sounds like. It may sound trite and bullshitty, but you'll get the hang of this..meaning, confidence, routine and a take no shit attitude. First of all, once you get a day off, go to the local grocery and tell them of your situation. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to have a delivery boy bring you what you need daily. Especially if you're a cafe' and buying things daily from them, in quantity. Secondly buy a CD player with a set of headphone ear thingys you can listen to while you set-up in the morning, clean, etc. If someone comes up and absolutely needs something, and they're your boss or something, give them time, but even then, tell them you're busy working and continue on. Thirdly, Break time is essential and the law. Your employer could get in a lot of trouble if they ever made you work without breaks and overtime. Bottomline, if they're not making you do that, take your breaks accordingly. If they are making you work without a break, contact the DOL (Dept of Labor) and alert them to that nonsense.
Finally....stress gets you nowhere, so keep tabs on that. One human can only do so much so no worries, ok?
OK??
I'd say, "you can do this" but it seems you already ARE doing it and doing it well considering the circumstances and pressures involved. I doubt there's much you can't do
At the very least, do it until you simply can't anymore, if things don't get better. Take from it what you can, learn, think about what it might look like on your resume.
P.S. Vent here any time you like. I loved reading this journal, and i hope my ideas at least trigger an idea of your own that helps out.

Oh god my feet hurt SO BAD. 8 hours on Monday, 11 1/2 hours yesterday and 10 hours today.... on my feet the WHOLE time, no lunch break, no rest... I need to get some better shoes. Or better posture. Or both.

One of my best friends just moved out to Balti on Sunday. Evidentally this medical school she's going to is more important then me. 
And to think... I want to quit my job. Go figure, because you know I'll be able to get nothing myself for months on end.
