How psyched am I? America's Next Top Model AND Project Runway on the same night. ROCK!

Finally got the file cabinet of my dreams. Huzzah. I've been filing and doing laundry all night. It's my last day off for the rest of the week, natch. Of course, I get to spend it doing housework. I did have a fantastic shrimp and pinapple quesadilla from Dos...

Tired. Working two jobs is hard to get used to. But, a light at the end of the tunnel-- the freakin' County put me in the top hiring pool for an office assistant gig. I would totally dig not having to work my ass to the bone for a decent wage. Am I done with minimum wage jobs? I would love being able to have...

Man, oh, man, I am retail therapy'd out. We baked a cake last night, which was really delightful. Today, drove out to Folsom, had a lovely breakfast (though it took half an hour for us to get our food, natch), and shopped. Everything seemed to be on sale! It's hard to say no to something you aren't going to use when it costs less than...

I am huuuuungry. All's we have to eat here is Cuppa Noodle. I had one yesterday, and I daresay, it did not agree with me. We need to learn how to keep food in this hovel. I could just about kill for some mac and cheese right now. No joke. I may have to make a run to Safeway to pick up the necessary items...

The absolute worst thing about retail is working alone on a slow day. Last night, I did just about nothing for 5 hours. I'd finished all my housekeeping in the first 3 hours. I refolded every last ugly touristy t-shirt. BORRRRRING. 5 hours, alone. Fucking hell.

Tried to go back to sleep after the boy left for work, but I just couldn't do it. My...

Short story- went out with Hank, the boy's best friend last night. Had dinner with him and his sister (very nice lady), met up with Jensen with the intention of going bowling, discovered it was league night, no open lanes 'til 11:30, played the arcade Soul Caliber II, kicked Hank's ass with our Me-on-joystick, Jenny-on-button-mashing technique, then fought the computer, came pretty close to winning....

I spilled fucking bongwater on the fucking couch. The apartment reeks of bongwater. I am an idiot. Bryan is a dumbass for leaving his stupid fucking bong on the ARM of the couch. My Klippan sofa slipcover is RUINED. OH NOES. I must go to Ikea to replace it in all it's yellowness. (I suppose I could launder it.)

I still have not showered. Pooooo....

Picked up a full 8 hour shift today, huzzah! And I don't have to close tomorrow or Saturday! EXCITEMENT. And I got some change to do laundry! (I am on my very last pair of underpants, which is a sorry state for anyone to be in.)

My period kicked my ass today. Ow.

Bryan got a promotion, hells yes. From pantry to grill. Though he...

Oh hell yes, Top Chef season 2!

Has my life gone so far that I'm getting excited about reality shows? Apparently. I am smelly, and I desperately need to shower. I'm coping with a lovely hangover from a coworker's birthday party.

Yes, I think a shower will do me good. I'll feel ten times better once I get this bar-filth off me, and get in...

Tiiiiiiiired. Work really wiped me out today, and next week is going to... ohhhh, I'm fucking stupid. I thought I had 3 days off next week, but my boss put everyone's hours on Monday on the PREVIOUS week's schedule. Ok. I'm not going to be totally broke. I can deal with my two shit shifts (12-4).

I am a Chipotle addict. Not cool. I can't...

BLAH. Dirt Days are a-comin'! Luckily, I am at the fair all weekend. Weeeell, tomorrow I'm closing G Willie's. That should be... I don't know. I'm watching Undeclared, and am thusly distracted.

At least the State Fair is almost over. Things will start calming down, and maybe I can wrangle a raise out of them? Probably not. I am kicking ass. It is an easy...

Tired. But clean! I love the freshly showered feeling- how soft and fragrant my skin is, the aromatic smell of my still-damp hair, the whole not smelling like hobo-ass thing.

Right. All I did today was work, watch Arrested Development, and hear, for the second day in a row, that my job is not good enough, and that I need to be making more money....
