We got reauthorized for overtime. Wish I'd just gone in last weekend - I'd probaby have been put to work. Still that's and extra 210 I'll make this weekend.

Other than that, not much new... Going to a BBQ this sunday afternoon, so that should be shiny.

Oh, I heard from my friend, she moved cross country. Anyways, I guess things aren't going too well...

OT is cool depending on what you do. I do QA for a videogame company (I play test video games) so OT for me is doing what I do in my spare time but getting paid time and a half for it.

Oh, we have the OT spectre looming as well. Ramping up for an end of the year release.
smashcritical:
Since you asked. It is often a matter of who you know but it is becoming less so. The pay is not good but it is not very stressful. Actually some people do find it stressful but I used to work in a pharmacy and this is cake in comparison. On the upside you get to see and hear the public praising the work that is finally released or vindicating your complaints. Sometimes you get both &^).

I've decided to seek gainful employment elsewhere, starting today. I'm putting in my two weeks notice on the 15th of august, because it's obvious this job is going nowhere, and I am sick of graves. Even if I don't find a job, I'll only have $1000 or so left in debt, and my car will be running. I get the part time job, before the...

Where are you getting the sacred heart tattoo?

Yeah, I have two places right here in town, but I could make a trip to Boston or something after getting recommendations from people.

So this week all the floors will be waxed, so I hear. The regional, her assisstant, another manager are all coming in to wax. This is why I can't get any OT. But knowing how things work, we will probably get authorized for OT today, then it will get snaked again thursday night. :sighs:

I'm deciding on a right arm sleeve now... It's between several...

Anchorman was so funny. definitely worth seeing.

I did go to the Orange Julius, but alas, she wasn't working. I'm not sure what to do next. Options are either to let it go or get on the bus everyday and ride down there just to see if she's there. Kind of extreme in my opinion...

Why couldn't I have just gone back and asked for...

Today, I'm seeing Anchorman.

my insurance just kicked in. as soon as I get my card, I'm getting some dental and medical stuff done.

I have to go to Orange julius. yesterday, I met a girl who was working there. I've been kicking myself for not getting a number, so I'm going to try and redeem myself. hopefully she's there, single, and remembers me.

Grrr! mad

My OT got snaked! 17 days in, and I'm told I can't do any more. I was so looking forward to getting at LEAST 4 weeks of it in.

I'm starting to apply for a switch to days. It would be 20 hours PT, cartpushing and greeting/assisting customers. Something nice and laid back. I'm really afraid that if I wait to transfer, I won't...

I'm going to look into getting another part or fulltime job. Looking for 30 hrs/week. Maybe at the lube place across the street.

That would be about $660 for july with the overtime I'd be pulling still. Not bad.

I can always sleep when I'm dead.

Let's see how far my will to be debt-free (or my avarice) can take me.

Er, guy.

Well, don't work yourself to death just to pay off the debt. Have at least a little fun.

Dodgeball was funny, I went to see it.

My roommate locked his keys in the car though. So we were locked out, and it was 4:30, and I hadn't slept. I called a friend, his sister (17) answered and came to our rescue. I got home, my roommates got a spare key and drove home, and so I guess things worked out.

The girl, like...

Did anyone take my insanity test? If not, you should. It's very... Scientific.

It's dark again. This should be the last night of it. This remodel has been nothing shprt of asinine.

Also, ALL of our equipment is in the various stages of disrepair. Janitorial is on the ass end of the totem pole for getting attention... Yet we are responsible for the entire store....

I saw the car... and then the revving.... I had a twitch at the corner of my mouth and then I burst out hysterically laughing.

Insanity test?

Well,

I'm listening to emo in the dark. How noir.

It's dark because there is no power in the store. I'm sweeping in the dark, mopping in the dark. I'd be asleep without my music.

So, is it better to have a lonely heart or a broken one?

I really hope I'm not alone forever. It's a worry I have. I mean, I'm intensely grateful...

In the short term, much better lonely than broken. If I'm lonely I can still enjoy myself; if my heart is broken, though, I'm plain outta luck 'till I pull myself back together.

In the long term, I'd much rather have my heart broken a couple times than have to stay lonely all the time. Of course I'd rather have neither if I can avoid it, but that wasn't the question. smile

Ok ok...

So I didn't get really drunk. And I didn't take more than one Exceddrin PM. And I got like 4 hours of sleep 'cos it got too hot.

My birth father is a workaholic. I certianly think it could be in my blood as well. I'm looking at 4-5 weeks straight of work. But I was wrong; working at this rate, if I...
