Its been a while since I have updated this...oh wait, I say that all the time! HA! I guess I just need to be more diligent about it. Right...Ill get right on that.
Im sitting here listening to a REALLY old song...Soul Decision--Faded. Yeah, it reminds me increasingly of the summer I met Erik Swanson--Swanny! HEH! That guy cracks me up, a lot.
Okay, so Valentines day has come and gone. We were EXTREMELY Busy at the store. I think the days preceeding the big day were at least 1100 each. And on tuesday we did about $30 short of 4k. AWESOME. I chose to come in on my day off and do deliveries, so I was spreading the love around lawrence like nobody's business. It was fun, I call it the Greek Tour--since I get to go to most of the sororities and frats. I get really frustrated when Im delivering to someone who is completely unappreciative. ITS FREE CHOCOLATE! Be nice. UGH!
And no, I wasnt at all depressed that I got to come home after working 9am-6pm to my cat Lola and leftover spaghetti. No, not at all... ok Im lying. I dont really care much about the holiday itself, it would just be nice to come home and laugh with someone about how lame the cards were. (on the baskets etc) "I bet you thought I forgot to send something, cant wait to see you" and the ironic thing about that particular card.. is that HE DID forget to send something until about 3pm on vday.. and he lives in LEAWOOD.. so close to lawrence.. whatever. Anyway, so I think it would be a much better day for me had I had someone to come home and hang out with.. in my pj's on the couch--I dont need candy (obviously) or flowers.. just a hug from someone who loves me.
Enough mush. Lets talk about something else that's been bugging me. Its people who are completely still feeding off their parents. I just want to say that Im totally thankful for my parents NOT coming to my aid everytime I asked them to. I am glad they have told me "no, sorry. You're going to have to figure this one out on your own". It has made me a stronger, more independant person. I feel sorry for people who are completely reliant on their family for support. Its like they will never learn how to solve their own problems and live their own lives. Cut the cord... let go of the nipple and live your own life. Honestly.. its annoying to me that a person can be living at home bc they couldnt hack it out in the real world. Its one thing if the circumstances are horrible and they had no other choice.. Having your parents interfere in every little problem you have just makes you that much farther away from being a grown up.
Yeah, my life is a mess and I make mistakes--but at least Im working on them by myself and when things do get better, I know it will be because of the steps I took to correct the problem, not because my parents stepped in and bailed me out.
Another thing that just irritates me is horrible driving. I honestly want to just start hitting people. Maybe one day when Im rich and dont have to worry about fixing my car, I will do that. Drive around with a video camera in my car and film these morons hitting me, clearly revealing that they are at fault and not me. If I get honked at one more time for proceeding to go in turn at a 4-way stop, seriously.. you may have to bail me out of jail. Its Lawrence, tons of 4-ways and no one seems to know how to use them. ARGH
So, Cheryl gave me a raise.. but in order to actually "get" it.. I have to define my job as manager.. she has certain expectations she wants me to meet before I can have the money. The thing I dont understand is, how I am supposed to make this position work, she always butts in and changes things to the way she wants them. So how am I supposed to be responsible for a task if she sometimes takes over. She is just... really afraid to let someone else handle the responsibility. Right now one of the only things I do is make the daily tasks list--but she does it for me some days and I just want to scream. I dont know, Im glad I got the raise, I just think it will be amusing to see if she actually lets go of the reigns and allows me to be the actual manager. We shall see...
I think Ive rambled enough.. but I do want to add.. I went with the brown.. a lovely medium/dark brown. Its lovely.
Oh.. and I am completely filed for the big B. I started making payments today.. and have my meeting with the trustee on March 1st. Im VERY freaked out... but Im glad this thing is getting started.. the sooner it starts.. the sooner Im done and can get on with my life.
kay, have a great weekend!
