already a frustrating day
but it does not have to be, and quite fucking frankly, I will not let it be any more annoying then it already has been. BUT I did wake up to great booty, and getting to see my friend off. Bekki has been here since Thursday, as she has been in England for a year at grad school. I picked her up from the airport, we ate, and went home and ate some shrooms. (a very small amount it was already 1am) It's a bummer for her to be back meaning, we have no one to go and visit now, BUT it’s awesome to have her back in Texas. she will be getting back to san marcos/austin soon. Dylan took her to go meet her dad, as he refused to drive from Bedford to garland, so he is meeting half way. I think that is hellalame, but whatever. Dylan cooked a bad-ass meal last night, and we did SOME of the dishes, loaded the dishwasher, and I woke up today and like only half of what was in it was clean. something malfunctioned. DAMN! so I re-washed some of it, and fixed the problem and am doing another load, when I was hoping for the kitchen to be about clean by now. that kind of bull shit is always annoying. I COULD have done it last night, but I had an uber migraine after dinner, (I ended up taking 5 Excedrin’s between midnight and 3am) and just wanted to lay down in the dark.
Today I work a lamb demo. That ought to be interesting, as I have not had to deal w/custys in a while. (other then a couple of hours here and there making pizzas) I have been looking forward to it, as I actually miss some of them, but then I also think of standing on the cement floor for 6 hours, and people being bitchy since its Sunday. I can't dwell on that shit or it will happen like that. It will be fun for what it is. I have to remember since it’s not my job anymore it CAN be fun. I even have a new purple apron. HOW FUCKING GAY, but it’s the little things.
Last weekend we went to Myschevia, the first ever north Texas burn event. It was a little over an hour west of ft. worth. we had a great time, and we both needed the get-a-way. Camping in the cold was a new experience, and friday night was so cold you could see your breath the whole fucking night. it was not warm until we got in the tent, under flannel sheets, a comforter, and another blanket w/multiple layers of clothes on. But damn did it get plain hot in the morning once the sun was out. Fucking Dylan can sleep thru all of the heat, and slept pretty late, which he needed. I think we both got the best rest we've had in a while out there. We also partied pretty hard Saturday night, but never really escaped reality like I wanted to. I guess that’s how it is. I am sure we are NOT going to miss Flipside this year. WFM is going to have to just deal w/that one.
On the work front, my new position is a lot of fucking work, but since its totally different, and totally different customers, I am digging it. (the team members are now most of my customers)I am the retail support back up for the store. It's kind of like being everyone upstairs, personal bitch. I get trained on scan Monday and tues, and I have already been doing HR, and cash up. I also get to dedicate a full day to tmag, though I usually end up staying uber late and getting tmag done a little bit on multiple days, which if I am lucky gets me an extra day off. Plus I am getting to make my own schedule since it’s so hard to keep up w/what I am doing. I do have to find work for 2 days a week, but I am filling my time doing stuff like demo, and making pizzas. Next week there is no extra time to fill, so that is cool, and going into the holidays I will be freezing my ass off on weekends doing the damn turkey table, so my time will be totally full until new years. (and if I am lucky then we can get some kind of break and travel to some fucking where)
I have not gotten a raise yet, and that fucking blows, and I did move up a pay category, and that is exciting. I will just be able to demand a larger one, once its time. things are really weird at our store, and heads are starting to roll, so I am glad I am in a position now, that utilizes skills I really have, and keeps me from being around customers all day, getting myself into trouble. (not that I can’t get in trouble w/tm's either, but less likely)
the week before going out of town, we were both really sick, and mine had gone from a sinus infection, to pneumonia. I am better now, and if I hadn't been we could not have gone camping, cus that would have fucking killed me.
and before that, I had been doing hr full time since carol was on vacation, working 13 hr days. probably why I got sick. but it was a great learning experience. I was not doing payroll, as the store leadership felt if I did it, I’d be even more jaded then I already am, knowing what they fucking pay some of the momos that work there.
I already feel that way, so it can't really get any worse!!! It was a huge clusterfuck having 2 ppl doing one persons job, that I will be trained on payroll now. EXCITING! I just want to make myself more marketable for getting a job w/wfm in Austin. And if we are stuck here a while, as we are not allowed to legally refi OR sell w/out a penalty (we just almost refi'd, and got great everything...)until march of 06, so we think we are going to fix our house, including the foundation and then sell to get back to Austin. we just do not have a time frame. I'd like to do it all by the holidays next year. (that is when our store moves across the street, and I really do not want to still be at the store then..)
that is all I have to say now. I need to eat and take a shower and get ready for my day of demo.
hasta.
