I put in my two weeks notice on Monday. Mom wouldn't let me just walk out and dad wouldn't let me give my hard, honest reasons for quitting. Something about taking the high ground and not burning bridges and being a good person.

And now for a somewhat incomplete list of things that suck...not everything could be put into words.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today. I enjoyed it a lot, although I thought Depp's portrayal was a little too Michael Jackson for my taste. Gene Wilder wins ( Read more... )

What has it been, two days since we "got back together?" Well, said status has been reversed. A-fucking-gain.

More is behind the cut. I dissolve into a whirl in here and I'm not sure I said things in the way I mean them, so take things with a grain of salt or something.

So we started to do the non-pooled tip thing tonight and when it came out I had the second highest tips ($93) with the highest ($105) going to the girl who had a table of happy, drunken karaoke-ers that included her parents. I didn't realize I had done so well, I had mostly two-tops the whole night and one table where everyone tipped just below 15 ( Read more... )

Sometimes when you read too much you start to feel a little melancholy. You start internal monologues in as lofty language as your untrained mind can muster up, having neither time to edit or the good old shift-F7 for a thesaurus ( Read more... )

I've been having pop-up problems lately...it's getting fucking annoying. I ran Ad-aware and immediately rebooted my machine as I was leaving because it was running really slow (the way it used to when I ran my way overly hacked Photoshop and Dreamweaver for days on end until they locked up and generally wreaked havoc) and when I got home there were ( Read more... )

I'm on the edge of a bit of a financial crisis. Thank god my credit card offer checks, so I'll be able to make rent for the next two months (and worst comes to worst, I can attempt to get an emergency loan from the University for month 3...but that totally won't happen). Hopefully by then I'll have a full-time job for the summer and there will be ( Read more... )

Hellish week, last week was.

Last week I had 3 tests and a big fucking report due, lots 'o homeworks, and a million committee meetings. Did I mention these are the kind of engineering classes that expect you to remember everything you learned in Calculus I through III and beyond and all that jazz? It doesn't seem like that much when I write it ( Read more... )

Last week both my parents were on their honeymoons (one a month or so post-wedding, the other a month or so pre-wedding). Yah ( Read more... )

As it turns out, I didn't die while riding the greyhound. It wasn't even that bad, although I still refused to sleep the whole time (despite the fact that everyone was doing it around me and nobody seemed to be messing with anyone else) and listened to both disks of Rent instead. I just had a horrible feeling that I'd wake up and my glasses would ( Read more... )
