People are strange...
"...when you're a stranger, faces look ugly when you're alone.."
Listening to that song by the Doors is just great, ok awesome.. Either way, it's a great song. Hmm.. my mother says I should be in bed or whatever cuz I have work @ 8AM, bright an' fuckin' early.. rr oh well. I weeely like workin there :) It's cool, the people are nice and everything.. I just started yesterday. We only came up like $5 short on the registers, which was awesome when compared to other times, our 3rd key told us. So I was happy and relieved, even if I did mess up giving somebody's change back a couple of times. It was my first day on the job, and I think I did fairly well. Which I'm glad of. So I'm sorta happy right now, just my neck wants to bother me and I'm silly, sitting here typing in this journal.
I was gonna write something about the first time on the job, which I wrote some of. Anyway oh yeah, I was gonna say that Dollar General hired me (or rather the manager Donnie) on New Year's Day, which was a surprise. They just happened to be looking for people to hire, and my boyfriend knows Donnie. He told Don that I needed a job, so I was interviewed and... well, at first he wanted to hire me as a 3rd key (if you don't know, it's 3rd in management), but I didn't think I could do it. So I took the job as a regular employee, cashier/stocker (even tho it meant lower pay). Which works for me cuz I have no problem, only I was nervous on my first day and that was a shock. Marvin said "Don't be nervous" and I was!!! What could I do? So I just watched for a while and they then "threw me to the wolves" so to speak, and I checked people out at the register. It went fine until a bunch of people started coming in and I screwed up this lady's change.. I was like 'Ugh!!!' to myself. I couldn't believe I did that. Oh well... Eunice said, "honey, that's nothin." Evidently, she's done worse. And she's only been there a week!! Damn...anyway, so after that well... it was ok except that the employee bathroom almost got flooded because of a faulty toilet. It wouldn't flush right and every time I did (3 times), the water just kept rising, even tho I tried using the plunger. So I was like 'holy shit', and I didn't know what to do except call on the 3rd key and she was like, "shit I'll just have to leave em a message about the toilet." SO I'm hoping she did and that someone will fix the problem. I had to use the public restroom that night, but it was no big deal. Some guy left a cane in there, that was one of the only strange things, that and the trash can in the bathroom was overflowing with paper towels. So that was weird too. Hah! But whatever. What I'm tryin to say is it wasn't all that bad, just strange for part of the day. *sigh*
Trying to think of what else to say. Marvin, Eunice, Kathy (?) and that girl I worked with last night, they're all cool. I like them :) Nice bunch of people. I only wish I had this kind of atmosphere everywhere I went. Hehe, but I guess wishful thinking. Anyway, I'm happy about that. And their dress code isn't so restrictive. Shit, I get to wear all of my earrings and my bracelets. It's nice. Besides, I already have a black polo shirt and khaki pants to wear, so it's jivin'. Haha, that word.. jiving, whatever.. wild word dude. :) I haven't seen or heard that word used in a long time.
So what else is there to say? I haven't seen Jeremy since Saturday when we watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse together at my house. That was interesting. We haven't watched a movie at my house in forever. That was different, and we watched it in MY room! :) Wow, my mom wouldn't have liked it had it been any other time. Weirdness.
Anyway, so I'm happy for the most part. And did I tell you? I signed up for English 112 this semester!!! yay! hehee! I was originally thinking about switching to the Saturday class again this semester, but there are some cool people in this class I think. Some very interesting people. :) I like that, and our teacher isn't bad, in fact I think I like him (Mr. McEvoy) a little better in some cases. Hmm.. maybe he's more experienced than Mr. Morris, I dunno. I just like the way he teaches. (Not to say there's anything really wrong with the way Morris teaches, it's just different.) He really engages people, where Morris is like... come on people lol. I dunno what I'm saying, it's just.. different.
Damn, I've heard Tin Pan Alley 3 times tonight at least, maybe 4. It's so good tho! Ugh, I have my cd player on random play, so yeah that's why. rr, itchy foot!
Anyway, umm.. what am I saying or going to say? I was thinking something about a 2x4 in the song.. not pertaining to the subject tho exactly. I guess setting foot in that classroom for the first time on Monday was like I got hit with a 2x4.. it was a shocker; I felt like a teenager in high school again. I didn't think you were supposed to feel like you were in high school again in college.. but maybe that's my twisted way of thinking.
Just the people sometimes make it seem that way. Cuz in my last English class, I never really felt that way. It was totally cool and laid back. This new class makes me on edge, nervous and waiting in bated breath, what's happening now? Will the teacher call on me? What's next? Who's sitting next to/behind me? Who's that talking? What the hell's going on, basically.
It's just so weird. Is that supposed to happen? I wonder. I dunno, but I'm beginning to like this class, even if it's a hell of a traffic jam getting up there at 5:30 in the evening. Oh well. This time I came in early, which was good cuz I started freewriting all the while waiting for class to start. Which felt sorta good I guess, doing something I hadn't done in a while. *heavy sigh* Damn my back is getting to me tonight. But Tin Pan Alley still plays.. in my mind sometimes, too.
One thing I didn't say was that a guy in our class saw me outside and said "good luck with your art"and I said thanks. That kind of came as a surprise, like outta nowhere. But I appreciated it. We had been talking about these questions we freewrote about in class and I chose the one about art. So yeah it was nice to get that kind of recognition. :) I appreciate it, whoever you are. Thanks, I mean that.
I did something good today! :) Yay.
Goodnight y'all! :D
