McStarbucks...
Let's see...I worked today...we started serving our premium coffees today. "Would you like to try an iced mocha latté with that Big Mac?" just sounds a little weird to me. Work was the usual closing shift boredom. I mean, don't get me wrong, I had fun working with Kylie, Michelle, and Sue, but the work is so dull. I hate closing. I saw the regulars who come through the drive-thru everynight...but I don't wanna see them years from now at the same window, probably twice the size they once were cuz they come EVERY night. The deaf lady came through the drive-thru again. Tonight was the first time I recognized it was her when I took her order, which was good, because I didn't have to waste time getting angry that she yells out her order and never answers my questions and drives forward before she should and then feel terrible when she comes to my window and I see her fatty hearing aid. Her and I have come to an understanding...she yells what she wants, then comes to my window and reads my lips to answer my questions...and I know she prefers Sweet & Sour sauce with her nuggets. That's one thing I really do like about this job...I get to see some people every night...they become friendlier each time. After being called "sir" yesterday 3 times over the drive-thru speaker, I was very happy...but today my allergies weren't as bad, so my regular voice was back and it was back to being called "ma'am". Michelle keeps going to the doctor because her testosterone level is too high...can't I just have some of hers?
The weekend was pretty fun...Licorice and I went to karaoke with Andy on Saturday, and then I went to karaoke with Dave on Sunday. I like going to Soho on Sunday...it was so random cuz 1st off, Laura, the karaoke host, used to be a manager at my McDonalds that I worked with 5 years ago. Then, I run into Stacy who I'd met 2 weeks earlier at Soho...and who is there with Stacy???? VINCE...who I met about 6 years ago and lost touch with. He was a friend of T.J.'s...and I was seeing T.J. at the time...then I made friends with all of T.J.'s friends, he got jealous, he invited some guy from Canada down and thought I wouldn't know about it...then Nicole (one of the friends T.J. lived with) invited me over cuz we got close, and I walked in and there was T.J., all making out with that guy. I just said whatever and tried to ignore it...but T.J. wanted me to be mad I guess...so he kept yelling at me and then told me to step outside and fight him...now T.J. had a good 40 lbs. on me at least...but he ran at me and I flipped him over my shoulder onto the ground, gave him a black eye for good measure, and then ran back into the house and locked him out. He was pretty embarassed in front of Canada boy. I saw him only one more time in my life, at a club when i was visiting here from Japan. He was just staring at me withevil eyes, but he knew not to mess with me. Vince liked me at the time and wanted to steal me from T.J....he was really T.J.'s ex and didn't like him very much. ANYWAYS, I think Vince might still like me, even though we met this time and I was with Dave...but he kept looking at me all night.
Anyways, I am happy seeing Dave right now...he's a fresh breath of maturity and c kindness (he always opens car/building doors for me, always insists on paying...he's a gentleman). I don't see it going too far into the future, the age difference is pretty big (no, he's obviously not younger than me!!!).
So, everyone's birthday is this month apparently. Fun...all my hard earned, yet never enough, money goes to gifts...lol. Oh well, life is still good. I hate money...I guess you always do when you don't have enough of it. When people who do way less work than you get over double more than you, it's irritating. Michigan's economy sucks...and with my impending stop loss from the National Guard, I will be trapped here for over another year. WHY? I would leave Michigan tomorrow if I could. Thank goodness Sarah will be back in this state on the 14th. 5 days...I'm in disbelief. My sanctuary shall come! I love this girl!!! Well, that's it for now...as the motto that Sarah and I have had for quite some time now goes, "Whatever happens...HAPPENS!" Well, love y'all! Hey, I got made fun of for saying "y'all" a couple days ago...but once you live in Texas, it becomes a real word to you...it's much easier than saying "you guys"...and it's gender neutral...whereas "you guys" has a "males are dominant" undertone to it. See, it's all a feminism thing...everyone is equal...we're all equal...Y'ALL ARE EQUAL! (Hey, it's no "I Have A Dream" speech, but it's a start, right?) There was more to this entry, but I found it more meaningful than any of the rest of this blog, that I must make it an entirely new entry due to it's validity. I don't want it to be overshadowed by the rest of this shallow and rather unimportant blog.
