19 Days to go
i started work toady. they gave me a sticky note when they hired me that said to call them on august 8th, so i did. only they thought i called on august 5th, and they had scheduled me to work on teh 8th. guess what time? 10 am. guess what time i called them to get my schedule? 10:05. yea. so i flew down the stairs (thank god i had already showered) and went to work. but then i wasnt in their database, so i counld'nt clock in. so then they had to put me in their database, so by the time i clocked in i was THIRTY SEVEN minuted late for work. boo. then they had me train with this lady. no offense to the lady, but she had a really really bad speech inpediment. i mean - really bad. so imagine, your late for work, super nervous (it being your first job) and this older lady is trying to tell you what to do. i later found out (from devin, go figure) that she is somewhat ... slow. so yea, it was a hard day. and then i was working the floor today. sounds glamourous aye? not. i took peoples dirty dishes, took out the trash (o yea, 4 feet tall trashcans - im 5'2, not fun) and being the only visble staff, heard everyones complaints. and they didnt give me an apron until like 2, and i was off at 3, so i was pretty filthy. o yea, another mildy humourous thing, i have to refill the ice for the soft drinks, cept, the thing is, you have to haul two HUGE buckets of ice out there, then (cuz im short) baalnce on a chair to pour it in the top of the machine, while angry customs swarm around your knees, waiting for their chance at the pop machine. o yea, and i dont know if youve ever been to panera, but you get teh water at this little side lever next to the brisk iced tea, if i ever get asked where the water is again, im gonna scream. so after this super fun day, devin calls me to tell me he has founf his old grade school yearbooks, and seeing as how we went to the same gradeschool, there are pictures off me. it is not good. and then he mocked me. grr. and then after THAT i had a helluva time with my ap government homework. and you should know it was bad, beacuse i recently stopped swearing and i just swore there if you didnt notice it. so if anyone has any amusing stories to brighten my day tomorow (i have to work again tomorrow, 7 am, an ungodly time if there ever was one) i would love to hear said stories.
