I'm Too Tired To Care About A Nice Title
So yeah… there will be work Sunday…. which was crazy… work tonight which was fun and entertaining and full of drama…. and then most importantly Saturday night into Sunday day where I was withy my awesome cousins from PA and we just had a fucking blast which involved much alcohol.
So yeah… I got there down in Harwich at about 3 PM. And they’d already starting drinking… so I joined in. We drank and sat in the water and what have you…. just lounged about. We totally brought beach chairs…. put them in the water…. so the water covered us up to about our chests and just sat there and drank beer. It was awesome.
My cousins were awesome. Dave is now about 6’5” and 140. It’s just insane… and he can eat all day long too. I mean….. just fucking skinny as hell. Which also makes him hot as hell…. because he’s a total athlete too…. so his body is just perfectly muscled…. and oh God….. the muscle… I think it’s the Iliopsoas muscle or the Inguinal ligament…. I’ve heard it labeled as both….. both are all in the same area and I’m not an anatomy expert….. but it’s probably the muscle I find most attractive on a guy…. it runs from like the top of the hip down to the crotch…. but his is just perfect and I could non stop staring at it. And he’ll be 18 in 2 weeks. So then my massive wanting to have so much sex with him will be a little less creepy………. no… probably not.
Matt is just so funny… has so many stories to tell.. and just knows how to egg on all of his brothers.
Mike is the most outspoken redneck hic in all the world…. all as a joke and partially because he really believes it. None of us are really sure. Here’s some of the hilarious things he’ll just bust out saying randomly and then go an rants about.
There are only two things I hate….. change and diversity.
Retards are going to hell….. God hates them…. I mean just look at them.
So there was this kid that came by me and some guys and he was different…. so we beat him up and chased him out of town. They’re different…. let’s get ‘em.
I’m not racist…. I’m uber racist….. I only like white Catholics. I like polar bears….. they’re white.
Bush is the best president ever. He ain’t done nothing wrong yet and he ain’t ever gonna do anything wrong.
God… you just have to picture him saying it too. He’s wearing tight jeans one size too small, a flannel sleeveless cut-off… cigarette in one hand, beer in the other. It’s just too funny.
And oh God….. the retard. So on the way up they are come to a light and in a parked car next to them there’s this kid with down syndrome sleeping in the passenger seat with his or her head out the window all mouth open. So Mike looks over and shouts out… Hey…. look…. it’s a retard….. and then he just busts out laughing at the retard. Luckily… the kid slept through it…. but Matt and his friend Zack who were with them could not stop laughing… because Mike is just so horrible and has no sense of decency.
Then there’s Scott. I get along with him best…. great sense of humor but can also be really mellow. Also very sarcastic. He’s been out on a boat that does a bed and breakfast tour thing… but is still a fishing boat…. all summer. He was damn tired and just happy to relax and be on land.
Paul and Adina couldn’t come sadly.
My cousin Beth was also there… the only girl of the family… she’s awesome… but a crazy vegetarian…. can’t eat shit with a face on it. But we get along well… hell I get along with all of them.
So my Aunt Janet was there…. she’s mother of Matt, Mike, Scott, Dave, and Paul… se was drunk all day Saturday and it was hysterical to watch….. because she gets drunk and doesn’t care and will say anything and embarrass herself in front of her kids all night long. I’ve told them they all need to see my Mom drunk too… because she’s as bad… but she’d never let herself get that way in front of my father’s family.
My Aunt Kathy sits there and is quiet and knowledgeable.
Neither of my grandparents were there thankfully.
So anyway… we drank beer all day and night right there at the cottage. From 3 PM until 3 AM. though by midnight all of my cousins had drifted off because they’d all driven there that day from Boston or Maine or PA. I stayed up with my brother, his girlfriend, and Greg… all of whom came. It was a blast.
We decided to sleep there… since we’d been drinking….. I ended up sleeping on one of the deck chairs that reclined outside. I piled up two cushions for it, a sleeping bag, and a blanket. Took one little pillow and slept on that outside. It was cool….. the mosquitoes bit me… and the raccoons were fighting over trash like 10 feet from me. I slept maybe 3 hours total.
So Sunday….. I decided to stay… my brother had to leave at 9:30 AM to get to work.. I didn’t work until 5 PM. So more fun…. I drank a bottle and a half of wine before work… which was not a good idea…. but I did it anyway. The first half bottle was finishing up a bottle of terrible chardonnay my cousin Scott bought because he wanted to make a lamp out of the bottle. I started drinking it at 10:30 AM…. a new record for me as far as early drinking goes. I then went out with them for a beer run and bough another bottle of wine from the same company… a local vineyard in Truro… but this time a nice cranberry red wine… I drank that between 1 and 2 PM… giving myself 3 hours to sober up…. which wasn’t bad.
So again… more sitting in chairs in the water and drinking it and just lounging around… it was very nice. My cousin Scott brought me home…. and we ran into massive bad driving in Sandwich. So the car in front of us was turning left. There was another car coming out of that road trying to turn left onto the road we were on. So Scott went around the car in front of us but the guy trying to turn left onto our road also pulled into it trying to beat us out….. Scott kept going and the guy had to stop and he gave us the finger so Scott slowed down to under the speed limit… about 27 on a 30 where everyone goes 45. It was hysterical…. when we got to the next red light the guy sped off to the right of us so he could pass us on the green. He totally flew off… it was hysterical how much of an ass he was on the road.
Well… then came work. I was very tired…. I was slightly still inebriated….. and I barely remember it now. Lee never showed up for her shift…. which meant Laurel stayed very late. Jen came in a little early. Paul was closing and was his usual self…. chasing after women. At least he makes it easy for me…. no oh God work harder.
I remember the end of the shift….. Nadejda, Lily, and June….. which was fine…. we got work done. Lily is the best blocker in the world…. she’s just awesome…. did 3, 6, 7… and all were perfect looking.
Adam Costa was on carts…. but he actually got them all in before he left… I was impressed.
Oh yeah… I spent much of the shift training Ben and Billy Gravelle how to CDH…. kind just showing them what to do… how to close, etc. It was fun…. I love training people.
The best story was the again disaster of trying to close. Tons of people still in the store at 10 PM. Worse…. one woman went to the closed entrance doors and then came in the exit door. She got in the first one… but James stopped her before she entered the second door. He told her we were closed and she got all pissed and was all… this store is closed this store is closed… so let me in. James just said no… we’re closed. She got all pissy and was all…. why do you have to be that way. James just ignored it and said I’m sorry we’re closed. So then she fucking tried to push her way past James….. hell no… he just blocked her with his body and told her to get out. She got all more pissed and called him an asshole. He just thanked her. Then she was all… you know you are too… and stalked off. Oh….. stupid cunt.
So today. Today was a good day…. most was handed off perfectly. Had only one audit to do. Did a sweep. All was in good shape. Got everything done too… including more FE candy.
Except of course I came in and people who should have had their breaks at 5 PM had not and it was 6 PM. Poor Rob was all….. when you’re not here…. no one gives me my break. Yeah….. It hits 4 PM and Paul just stops caring about shit… and Bri was certainly not going to get it done.
So yeah…. fucking Brianna. Yeah…. I get in….. Paul gives me his red card… I ask for the keys. He tell me Brianna has them. My face dropped. It was just….. you fucking pervert bastard. No. Just no. I told Laurel today that if he gets to do that then I get to train either Chris McNamara or Alex Grotevant and leave them in charge the same way….. knowing Paul he wouldn’t care anyway. Though I’d seriously trust Alex before I’d trust Brianna. Chris is too pals with people so far…. I don’t know if he’s cut out for it. Alex….. he might. He seems very motivated to do everything right…. but I worry about him being too nice. He reminds me a bit of Ben. My biggest worry for Ben is him being able to tell everyone what to do…. I have no doubt about him working to get everything done, though. It’s hard to have to be the bad guy…. but sometimes you do… and I’m still not sure if Ben is ready for that. But Brianna is a ditz. I mean…. I’m not convinced she can manage a register…. I definitely don’t think she could keep everything in her head to be a CDH… she’s be one of the fail ones that forgets to do everything. Whatever the case…. all that matters is there will be none of this when any of us other CDH’s are around.
So… noteworthy event…. Lee quit. She would’ve been suspended for yesterday… but she quit. She told me tonight. She says she never sees her kids anymore… which is true working two jobs and having no days off between them. Sadly it was still a shitty way to do it leaving all her shifts this week uncovered and all. I wish her well. She also came in and was all…. they better not be training Ben for service desk. I was all…. first off Lee…. you don’t work here no more…. you don’t get a say anymore. Second… I think Ben will be very good at it. I set her straight. She thought Ben was just an airhead…. I told her she was way way off on that one. She doesn’t know anyone on the front very well…. she isn’t up there. She will be missed…. feels like my second Donna leaving… except of course Donna was way more awesomer and never irresponsible. God I miss Donna.
So… as mentioned above….. Fawn was in SD training Ben tonight. I think Ben will handle it well. I covered Fawn’s break and did some work with him too. He needs a lot more training in there…. and needs to be in there with CDH’s that know the SD or he’s gonna be left high and dry probably…. much like I was when they threw me in there with 2 days of training and just left me to myself.
So Beth called me at work today. It was awesome… she all needed to borrow some bags. And then we made more plans to go out drinking. I was so upset that I couldn’t last time thanks to stupid tendonitis. Then I’ve had one night off a week and no car that night. I’m hoping for Friday night maybe. That would be good.
Matt Leone is just…. there are no words. He’s like a kender. He’s constantly distracted by shiny things…. so unfocussed… but he is always doing work…. even if it’s not what you want him to do. Most of the time it’s not. However… with Ben or Sven…. he gets way too distracted chatting with them…. I had to separate that a couple of times. But then he just talks to me… and was all talking about D&D with me… it was amusing.
Then there’s Linda…. she was there. I all ran up to her at the beginning of my shift and was all…. Linda you’re the best and I’m so glad you’re back. She asked why… and I was all… because when you’re here we get everything done. She went on to explain why I love her is because when she’s here she doesn’t have a second job to do. Paul is FE manager while closing, Justin Produce Manager while closing, etc. She’s free to just be the closing manager. Of course the real reason is I just say shit like that to her and she leaves me alone. The more I talk to her about getting everything done… the more she just never bothers me. I never saw her from 9:30 to 11:30. She came up twice to just ask what needed to be done… and I told her all we had left and she just went back…. all good.
Then there’s our crazy meat guy. He talked to me for like 20 minutes on religion and scientology. It started about Tom Cruise kicking out yet another woman. He started all… why can’t he just come out and say he’s gay. I said no no no… I totally disagree…. then he got all defensive and was like I’m not homophobic or judging him… and I was all…. no… I just disagree…. I don’t think he’s gay…. I just think he’s crazy. I really think it’s because he’s crazy. Oh he might be gay…. but he night not. However…. we all know he is definitely crazy. Then crazy meat guy was all going on about how all religions are about taking in money and how Judaism is the best one and blah blah. I’d’ve been engaged and entertained except he talks just to hear himself and is all nasty annoying and sleazy and I just don’t particularly like him.
Then there was Jared. He did carts. I went out at like 10:30…. Oh God carts everywhere. It looked like he had done carts while inebriated. I hope for his sake he did…. because then at least he would’ve probably enjoyed it more that way. Though in truth….. he left at 9 PM. And the difference in carts being okay and a complete mess is really that half hour between 9 and 9:30. Anytime the cart person leaves at 9 PM… it’s just too early and carts get fucked up big by 10 PM… it’s a whole hour and busy enough to get a lot back out there.
So he came in with Adam tonight….. and I got the truth about his call in a couple of days ago…. it was not his father that called him in but his friend who is in fact like 18 and sounds appropriately so. I also gave him a bit of a hard time about the carts being so messy…. but he just is so quiet and unresponsive about it. I mean… he just never says anything to me. I don’t mind…. but it just seems so shitty to work all night and not talk to people and have fun. I feel like he should… I don’t know… loosen up…. talk to people… get to know them. I mean… I know he talks to Adam and Ben Barnaby…. but other than that I never see him talk to anyone. Plus… the more he talks with the other CDH’s…. the more they’ll be inclined to go easier on him. It’s how it works…. you get people to like you and they go more out of their way to be nice and stick the shitty jobs on other people. Serisously…. all of us bitch about who we hate… and those are the first people we send to do unpleasant shit.
Oh God… insert Sunday night story. I asked Dave Allard to do bottle machine… and he was all I don’t know how to do it and told me to make Ben do it. What the fuck. He was a CDH… he fucking knew how to do it… he was just too fuckign lazy. I fucking hate that guy so much. Tonight he was in shopping and went to selfscan and I sent Matt Leone down there to watch his entire order. Matt was trying to go do a return… and I said go watch selfscan I need you to watch it there’s someone I don’t trust. He looked down and was like who…. Dave? I was like yes. So he asked why since Dave was like a CDH. I was like… Matt I don’t have time… he’s stolen from this store before…. I don’t trust him… go watch. He did… nothing happened…. but damn if I’m trusting that piece of shit.
So yeah…. the first people I send to do shit are Dave Allard…. Dick England…. Alex Connolly…. Billy Ahmed…. Adam Costa (If its not too hard a job). It’s how we do it…. we watch out for our good employees. Of course… if I know a person likes certain job… I let them do it…. but if it’s one that no one likes… the first person I send is the shitty people who deserve bad jobs.
So yeah…. as for other people around. I love Rob Duffany. That kid is just so awesome. He’s funny and can be jocular and sarcastic back…. which I approve of. Plus he’s a damn good worker. I wish I had more of him around. Also…. Alanna continues to make me happy. She does whatever. She even volunteered to clean up a milk spill…. I give her credit for that.
Now fail customers. Mrs. I get it free. So it was Post-It notes…. shelf tag said $3.49…. but dumbasses in GM marked them with price tags of $2.99. So I take care of it for her and tell Rosa to put it in for the 2.99… and then the woman’s all…. no it scanned wrong…. I get it free. I’m sure my face fell right into FUCK YOU CUNT. I turned away to go get a price accuracy and acted like I had forgotten the policy…. which of course I had not. She all searched around and found it on the register to point it out in case I wasn’t sure of it. More….. shut up now or I will kill you. So I did the price accuracy…. but then Rosa cashed out her order before I had put it in…. because Rosa just doesn’t know. I wanted the paperwork to be accurate so I rang it up separately on my register to put in the Price Accuracy to make it free. She just kept going on about how it wasn’t my fault or Rosa’s fault and how she didn’t blame us or whatever. I just wanted to fucking slug her…. shut the fuck up you already got your free shit…. now go die please. I don’t care whose fault you think it is or how entitled you are to free shit. Fawn said what she tells people that unless you pay for it… you don’t get it free. I like that… I need to use that next time some bitch gives me shit.
Lastly….. my poor MI girl. She went to MSU… so I call her Michigan girl. She waitresses at Tomatoes…. she had a horrible night. One table of a couple that shared everything to lessen the cost and tip… and then tried to pay in coupons. What the fuck. Then…. Mark… the owner who is an ass, a sleaze, and a monster…. made her drink alcohol….. she tried to order the least alcoholic stuff she could… and she did… but he made her drink it and pressured the hell out of her… and she had two… when she didn’t want to….. she just had a baby a couple of months ago too. So she finally just bailed and left the bartender there by herself…. and the bartender gave her poor you just left me out here to die looks…… she said it was like something from Boys Don’t Cry. I felt so bad for her… gave her a nice hug. I need to go in there sometime before I leave… I love her… she’s awesome.
I think that’s all for now. I’m totally beat….. just feeling exhausted….. yet highly tempted to play some dot hacks. We shall see.
So yeah… I got there down in Harwich at about 3 PM. And they’d already starting drinking… so I joined in. We drank and sat in the water and what have you…. just lounged about. We totally brought beach chairs…. put them in the water…. so the water covered us up to about our chests and just sat there and drank beer. It was awesome.
My cousins were awesome. Dave is now about 6’5” and 140. It’s just insane… and he can eat all day long too. I mean….. just fucking skinny as hell. Which also makes him hot as hell…. because he’s a total athlete too…. so his body is just perfectly muscled…. and oh God….. the muscle… I think it’s the Iliopsoas muscle or the Inguinal ligament…. I’ve heard it labeled as both….. both are all in the same area and I’m not an anatomy expert….. but it’s probably the muscle I find most attractive on a guy…. it runs from like the top of the hip down to the crotch…. but his is just perfect and I could non stop staring at it. And he’ll be 18 in 2 weeks. So then my massive wanting to have so much sex with him will be a little less creepy………. no… probably not.
Matt is just so funny… has so many stories to tell.. and just knows how to egg on all of his brothers.
Mike is the most outspoken redneck hic in all the world…. all as a joke and partially because he really believes it. None of us are really sure. Here’s some of the hilarious things he’ll just bust out saying randomly and then go an rants about.
There are only two things I hate….. change and diversity.
Retards are going to hell….. God hates them…. I mean just look at them.
So there was this kid that came by me and some guys and he was different…. so we beat him up and chased him out of town. They’re different…. let’s get ‘em.
I’m not racist…. I’m uber racist….. I only like white Catholics. I like polar bears….. they’re white.
Bush is the best president ever. He ain’t done nothing wrong yet and he ain’t ever gonna do anything wrong.
God… you just have to picture him saying it too. He’s wearing tight jeans one size too small, a flannel sleeveless cut-off… cigarette in one hand, beer in the other. It’s just too funny.

Then there’s Scott. I get along with him best…. great sense of humor but can also be really mellow. Also very sarcastic. He’s been out on a boat that does a bed and breakfast tour thing… but is still a fishing boat…. all summer. He was damn tired and just happy to relax and be on land.
Paul and Adina couldn’t come sadly.
My cousin Beth was also there… the only girl of the family… she’s awesome… but a crazy vegetarian…. can’t eat shit with a face on it. But we get along well… hell I get along with all of them.
So my Aunt Janet was there…. she’s mother of Matt, Mike, Scott, Dave, and Paul… se was drunk all day Saturday and it was hysterical to watch….. because she gets drunk and doesn’t care and will say anything and embarrass herself in front of her kids all night long. I’ve told them they all need to see my Mom drunk too… because she’s as bad… but she’d never let herself get that way in front of my father’s family.
My Aunt Kathy sits there and is quiet and knowledgeable.
Neither of my grandparents were there thankfully.
So anyway… we drank beer all day and night right there at the cottage. From 3 PM until 3 AM. though by midnight all of my cousins had drifted off because they’d all driven there that day from Boston or Maine or PA.

Well… then came work. I was very tired…. I was slightly still inebriated….. and I barely remember it now. Lee never showed up for her shift…. which meant Laurel stayed very late. Jen came in a little early. Paul was closing and was his usual self…. chasing after women. At least he makes it easy for me…. no oh God work harder.
I remember the end of the shift….. Nadejda, Lily, and June….. which was fine…. we got work done. Lily is the best blocker in the world…. she’s just awesome…. did 3, 6, 7… and all were perfect looking.
Adam Costa was on carts…. but he actually got them all in before he left… I was impressed.
Oh yeah… I spent much of the shift training Ben and Billy Gravelle how to CDH…. kind just showing them what to do… how to close, etc. It was fun…. I love training people.

Then she was all… you know you are too… and stalked off. Oh….. stupid cunt.
So today. Today was a good day…. most was handed off perfectly. Had only one audit to do. Did a sweep. All was in good shape. Got everything done too… including more FE candy.
Except of course I came in and people who should have had their breaks at 5 PM had not and it was 6 PM. Poor Rob was all….. when you’re not here…. no one gives me my break. Yeah….. It hits 4 PM and Paul just stops caring about shit… and Bri was certainly not going to get it done.

So… as mentioned above….. Fawn was in SD training Ben tonight. I think Ben will handle it well. I covered Fawn’s break and did some work with him too. He needs a lot more training in there…. and needs to be in there with CDH’s that know the SD or he’s gonna be left high and dry probably…. much like I was when they threw me in there with 2 days of training and just left me to myself.
So Beth called me at work today. It was awesome… she all needed to borrow some bags. And then we made more plans to go out drinking. I was so upset that I couldn’t last time thanks to stupid tendonitis. Then I’ve had one night off a week and no car that night. I’m hoping for Friday night maybe. That would be good.

Paul is FE manager while closing, Justin Produce Manager while closing, etc. She’s free to just be the closing manager. Of course the real reason is I just say shit like that to her and she leaves me alone. The more I talk to her about getting everything done… the more she just never bothers me. I never saw her from 9:30 to 11:30. She came up twice to just ask what needed to be done… and I told her all we had left and she just went back…. all good.

I’d’ve been engaged and entertained except he talks just to hear himself and is all nasty annoying and sleazy and I just don’t particularly like him.
Then there was Jared. He did carts. I went out at like 10:30…. Oh God carts everywhere. It looked like he had done carts while inebriated. I hope for his sake he did…. because then at least he would’ve probably enjoyed it more that way. Though in truth….. he left at 9 PM. And the difference in carts being okay and a complete mess is really that half hour between 9 and 9:30. Anytime the cart person leaves at 9 PM… it’s just too early and carts get fucked up big by 10 PM… it’s a whole hour and busy enough to get a lot back out there.
So he came in with Adam tonight….. and I got the truth about his call in a couple of days ago…. it was not his father that called him in but his friend who is in fact like 18 and sounds appropriately so. I also gave him a bit of a hard time about the carts being so messy…. but he just is so quiet and unresponsive about it. I mean… he just never says anything to me. I don’t mind…. but it just seems so shitty to work all night and not talk to people and have fun. I feel like he should… I don’t know… loosen up…. talk to people… get to know them. I mean… I know he talks to Adam and Ben Barnaby…. but other than that I never see him talk to anyone. Plus… the more he talks with the other CDH’s…. the more they’ll be inclined to go easier on him. It’s how it works…. you get people to like you and they go more out of their way to be nice and stick the shitty jobs on other people. Serisously…. all of us bitch about who we hate… and those are the first people we send to do unpleasant shit.
Oh God… insert Sunday night story. I asked Dave Allard to do bottle machine… and he was all I don’t know how to do it and told me to make Ben do it. What the fuck. He was a CDH… he fucking knew how to do it… he was just too fuckign lazy. I fucking hate that guy so much. Tonight he was in shopping and went to selfscan and I sent Matt Leone down there to watch his entire order. Matt was trying to go do a return… and I said go watch selfscan I need you to watch it there’s someone I don’t trust. He looked down and was like who…. Dave? I was like yes. So he asked why since Dave was like a CDH. I was like… Matt I don’t have time… he’s stolen from this store before…. I don’t trust him… go watch. He did… nothing happened…. but damn if I’m trusting that piece of shit.
So yeah…. the first people I send to do shit are Dave Allard…. Dick England…. Alex Connolly…. Billy Ahmed…. Adam Costa (If its not too hard a job). It’s how we do it…. we watch out for our good employees. Of course… if I know a person likes certain job… I let them do it…. but if it’s one that no one likes… the first person I send is the shitty people who deserve bad jobs.
So yeah…. as for other people around. I love Rob Duffany. That kid is just so awesome. He’s funny and can be jocular and sarcastic back…. which I approve of. Plus he’s a damn good worker. I wish I had more of him around. Also…. Alanna continues to make me happy. She does whatever. She even volunteered to clean up a milk spill…. I give her credit for that.
Now fail customers. Mrs. I get it free. So it was Post-It notes…. shelf tag said $3.49…. but dumbasses in GM marked them with price tags of $2.99. So I take care of it for her and tell Rosa to put it in for the 2.99… and then the woman’s all…. no it scanned wrong…. I get it free. I’m sure my face fell right into FUCK YOU CUNT. I turned away to go get a price accuracy and acted like I had forgotten the policy…. which of course I had not. She all searched around and found it on the register to point it out in case I wasn’t sure of it. More….. shut up now or I will kill you. So I did the price accuracy…. but then Rosa cashed out her order before I had put it in…. because Rosa just doesn’t know. I wanted the paperwork to be accurate so I rang it up separately on my register to put in the Price Accuracy to make it free. She just kept going on about how it wasn’t my fault or Rosa’s fault and how she didn’t blame us or whatever. I just wanted to fucking slug her…. shut the fuck up you already got your free shit…. now go die please. I don’t care whose fault you think it is or how entitled you are to free shit. Fawn said what she tells people that unless you pay for it… you don’t get it free. I like that… I need to use that next time some bitch gives me shit.
Lastly….. my poor MI girl. She went to MSU… so I call her Michigan girl. She waitresses at Tomatoes…. she had a horrible night. One table of a couple that shared everything to lessen the cost and tip… and then tried to pay in coupons. What the fuck. Then…. Mark… the owner who is an ass, a sleaze, and a monster…. made her drink alcohol….. she tried to order the least alcoholic stuff she could… and she did… but he made her drink it and pressured the hell out of her… and she had two… when she didn’t want to….. she just had a baby a couple of months ago too. So she finally just bailed and left the bartender there by herself…. and the bartender gave her poor you just left me out here to die looks…… she said it was like something from Boys Don’t Cry. I felt so bad for her… gave her a nice hug. I need to go in there sometime before I leave… I love her… she’s awesome.
I think that’s all for now. I’m totally beat….. just feeling exhausted….. yet highly tempted to play some dot hacks. We shall see.
