I'm sending Photoshop to Heidi so I figured I would take the time to update.
Ten minutes later, I still can't think of anything to write.
It is now 2:19 am in the morning. I got off the phone with Heidi and I figured I should finish this SOMEHOW.
I'm sweating to the extreme.
This weekend I think I am getting the nape. Hopefully mom will pay for it. Then, I just have the lowbrets to do.
Today I went to a carousel in East Prov. and they still have the rings on the carousel. I got the gold ring, so I got a free ride! We then went to some place in Seekonk to ride go carts. They have this track that is covered in some...thing that makes it slippery. The wheels have no traction, it's like ice. Turning a corner, you just slide all over the place, it's really fun. I have to go to work in a few hours, and I still need to sleep.
I realize why I hate summer so much. I can't just sit here and sweat and sleep whenever I want for a few weeks. There is no not showering or changing or leaving my room. I need to do all of that. That was the only thing I enjoyed about summer, but now I have to work, and I only have weekends off. Hopefully, after the 6th, I'll have a week before I start working somewhere else.
Winters now, they are great. Especially on a Monday in school, and it starts snowing. You go home and have some homework to do and I can just relax. No fires, no warm house, none of that unrealistic stuff. I just like the notion of hibernating. At the end of autumn, and in winter, it's like a rollarcoaster before the big hill. You're heading towards winter, and there is no way out. Can't go outside, can't play, probably will get a cold, probably will get sad and feel blah for a while.
Tim Hortons, Dunkin Donuts, Job Lot, Wendys, Ocean Pharmacy, YMCA, Family Dollar, the other Tim Hortons, Stage Coach Inn, Hack and Livery.
I know I refuse to work as a dishwasher, so I didn't include any of the golf courses, or pizza places. Don't think I want to work at Wendys. Or the YMCA, that place smells, as does Family Dollar. I would work at Tim Hortons before Dunkin Donuts because Dunkin Donuts gets extremely crowded whereas T.H. doesn't. So now I have T.H, Job Lot, Ocean Pharmacy, the other Tim Hortons, Stage Coach Inn, Hack and Livery.
Tim Hortons is a coffee place.
Job Lot is basically a step below a Wal-Mart.
Ocean Pharmacy is a pharmacy with a store in it. A step below a Brooks.
Stage Coach Inn is rooms and little stores. Antiques, candy.
Hack and Livery is this odd store. Penny candy, weird things.
No Stage Coach Inn. I'd break something. Job Lot is boring. I want to at least do something I could enjoy.
Now I have two T.H. to choose from, Ocean Pharmacy, Hack and Livery.
Of those, I can discard Ocean Pharmacy, not because there's something I dislike about it. It's small, and I'd probably be a stock/cashier/multi-purpose person...which is fine. Just of those, I think this might be the least pleasurable.
Two T.H.'s & Hack and Livery. Hack and Livery is small. Very small. And filled with stuff. Windchimes, candles, train sets, toys, things that twirl in the wind. A store like that. Again, very small. T.H.'s is small, but a lot of people go. Can get busy, whereas H&L most likely doesn't. Would have to deal with a lot of people I know from school (not good). I also can't really mess up there, or else I'll hold up a huge line and be laughed at and look stupid. H&L seems to be the prevalant workplace. I shall have to see if they are hiring. I know Laura Caswell works there, but besides that I think some foreign people own it and work there. I wonder if they are hiring. I will see if I can check this out before the 6th.
I'm also looking for a place that can let me work only 1 or 2 days a week and weekends. Being a small place, I do not know if they can grant me that. T.H.'s would (my friend works there and does that very same thing). However, H&L would be much less stressful and their hours are such that I probably wouldn't be working past 8 o'clock on a weekend. That is certainly a perk. If they only stay open to 8, probably 6. And on a school day, I could work more than 1/2 days a week with such little hours.
I am racking my brain for any other places to work around town. I don't think many people go into this selection process that I am now. Most just want a job and money and all that. I do, as well, but this is something I want to be able to enjoy a little bit.
I would work at any of these places, except Stop and Shop (which I did not even enclude at all) because Bobby works there. Not that, but I just do not like what I have heard from them. Plus, everyone from town goes there.
Are these the only places? I am now picturing that road into town and all the stores.
Flower Shop
Foxwoods
UBS
Lickety Splits
Animal Hospital
Dunkin Donuts
Tim Hortons
Stop and Shop
Wendys
Blockbuster
McDonalds
Job Lot
Bickfords
Village Pizza
Doug Out
Family Dollar
Lolitas
Bali Village
Town Pizza 2
Tim Hortons
Ocean Pharmacy
YMCA
Stage Coach Inn
Wood River Inn
URE Outfitters
Ma & Pas
H&L
Kingston Pizza
Enchanted Forest
That's as far as I can go out. I would never work at an amusement park, if Enchanted Forest can be called that. Like I said, no pizza places, or dishwasher scenes. No flower shop, Lickety Splits, Animal Hospital, UBS, no Blockbuster (don't think I am old enough), no Doug Out, definitely no Chinese place, no YMCA, and no Wood River Inn. I would never work at a outdoor equipment store so scratch out URE Outfitters. Ma and Pas does not hire my age people.
Seems like I keep coming back to Ocean Pharmacy, T.H.'s, and H&L.
That is all. My brain can no longer think. If you think of any other places, please tell me. And if you work at any of these places, tell me what it is like. I know Jen works at Dunkin Donuts. How was the training and the fitting in process?
Fuck. I am tired. It is not 2:54.
