so here we go
i look at today's date and you know what i see? i see that its one month before i turn 22. i dont know if i should be more excited, but really the only thing i'm excited about is that THE INCREDIBLES comes out on that day! i dont wanna write anything but i'm forcing myself because its only fair. my LJ deserves better than to sit here rotting and its not fair i have to read about everyone else's bad days and i get nothing! ok, so now for the update:
i got a tip today at work! no joke. this guy comes in and we're talking and i notice he's cross-eyed. not like that really mattered but for some odd reason the conversation kept hitting these uncomfortable lulls and i couldnt turn away! i just starred at him until he started talking again. i mean, if i turn away i'm rude, right? but starring is rude too... i couldnt win! so he's about to leave and he asks me how long i've been working there. i answer, the conversation hits the speedbump from hell, he takes out his wallet and from it a dollar and tells just hands it over! at which point i start stuttering trying to figure out what to do! so yeah, there we are, cross-eyed and stuttering -- it was quite the show. i know what youre thinking, "he's gay!!" but the sticker he was buying was for his girlfriend. i guess he's just... nice. who knew, there are nice people in the world.
while on the subject of work, a strange thing happened the other day. first, you have to understand that i've been at the bookstore for a year and i've climbed the ladder there and in that climbing i acquired the ability to make returns. you see, when a person goes into the store to make a return the employee either has to get a manager so they can type in their little code and the transaction can continue, or, if youre me, i can just type in MY code and continue on the return. well, a while back this customer comes in because they need to return something. i check the receipt and all and i type in my code and NOTHING. i turn to my manager who was standing right next to me and i ask him about it and he just says that i've "lost my return power." it was at that second in time that i realized something... i want to quit. i love my job but i want to quit. why? because that return power was the only indication that i'm making any progress at the bookstore and now i'm back to square one, or atleast it felt that way at the moment. they way i see it, its like this: i'm dating this beautiful girl. we've been going out for about a year now and i know its going nowhere. yeah, she's hot, but so what? i'm just wasting my time, right? ugh, i dont know. i think i'm gonna stick it out for a while and hope something better comes along.
ok, i'm tired, time for bed!
