promises, promises
so, as promised, update on weekend.
well, i work at an automotive parts factory every weekday and make about twice minimum wage. so, pretty sweet. the job is piss easy, working machines and assembling stuff. the biggest part of it is chilling with the rest of the people. mostly older women in my area and they all call me "hun" or "dear". except Helen, who calls me Kid, or Aleksa, which i appreciate. my supervisor has not yet learned how to pronounce my name. so i'm taking a poll, is "Aleksa" hard to pronounce, or unusual in some way? i personally know a mother who named her daughter after me cuz she liked the name so much. and her son, who is my age (the daughter is a few years younger obviously) has the same name as my dad. but David is more common i guess. my point is that this does not happen to people with strange names. so, does anyone find "Aleksa" weird and hard to pronounce? this question is not for Jonny who spells it phonetically: "Uhlexuh". but for everyone else, i'm curious.
and so in retaliation, Helen suggested i mispronounce my supervisor's name. so i also need advice. how many ways can i mispronounce "Al"?
also, this coming Friday is a day off at work, cuz they want us to come in tomorrow which is supposed to be a holiday or something. anyway, if i sign up in time and i get approved to come in (meaning that the full-timers who get first shot aren't taking all the spots) then i come in for my full shift on friday and get TRIPLE PAY. yes thats right, triple time, bitches. for those of you playing the home game, thats $45.45 AN HOUR. for an 8 hour shift. now this is during the week, mind you. not giving up any weekend time for this. i didn't even know it was a holiday until last thursday. so i planned to come in. and now i do it for TRIPLE PAY. that is, of course assuming that the regular employees leave us summer students some spots. and they usually do, my fellow summer bitches have had quite a bit of overtime so far. so the outlook is pretty swell, if i do say so.
also, went to see "knocked up" with my mom today and saw her laugh so hard she shot water out her nose. so a good week over all.
later haters.
