A Soap Opera: Scene One
God, my life is pathetic. It could be a soap Oprea...
Today was not a good day.
I've not ben sleeping well. Probably because I sleep on a futon matress on my floor. Whatevs. But work is the reason it was bad.
So, my mom makes me call in even though I haven't worked in, seriously, two weeks. I called and "Peggy" answered and said she was thwe manager. I'm like "WTF, I don't know Peggy and I know all the managers..." But I'm "excited" about working. Excited is in quotes because I'm not really excited. More like glad to be getting out of the house since I've not left it, you know...? But, really not excited because now I hate my job. The other day, my mom was like: "Now I can tell people I have known someone who was hired and then not given work." I was like "T.T Thanks, mom..." Anyway, I digress.
So, I get a call from Alexis at one and I'm stoked! I haven't talked to her in so long and I miss her! *heart* But, my mom beeps in. So I answer, and she's not there. Fiver seconds later I have to answer another beep and it's her telling me stupid things I already know ("Make sure the cats are in before you leave, Nicole." And, "You have money on your card if you get hungry at work." Duh. Thanks mom.) So, I beep back to Lexi and she's really nice and diplomatic and is like "Wekk, you have to work soon, so I'll let you go." and we're hanging up, and my mom beeps in again. I don't answer. I call her back and she's like: "Turn the porch light on because you'll be getting back late." Then she tells me she gave Cara my phone and she'll give it back when she picks me up.
OH! That's right! My mom takes my cell phone because hers "Isn't working." Bull shit. I called her half an hour after she leaves and she doesn't pick up my phone, so I call her on her phone and Ta Da! it works.
Anyway, I take my two-and-a-half hour bus ride to work, and as soon as I walked in the manager comes up to me and says "Did you call in earlier?" I'm like "Yeah..." And she's like "I'm sorry," and I think, "Aww, crap. This can't be good." And she goes "I don't work here, I'm from another store and I got the names mixed up. You actually don't have to work. You can go home."
Boom.
Now I'm about to cry and feeling sick and so I call my brother because I don't want to take another two and a half hour bus ride so soon. So he picks me up an hour and a half later and we go look at tattoo places with T.J. and watch him get one on his leg.
Then drop me off home at eight and I'm by myself. Again. So I read all night. I just finished Kingdom Hearts 2.
Ah, wonderful. Mom just walked in the door and is bitching at me to go to sleep. Christ! I know what time it is. I'm a big girl, I know what I'm doing. Whatever.
