The longest Tweet you'll ever read
I just got back from the Strawberry Street Cafe (you know, the place in the Fan with the salad bar in a bathtub?) and one of my friends mentioned LiveJournal, and how Twitter and Facebook has replaced Ye Olde Long Blog Posts here on LJ.
I still think LJ is good for long ranty diatribes that won't .quite. fit as a Twitter status.
I'm afraid I'll forget everything so a part of me wants to just let the word vomit spill out into a blog today.
This is how life goes for me: work, class, work on website, yoga, hang out with friends, volunteer, rinse, repeat. On the weekends I volunteer at a sawmill taking nails out of big beams of wood. We recycle the wood and donate the profits to my brother's school. Also I have been working for Dominion Green Power. I am an avid supporter of alternative energy and renewable resources but this job is mostly standing in front of a table while uneducated people yell at me and ask me, "What's wrong with oil?" (My green rant under the cut.)
Why are people so rude? You see me standing by a table supporting green power. If you don't like it, don't talk to me. But DON'T waltz up to me and start arguing with me. Because I assure you... I have taken classes at an ivy league college about the Carbon Cycle and the natural cycle of warming and cooling that the Earth goes through. Most of the people that argue with me and love oil and polluting energy... look bitches, I went to Harvard and got an A. Don't fucking argue with me. A job is a job, why are you giving me a hard time? How will upsetting a little girl trying to do something good benefit you? So yeah... this is just my job, let me be... but I also happen to believe in the cause... why are people so rude?
All my group members quit or were fired, leaving me to hold up the team. I suck at this job. I'm no salesman. Sure I believe in this cause, but I can't convince people to pay more on their electric bills. People don't want to pay more money. The worst thing of all is when people want to argue with me about politics. It's like.. bitch... just let me do my job... it's not fair... I can't disagree with you because I'm supposed to be nonbiased and AT WORK acting like a professional. Ugh, I hate people. I know, I'm so misanthropic.
I've worked booths at the Farmers Market, the First Fridays art walk, you name it. I've gotten everything from free snow cones, to free all natural caffeine-free fair trade tea in a recycled bottle. I dream of quitting but my unpaid bills linger on my mind always. I'm fairly miserable, but I keep applying to other jobs, though I have long since lost hope. Maybe jobs that don't suck... don't exist.
I also still mind the front desk at the Edgar Allan Poe museum. Again, most of my coworkers quit or whatnot, so I have a lot of responsibility. I'm the only one who knows how to ring up internet orders at the gift shop and do menial clerical things at the cash register. I also am in a web design class this semester at Tyler and I've been hired to make a website for a client, which is quite time consuming.
Wednesday I had yoga class, a meeting in the office, then I volunteered at the museum, then I had work until 7 PM. Heather visited me while I was working a booth in front of Gold's Gym on Harvie. I was glad she was there to break up the monotony. There was also another guy trying to get people to donate blood--the Bloodmobile was parked across the street. While waiting for me to get off work, Heather donated blood and then I packed up and got on the bus and waited for her in the sweet sweet air conditioning. They gave me free drinks and a tshirt (which I wore to yoga today) even though I didn't even donate haha! Then we went to Panera and I was going home but then Other D texted me and asked if I wanted to see a movie. So I turned around and we saw Grownups at the Byrd theater for $1.99. Well actually it was free for me because Other D paid for me. On the way to the theater, I saw one of my ex-coworkers who used to work for Dominion and he pretty much asked me out, much to Other D's delight because she likes to tease me. He's gross and a smoker though. Grownups was a weird movie... like it had no conflict or gripping plot. It was really just an excuse for Adam Sandler and some random comedians to make jokes and hang out. But I'm glad I saw it. Worth every penny. (Get it? Because it was free for me?) I had a lot of work to do when I got home and it was about 3 AM before I could go to bed.
Now I'm tired of typing so this is all I will record about life for now.
Cheers.
