Update
Well, again....it has been awhile. These seem to just be getting fewer and far between, but what can I say? LOL The next 3 weeks are probably going to be the most stressful weeks in my whole YEAR. School is not going as well this term as I would have hoped. I had to drop one of my classes just due to the fact that I am simply wearing myself far too thin. I only have two more days left of the class and haven't DONE ONE DAMN THING FOR IT. Hence, it's gone and I will have to re-take it next term. Phlebotomy is another class I don't really want to discuss....I hope that my instructor just lets us get as much done as we can and lets us slip by with that because I, as most of the class, am REALLY, REALLY behind. In an attempt to catch up (to my stupidity) I agreed to partner up with some other people in my class to get an assignment done (since most of the time I am oblivious to what or when something is due) and we ended up getting IN HUGE TROUBLE. Basically, they said we cheated and we actually had to have a meeting with the Dean. IT was kind of scary....he said that he could either kick us out of school or put us on academic probation, but that he was going to let our instructor (who I hate) decide what our punishment was going to be. So basically, I got 50% on the project, which in all actuality is an F, but I suppose is better then no credit or getting kicked out of school in my last term at that campus. Yeah...
Work is going as well as can be expected for working in a department store during the holidays. I haven't had too many days where it was soo busy that I wanted to kill myself and I haven't really had any run-ins with any people who were TOO rude. It is bound to happen sooner or later though. And the Christmas help they have hired are COMPLETE idiots. I had to work with this guy Josh the other night and he is almost scarily slow. Not to mention, he asked me before he did ANYTHING. I am not in charge of him and I am not his keeper. Also, it was busy and he is more or less afraid of the cash register, so I had to do about 20 things at once. Not to mention letting him close a register is like almost ensuring that I will have to do it over when he messes it up. Thank god that by 11pm it was slow and he could take his time and I could keep my eye on him. It's sad that working with someone like that is like babysitting. I am NOT getting paid to do that. Then there is Robbie, who is my supervisor's new favorite employee. Now, I have my suspicions about that one, being that Cary (my supervisor) is gay. I find it very odd how that LINE never got more hours then my LINE until Robbie took it. Now it seems that he is getting most of the part-time hours and the rest of us just kind of get what it is left. THAT irritates me beyond belief because he has only been at M&F a month and I have been there almost 6 now. Everyone thinks he is completely fake and annoying, I don't really know if I can stand working with him for that much longer. The only fun thing about working at M&F are the stock boys, because they are all soo hilariously funny and the biggest flirts I have ever known. It's funny how they will "take a break" just to come hang out at the register and talk. The other day, one of the guys (Wes, who I kinda am crushing on) got me into trouble with the tattle tale (Suman) because he stood at the register and talked to me for like 15 mins. Although there weren't any customers, Suman thinks standing around and doing nothing is WRONG. Yeah, that's why she was one of the people getting lectured for just that on Saturday and I was the only associate there that was actually working...then she has the audacity to tell the store Manager Ren, that none of the Part-time people do any work. Okay, so then how come I WAS THE ONLY ONE WORKING!!?? Yep, she is a total bitch.
As for my social life....well, if I had more time and wasn't soo sleepy all the time I think it would be a lot better. For the most part though, it has been pretty good. I have met a few really kewl new people recently and it has been nothing but good times with them. Chances are a lot more fun will be had once this term of school is over. I cannot wait until next term when it is going to be ONE thing to focus on instead of 6 and it will be just me and Rachel. I will also be going to class a lot earlier, so I will have most afternoons and evenings free on the nights that I don't work, which will be completely awesome. This could also help me get some more hours at work because I will be able to work some hours that Robbie won't be able to. I guess we will just see what happens. Anyways, I am going to cut this here, because it is getting long and I need to dry and do my hair. =)
