Tomorrow is the last day of summer drawing class up in Grass Valley. Hard to believe the end is here, but I'm not complaining. What's especially nice is that, if I added the numbers up right, I'm completely safe from failing the class (which was a rather large worry for me), and I should have enough points gathered to secure at least a B. I'm not ( Read more... )

For the past few nights I've been dreaming a lot about work for some reason. Usually it focuses on dealing with particularly difficult customers (or at least that's the memorable part of the dream), though these customers aren't any specific customers I've helped. Dreaming about work is annoying though ( Read more... )

I'm back from my sister's graduation in Portland. It was pretty nice, because I got to see family and others I haven't seen in a long while. The ceremony itself was fairly boring, but there were some entertaining moments like when one of the professors mentioned how it was too bad the graduating students would have to be competing with the more ( Read more... )

Similarly, it's looking very likely that I will be unemployed by May, because I'm really not expecting Kohl's to grant me three fourths of the month off. I really hope I can find my vacation request form, or else there won't be even a chance of having a job when I come home ( Read more... )

My new semester begins on Monday, but a few days ago I got a call from the school saying my environmental horticulture class was canceled. Fortunately I was able to get it replaced by another class that will hopefully fulfill some of Columbia's general education requirements. While I was searching for the replacement though, I realized that there ( Read more... )

I just totally fucked up the family plans and may have messed with a coworker's schedule in the process of rectifying my original mistake. We were planning on taking a family portrait today, since we haven't in several years, but I stupidly decided to take over half of a coworker's shift the day that we had planned to have the portrait taken. I ( Read more... )

I guess so! My dad and I spent pretty much the entire day together having a pretty awesome time. After running some errands first, we had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. I'd never been there before, so I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but that bison burger was pretty tasty. Woulda been tastier if they'd put the produce on TOP of the meat and cheese, but y'know ( Read more... )

After last Friday's rant, I spent a few days researching ADD, so I could be a little more informed about what the condition actually entails. That was probably a bad idea though, because the more I read, the more it sounded like I actually had it. I suppose I have been mostly convinced that it does actually exist in more than just a few cases, so ( Read more... )

For the past few nights, I keep meaning to post on here about stuff that's been happening, but I keep not doing it. Since I'm here already, I'm just gonna say what I can think of saying so I can get some sleep ( Read more... )

For starting out so stressful, today ended up being really awesome. I made it to work on time after directing my dad to a motel 6 near O'Hare (I called him on my first 15 to make sure he managed to find it). The first couple hours at work was cashiering as usual (on an awesome note, I managed to get three credits before two hours had passed) until ( Read more... )
