Dawn might be gone.
Well, work went pretty alright yesterday, except that I broke the time clock. xD
Dawn didn't get fired, but that is because she hasn't been back to work since the day the others got fired. I guess she knew it was coming. She just has to miss one more day without calling in and she is fired. So, I'm not sure if she went in today or not, but I hope not. I know, that a horrid thing to say but once she is gone the deli will be a pretty awesome place to work.
I know Elita is still there, but she is a funny person. You love to hate her. I mean, she is a likable enough person at times, it's just her bad days that get me. Dawn never had a good day.
Sadly, the new guy David quit yesterday. He suddenly moved to Georgia. He told work it was because his family was moving and he had to go with. He told Anna and I that it was because he was in some trouble and needed to hide. That really sucks because it seemed like he was a really cool person to work with. Someone that would always keep you laughing. I sure hope everything works out for him.
Speaking of work, we had a pretty in depth conversation at work yesterday. I am not sure if I have mentioned it before but I work with mostly black people, which is no problem for me. But one of those people is kinda... not really racist... how would I describe it. She doesn't hate white people, she just thinks they all owe her becasue of how SOME of them treat/treated black people. Anna. I know I have talked about her before. The one that I got into the black author discussion about.
I hate this type of racism. They don't even consider themselves racist, but it really is a form of racism isn't it? Anyway, me and Kita were talking about gay marriage and such things, and about how gays have little to no rights in Louisiana and different things. She had lots of questions, I don't think she has ever personally known someone that was gay, at least not someone as open about it as me.
Anyway, I am not sure how the conversation went this direction but I said something along the lines of "I'm kind of lucky, becasue you don't look at me and automatically think 'Oh, she's gay.' like some gay people. Like Sarah, you can tell she is and she gets treated differently, and looked at differently all the time. With me I have to tell you, well most people. Once they find out though, some people automatically look at you like a disease to society."
Kita said something along the lines of "Wow, I never thought of it that way. I have always thought gay people seemed friendlier, maybe it's because they know what discrimination feels like."
Anyway, I think this conversation really touched Anna. It seemed like Anna kinda felt like black people were the only ones ever discriminated against. She said "I never thought about that. I mean, blacks get treated like shit sometimes but at least we have the right to do something about it." (I had told them about the fact that Louisiana doesn't have laws protecting gay people from getting fired or not hired becasue of being gay) "No one can fire me for being black, and I can get married." It was like something clicked in her head.
Nick left yesterday. -pout- He is coming back for Christmas, so that's good news. My dad asked Emalee if she would be coming back too and she said she is thinking about it. That would be awesome because he gets to stay for a week or so then, I think. I really liked Emalee. Not just because of how happy I am to see her and Nick together, but because she is just a really cool person.
She is so someone that I would hang out with on a regular basis. She is fun, and keeps ya laughing. I miss them both already. Me and her had this like, instant connection. Friendship connection that is. I think Nick was really happy that we all liked her so much, but what's not to like!?
More sad news. Anita is about to move to New Mexico. Why is it when I start to befriend someone at work they move to another state!? What did I do!? Kidding, I know it's not me. This sucks, Anita is my favorite person to work with, her and Amber. Now Amber is switching to only weekends, Friday - Sunday, and I am about to stop working Sundays and I am most often off on Fridays.
Blah.
Anyway, I need to get my but in gear and get ready for work. Hope you all have a great day. ^.^
