So yesterday at work I checked a guy's ID and he was from Naples! I told him, "I lived there for almost 7 years!" and was about to ask why he moved to Spokane when he looked me straight in the eye, pressed a button on his phone, and started talking to someone else. Never said hi, never asked how I was, and looked me in the eye as he completely ignored my attempt at being friendly. As he walked away I turned to the next people in line and told them, "That is why I don't miss Naples." >.<
I'm not depressed anymore. It kind of went away overnight. Thanks to the people who cared, worried, and helped. If I didn't respond it wasn't because I didn't appreciate it. I just didn't know what to say. My doctor still doesn't think it was the IUD, but I don't know what else it could have been. Oh, well.
I need to get out of Spokane. I hate this place more with every passing day, but I have to finish school. The people here...genetically they're cesspools. Dear god, the genetics. I grew up in backwoods MS and I've never seen so many inbred looking people. Most of them aren't well educated and don't have any interest in it. Many of them start having kids in their teens and keep going until they have 5 or so (frequently by different people). THEY STEAL EVERYTHING. Fuck! When we lived at the apartment someone stole a TREE. A $10, potted tree. WTF. When my parents were here we redid our floors (they're really nice looking) and left the unused boxes and saw on the porch while my dad and I ran to the store. My mom was home, the door was open, and people tried to steal it off of our porch, in our fenced in yard. Then when they saw my mom and our dog they went and stood on the street corner and waited for 20 minutes until they realized she wasn't going to go back inside. They steal from Lowe's and then get pissed when they can't return the $300 drill (that we've sold 0 of YTD and they have no receipt for) for cash. "My grandma bought it for me last week!" Then your grandma can come in here with the receipt. "She's sick!" Then how the fuck did she buy you a drill?
Ugh. I'm so tired of the crime, the dozens of 'car lots' that never, ever, ever have customers but are still in business (fronts, much?), the people who try to dump their counterfeit money on us, the men picking up hookers in BUSINESS TRUCKS (I called one of the businesses the other day and told them what was going on in their vans), and the general shittiness of it. GOD I miss Seattle. Ah, to live in a place where you don't get yelled at for riding a bike to work, where you can walk without people assuming you're a whore, where your neighbor isn't a meth head...
But it struck me recently that I only have a year & a half of school left, then a year & a half for my master's, then I'm free! Well, free to work for the rest of my life, but still. I'll miss my summers off, but I'll be glad to be out of school.
Speaking of working, I have the weekend off! Then I work the next 10 days straight. Oh, well. At least our new head cashier is AMAZING. He's like a long-lost brother :) And our really conservative, Christian head cashier? She and I agree on most points. Maybe not abortion and gay marriage and such, but we're very similar. It's nice. I like that she's intelligent (most of my co-workers are) and thinks her points through. She's taking a year off of school before starting her master's program, which I think is really fair.
Anyway, Dallin's gone to work now so I'm going to get to cleaning. Get a bunch of stuff done so he'll have a nice surprise when he gets home :)
