Day: The Nineteenth
So as you may know, my car has been ill. Except, it's just the AC belt, which really isn't that important. I just don't use AC, and that's fine. I don't usually anyway; I like the windows down. But my dad decided to be proactive for ONCE in his life, and he sent my car to the shop anyway. Of course this means we only have one car to share between us.
This is not good. He didn't inform me of his decision until he had done it either. Of course, today I had class from 8:20-11:10a and work from 2-11:30p. Also I have a project due tomorrow that I'd like to actually work on in that break time. So this poses a dilemma. Dad drives me to school in the morning on his way to work at 6:30. Then he has to leave work early, and drive me home before 2. So he picks me up around 1pm, and that's cutting it close. I'm already annoyed at that because, I don't know, I'd like to eat something before going to work for 9 and a half hours.
So we're driving along and around 1:15, dad gets a flat tire. Fantastic. We pull over onto the little triangle between the main highway and an exit (the exit just happens to be an Interstate, so imagine how many cars go flying past us.) Dad puts on the little dinky spare and now it's already 1:30. We get home, and I pretty much have time to throw on a shirt and get to work.
Work. 2-11:30 is a horrible shift now matter what day it is. Add it on top of an already stressful day. Then I get to work and hope that either Lisa or Alex is working so that I can maybe bum a ride from them. Oh no. I get Dan. Manager Dan, who really does not de-stress a person. Within his first drink he's already swearing under his breath and throwing things.
Also when I have a bad day? EVERYTHING is annoying. Stupid kids who order Starbucks drinks? Dan saying "let me finish" to a customer? A million people coming in while I'm trying to make cooler mix so it ends up taking me two hours? Annoying customers who come in 1 minute before close, and then complains about the last time they came in to get a drink because they made it up themselves and it was horrible and then asks me to make them something like a cooler only sugar free which is freaking IMPOSSIBLE and ends up ordering 4 shots, sugar free turtle syrup, 6 splenda, and HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM all blended up JUST TO TRY and then DOESN'T BUY IT AND LEAVES 10 MINUTES AFTER WE'RE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE??? *stabs everything*
Plus, as I was leaving the store at 11:36 pm, all I could think about was that I had 24 minutes to post. I HATE TODAY.
TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER, BY THE WAY. My car is STILL not fixed. Even though it was supposed to be done yesterday. And it's a freaking belt, how long does that take??? So I have to go to school AGAIN at 6:30 am tomorrow even though my class doesn't start until 11:20, give a presentation, and then have my dad leave work early again so that he can drive me home so I can go to work at 4.
THE END. Only not really, because here's the song and fact stuff.
Song of the Day: Alanis Morissette - Ironic I told Alex I'd upload an Alanis song just for him. And then he requested Ironic, So there you go. It's a bit fitting. Though maybe one of the songs where she's screaming would be better.
Random fact of the Day: An albatross can sleep while it flies, even at speeds of 25 mph.
P.S. All of this post was completed at 11:59 except for the stupid music file. Now it is exactly midnight, but I think it still counts because I said so.
