So all things come to pass... (it just sounded good)

Thursday was my last day at Brenden, and it kinda sucked. Since it was Thursday, it was pretty much empty of customers AND floor staff. I opened frontstand and was on reg. 4, Christi was in box and Sandy was on podium. That's it. There were Chiefs, but no James or Will or any of my favorite/good buddies. I DID see them both that day when they came in for paychecks, but that's all. I didn't care at the time because I was going to work yesterday and today as well, but Matt from the theatre called and asked if I wanted the days off since it was STILL dead even on the weekend. It was sad. I was hoping that my friends would work with me those days so I could say good-bye and have fun on my last days. It was all so...sudden. I was robbed of the poignant feeling of loss that I'd wanted to have. It was like, "Nice having you here. Good-bye. *door politely but firmly closed behind me*"
I mean, I worked there for a year and a half, and that's not time to be lightly taken for granted. It would be like, on her last day at Dairy Queen, Mel was the only one working and there were hardly any customers all day. No one to say "We'll miss you!" or "Good luck!" just..... nothing. It really REALLY bit. And that's what will probably happen when I leave for Sac. I want to know that people will miss me.

It hasn't been all bad though. I mean, yeah Anthony's truck is STILL out of commission and won't be fixed for maybe another week, thus completely distroying our Japantown idea, but I got to see him yesterday night. It was so impromptu. Alisha called me to tell me that Chris invied her, me and Anthony to swim at his house and, apparently, Anthony had agreed for the both of us.
Now, I didn't mind the prospect of going to Chris' house and seeing them, but if Alisha hadn't told me when she did, I would only have been given an hour to get ready from Anthony himself. My legs were so hairy, it was to the point where I was sad to have to shave them due to my pride at the growth on them. But we all got to Chris' house and Alisha lent me a swim suit because I had lost mine, and we swam and hung out together in the hot tub and it was really nice to be a couple-y together. ^__^
Afterwards (around 8:41) we got out of the pool and while Alisha and I changed, Anthony started playing Halo. *Siiiiiiiigh* He played for awhile, but since we only had to be home at 11:30 and he was staying the night, I let him (even though I was getting annoyed that I can't leave him and an X-box alone in the same room.) He turned it off, and the four of us finished watched Ron White on Comedy Central. It felt nice to have him in my arms and have his head on my lap, but it was short-lived. We had to go, but our good-byes were long. I don't think Alisha made it home in time...
She and I are planning on doing something on Tuesday, but I finished my books so I don't know how I'll survive Monday!
