Sup y'all! I am currently listening to the most awesome CD that has ever existed on my computer....Daughtry! This guy is awesome. He rocks his brains out like there's no tomorrow. Anyway, supposedly I'm not spending enough time with my family and I am spending way too much money on random stuff (and people like Chris and Christian). It is really starting to piss me off. Just yesterday we were going to Taco Bell after our bowling and then told me that if I paid for Taco Bell that he would reimburse me from his personal paycheck that he was going to get from Carl's Jr. that day. I thought, well, why can't I just drive you to your work right now and then you can walk your fat ass inside and get your check so I don't have to waste my own expenses on your lard-like stomach! So we both did so and he ended up taking his whole paycheck in cash, which was around $150 worth of money. Seriously folks, I'm a spender, but I don't just randomly cash my whole paycheck. I thought that he was going to spend the whole thing on Taco Bell, but he had $115 left. But then again, he only withdrew $120. Anyway, my dad was telling me yesterday how my mom went to bed angry at me because I took a phone call while we were all watching Cars together. We were eating my favorite Chili by the way! And then without even informing of me of her anger, she just opted to go upstairs and go bed. It wasn't until later that night that I found out from my dad that she was very upset that I did that because she was feeling that I did not spend enough time at home with the two of them. Well, here are the facts. I really wish her arguments were not true, but the truth is, they are. I don't really spend that much time at home. And when I am home, my parents are usually asleep. Either that or I have to rush out the door for school because I woke up late again. I admit that I am such a late night owl; spending my time out on the streets of Granite Bay or at Alena, Chris, Christian's or my own house. And when we're not at each others houses, we are together doing something extracurricular. You know, something other than being at our own houses. I really do feel bad about because I have been doing the same things to my grandparents. Prior to meeting all these people, I used to call them up all the time to see how they were doing. But now, I haven't done that religiously in months. Heck, years! I think. But I still do go over and visit them every once in a while.

In my opinion, I have started to pick up the slack a little bit. Because of all these allegations against me that I don't spend enough quality time at home talking to my parents about the big and little things in my busy life, I have decided it best to stay home more often. Besides, I have homework and stuff to do at home. I need a lot less distraction. Chris and Christian and Alena just don't understand that I have a life outside of hanging out with them. Those dummies just haven't realized yet that homework is supposed to come first, not this silly childish thing they call "play" lol! But anyway, enough about that, lets talk about something even more daily, work!

Work is a drag! I currently work at Target as a cashier. Before my hiring, I was very hesitant to get a job at Target. It seemed just like any other normal grocery store that wouldn't be willing to supply me with hours and they would just not appreciate my personality or my sense of humor and I would eventually be hmmm..."laid off" lmao! I've been wrong so far though. Even though I must say it seems to drag on a lot, you can make friends with just about anybody you come across. There are so many different people I like. There's Celeste, MARY JEAN!, Sharon, Reggie, Myles, Scott, Gunner, Heather, Kasey, Tracy, Barbara, Chad (who is the store executive), Kelsey Dion (whom I haven't seen since Greenhills), Ricky, Jason, Katie, and so many other people that I can't remember the names of. Anyway, it is so awesome working with these people and it makes the day go by so much quicker! I am actually excited to go to work every day because of Target. And as far as hours go, every day I'm not in school, I work (I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays)! Tell me they don't like me. Oh, and get this, they have decided to keep me beyond the holiday season because they like me so much. I feel so honored...honestly. The cash registers are a breeze to operate. You have these things called K Keys where it gives you the options of things to do. And it also guides you step by step through processes of payment so that you don't have to do all the guess work. Also, if a guest is slow on making payment (which is most all senior citizens), you can suspend their transaction so it won't ruin your speed score...which is supposedly 92% right now. I'm pretty fast. I just have to work on my conversion score a little bit, which is selling RED Cards. It's a little hard for me to do, but I sold 6 on Black Friday! My conversion jumped hella high that day. But it's difficult during non-holidays. Tracy taught me not to say it so repetitively which is a great idea. I do say it a lot. Anyway, unlike the lake job, you actually do clock out for your breaks, which by the way are 45 minutes long. This is mostly where my binge buying happens because I either go to Carl's Jr. or buy something pointless that I really don't need. But then again, I have so much money at my fingertips that I feel like I can solve world hunger. What was really fun today was getting a free lunch from Food Ave. for helping them restock food. I love it back there. And I get to work with Sharon, who is awesome to work with!!!!
