oops. chelsea's stupid.
Well. I'm sitting here, on the couch, an hour after work got out, and feeling like a jerk. I do wish I could say that it wasn't my fault, but... to be honest, it totally was. Sometimes, I get off of work late. Very late. Obviously. And on those nights, often Jon comes to meet me. You know, so no boogeymen will get me. And I do like that, because it's both nice to have company and I always feel a bit safer with him about. I tried to text him at 11:45 to let him know that I would be leaving early and he didn't need to show up period. Obviously, the main mistake was that I didn't call. He didn't get the text, so when my co-worker asked me if I wanted a ride I thought "sure, why not? i let jon know i was going to be home early. this means that i'll just get to see him an entire half an hour earlier!'. Well, let's face it... that was stupid. Jon didn't get the text and even if he had, he probably was on the bus at that point anyway, so it didn't matter. However, if I had called him, I could have waited and spent an extra two hours with him this evening. Bah on Chelsea. I don't really know if he's miffed, but... he has every right to be, in my opinion.
On that note, silly bus system. When someone drives me home, I get there in about 10 minutes. The walk plus bus ride to work puts it in the area of 45 minutes. Lame. I love public transit, but sometimes I wish it was a tad bit more convenient.
To look on the brighter side, I'm getting better at handling the registers. I still ask too many questions and still tend to be really slow, but I'm working on it. I can only hope the managers like my work enough to pass it on that I'm a good employee so I can continue to get lots of hours. I can't be sure if anyone thinks I'm any good, but... we're all quite nice to one another, so that is a big plus.
Jon has turned me into a fan of Buffy. I never thought I would be. The episode I partially watched was seriously lame, so I swore off the series altogether. Funny, then, that I am now watching it with Jon every chance I get. Ah, how things change.
Thank you grandma and Jon for my birthday presents! I know only one of you reads this, but it holds still. I wore the lovely argyle sweater grandma got for me to work today and am waiting to open the other present with my cousin (at grandma's request). Jon's were probably the most awesome of the lot, since he bought me a bundle of Asimov novels and the video game BlazBlue (seriously crazy game!). Better yet, there is still one more present yet to arrive! I am thrilled! Working on my birthday sucks, but knowing people care makes it way better.
School starts this Tuesday. Am I ready for grad school? I really couldn't say... I will probably hang out on campus all day, buying books, wandering around, you know, the usual. Then classes begin at 4:30, if I'm not mistaken. I think it shall be both glorious and nerve-wracking. Yay! Thankfully I should only be working about 20 hours come that time. Or... come the week of the 7th, anyway. I imagine I will be needing to utilize that time for lots of study and research rather than earning an hourly wage.
