lately
I swear to God. Every time I go into Kaplan, there are more harsh sticky notes and fastidious warnings all over the center. The first one I remember seeing is on the responsibility list for KSAs (my position). Below the list of KSA duties, written meticulously by a slow hand, reads: "Our primary responsibility is to our students. We must adhere to these measures without exception." Thank you, new manager Donna. I've been working here 9+ months more than you have. Yeah yeah, in all sincerity, I understand that she has to establish her ground as our superior, but putting notes everywhere that say things like "we must do this" and "KSAs are NOT allowed to do this" and "this must be done daily, KSAs!" makes me want to wring someone's neck! Or maybe just scribble all over the notices... Today the proverbial 'red tape' I encountered was in the form of a small white sticker attached to the lower left corner of our computer monitor. "THIS COMPUTER IS FOR KAPLAN BUSINESS ONLY" with the biggest mother effing exclamation point that could possibly have fit on that glaring adhesive. Below that warning, written in a different pen (so I'm assuming it was added as an afterthought) reads: "NOT PERSONAL USE!" Welllllll, guess what?! I'M FUCKIN UPDATIN MY LJ ON THIS SHIT! WHO'S YOUR DADDY NOW?! I'm a 1337 hax0r; I'll just delete this site from the history and cookies. Honestly, putting restrictions on stupid stuff like this just makes me want to disobey more. What am I SUPPOSED to do when I run out of jobs that they give me! Some days I'm busy, others not. Call me lazy, but I'm not one to think up special jobs for myself while I'm getting paid a mere $7.50 an hour. As it is, I already have been asked to take on responsibilities that other KSAs have not - tasks that are, in reality, intended for the Center Manager to take care of. So Kaplan: suck my strap-on.
Anyway, I don't really own a strap-on, and besides the craptastic times at Kaplan, life is A-Ok! Michael and I had an amazing experience at Lucille and Richard's about two weeks ago. They weren't exactly present, but I'm sure that Michael and I telepathically communicated with them in our hazy state of euphoria induced by sippin in some heavenly... vapors right outside their house.... more of that, please.
Last weekend was the Cape weekend, and I just have to say that I have not had such an enjoyable weekend as that for as long as I can remember. Even when silly stupid things happened, (like getting coaxed to eat "beef stew" which turned out to be Dog food), I was still happy. Nick Jacobson, Ashley, and I drove down to the Cape Friday evening, and when we arrived, the festivities had already begun. Everyone got SO totally wasted, and every 10 minutes, I'd yell "skinny dipping on the beach in 5 minutes!" not really expecting people to want to do it. But I guess, by midnight, we were all so drunk that skinny dipping really DID seem like a great idea, so all 15 or 20 of us or so wandered to a nice little inlet and went insane throwing off our clothing and shit and bounding into the water. In retrospect, I wish I'd been a tad more modest about bouncing around in the water, giving everyone high fives and ... HUGGING people... but I don't even care. I knew almost everyone there, no one had a camera, and it was just a fun crazy event that I will always remember when I reminisce about college. :) A few people got eliminated.. and two people in particular had sex outside on the porch and left the condom! gross! The following day, we went dune jumping, bbq'd, played multiple drinking games, and got just as drunk as the night before for most of us (even though saturday is usually the more chill night of the two). Considering I didn't have to pay for a bed or anything and carpooled with others to minimize gas price.. on booze, food, and gas, I probably spent a total of $35. That's a fucking cheap vacation. I would do it again in a heartbeat. If you wanna see pictures, make sure you go to my webshots site which is linked in my enchanteressemoi profile.
I love the people I work with at my RAP job. I work with five other people mainly: Chris, Nate, Danielle, Justin, and Jenn (Scorpio/Sagittarius, Scorpio, Cancer, Cancer, and Aries). My bosses are Therese and Joe (Scorpio and Taurus), and they're mad insane. Chris is an intense guy, and his thirst for knowledge is almost intimidating! When we sit in computer labs with nothing to do, he reads about philosophy and metaphysics, and the coolest part is when he tells me what he learns from what he reads. Yesterday, I smoked with Nate and Justin. Nate is wicked chill, but he's still a mystery to me. I can tell he's a family man, and those who are nearest and dearest to him, he holds close. He brought his dog Sampson over, and I just loved the way he interacted with him. And he's hella good-looking and tall. I love love love Justin's personality; he is hilarious, has a great taste in music, and when he came over before Nate arrived, we played multiple games of mancala and I taught him how to play "High and Dry" by Radiohead on guitar. Danielle is a such a doll; she holds such an appreciation for everyone and where they come from. She just got back from a semester in Costa Rica and has cool stories that she shares, and she's really a hot ticket. Jenn is wicked fun and she's from PA! ENOUGH SAID! haha I'm soooo glad that I have at least one fire sign to work with. She's one energetic hoot. :o) Tomorrow night, Michael and I are having a big PASTA PARTY with the people we work with! Michael invited peer advisors (except for the one I invited, shit ;)), and I invited the RAP advisors. should be great! Justin's having a party Friday... Becky and Jose are coming up Saturday, and that night Ben, Nick, Ashley, and Colin are throwing a party at their place! So for the next few days, there should be plenty of brain damage and fun to go around!
Wellllll I think I've had enough PERSONAL USE on the KAPLAN BUSINESS COMPUTER for today. :oP peace out (please re-read in Kip's voice - napoleon dynamite).
