Mortifying night and tentalizing days
Well, I wish I had written sometime in the last two days, but I haven't, so I'll try to recount everything the best I can. This morning I had just finished an entry when the computer disconnected, destroying the whole thing. So here I am, trying again.
Work on Sunday- a customer tried to pull that crap again where I gave her four drinks and she insisted she paid for six. Well, this time I took up for myself. "Ma'am, I have you down for four drinks."
"No, you're wrong. I ordered six drinks!"
"Ma'am, here's a copy of your receipt."
"I don't care, I want my other two drinks."
"You ordered four, I gave you four!"
"I want to talk to your manager."
"Rex, please come over here and take care of this issue."
I was about to cry from fear and anger. I had never talked back to a customer before! "Oooh, Kristena's mad," Jail Josh chanted.
"I'm sorry ma'am, she's right. I can ring you up for the other two sodas, but she gave you what you ordered."
THANK YOU REX! The lady left and I calmed down after, oh, say twenty minutes. It was too much to deal with.But I was so proud of myself for not giving in to the customer. Let this be proof that the customer CAN be wrong!
Later that night, I asked Rex if he could let me out of the hole, just for a little while, because I was beginning to feel a little insane from working in a 4-by-4 foot space. Rex told Jail Josh to take the spot. Thirty minutes pass, and I ask Rex for my spot back, and he insists that Jail Josh is just fine right there. Well, Jail Josh didn't want to be in there, and I didn't want him mad at me because it was my fault he was there anyways, so I told Josh to tell Rex I wanted my spot in the hole back.
"I can't do that, Josh."
"Why not?"
"You just look so natural in the hole. Atleast, that what Kristena says!"
Oh-my-GOD! I turned SO RED right at that moment! How embarrassing. I NEVER said that he looked natural in the hole. My boss knew exactly the sub-text and Josh lost it. Between fits of laughter he called out "technical foul! Rex, you're not allowed to talk for ten minutes!". That was MORTIFYING!
Anyways, Sunday night, Winter dropped off Heather's cell phone that she left in her car. The only problem was that it was really Monday Morning at two a.m. that she dropped if off, so I had to stay up all night and wait.
Yesterday, after an exhausting weekend, I made it to school. In first period, I played my piece for Morehouse, and he said that although it looks simple, he thinks it's REALLY good for me! I'm so glad because I hate the Canon piece by now!
Third period was okay too. I was so bored, but that's alright, because I'm always bored in there! Then Brockwell had the audacity to hold us over FIVE FREAKIN' MINUTES, and I knew that if I tried to make it to Mr. Goss's class, I'd be completely tardy, so I ran for guidance and told them that I really needed to talk to someone.
An hour later I realized I really did need to talk to someone, and my regular guidance counselor wasn't there, so I talked to Mrs. Prior to avoid a tardy. Well, she listened to my mom problem, gave me some comforting words, and I do declare- I like her better than my own guidance counselor. I made it to 30 minutes of Health, and I wish I hadn't been late because we were doing map work and I couldn't finish it in the time alloted, but Matt gave me most of the answers.
English was just boring. We were reading Romeo and Juliet, and let me tell you, some people are not actors!
When I got home, I slept for, like, ever. I skipped rehearsal (again) and got yelled at by Stacey in an email last night over it. I'm sorry that I'm so tired and I HAVE to go to school rather than skip it!
Well, this morning I woke up late, which sucks. Mom was proud of me- I didn't miss yesterday, even though I had the busiest weekend ever. This weekend will be just as bad though. Anyways, I missed first period and part of second, but made it just in time for my big geometry test that I failed!
In theater, we actually got up and warmed up- for ten minutes. This is quite the improvement from the last time I told her she was a bad teacher! She got me though; she gave me only four lines for the next show we're doing. That nazi...
In journalism, I struggled to finish my make-up work, and couldn't exactly, so Mrs. Devore is excusing most of it. That's really nice of her! I love that woman :-D That was also the period I found out the worst thing EVER!!!!! :-( :-( :-( I can't write it here, but it's so sad!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! :'( Me and Liz were gonna cry because of it.
After school I had work. When they told me they were putting me in the hole, I told Josh that I wanted his hoodie. Oh gosh it smelled just like him- so good. Whatever he wears is right next to obsession on my 'great cologne' scale. Anyways, we were both not in the flirting mood, so we kept it down, just a bit. He did stick my money down his pants, and I almost went for it, until I thought better of the idea since it was right on front line where the customers could see us.
And praise team was cancelled. Boo. Other than that, I can't think of anything else to add, so here it ends.
