Now is the Time to Try Something New. (Fortune Cookie #2)
The Chinese fortunes are not very promising as of late.
I received some saddening news on Monday. I don't want to even write it down yet, because I'm unsure if it is true. I'll just wait until movie night to see how I feel. No more about this for now...
I've been having a great week so far.. Mara let me get a 1/2 day on Monday, so I got caught up on a few things and then went to the mall. Again I ran into Sarah L. I keep seeing her everywhere. Just as she was running up to me I was on my way to Kaufmann's and Matt Dixon called to invite me to La Isla to celebrate - he and Phyllis are getting those jobs for the U.S. Investigation Services. How ironic for him to ask that right as Sarah appears. So I agreed to meet them at 5:30 at el restaurante. Aldo was there as usual when I first walked in. "Que tal?" he said. I almost couldn't remember what those "dos palabras pequenas" meant, but luckily my brain shifted into gear and I didn't have to feel like an ass not knowing what que tal meant. When I sat down I noticed everyone paying, to me, closer attention than usual. I felt like a friggin fugitive of some sort. Then my phone rang and it was coming from Miguel's and Roderigo's cell phone. I knew Miguel wasn't there, because he mentioned that he'd be going to visit a friend in North Lima on Monday. But Roderigo was, I saw him in the kitchen. So anyway, they all kept looking at me differently and I haven't a clue as to why. Not in a bad way, but in an "I know something you don't know" kinda way. Who knows? Matt had a horrible experience, which was to be anticipated since he's a real live critic. He doesn't like much and will tell you if he is displeased. No one liked the waitress... even I was unhappy with the waitress - and I ALWAYS give credit to any old waitress. She's a 16-year-old girl who seemed dumber than a box of rocks. I prefer the Mexican guys or SARAH to be our servers when I go there. Not this Ryan Rice associate. She seems like a total flake. It took her 500 trips from the kitchen to the table before getting our drinks right. She didn't understand what stuff was or how large the portions were and she wasn't very friendly. Anyway, I realize that she's not Mexican and that's most likely why she's a flaw to the restaurant, but it's not Jesus's or Miguel's fault, they were just trying to give the poor girl a job. Wow, enough about her... after that Matt put another sticker on my car (this time "Kerry/Edwards") we went to Kmart and looked around. I bought crayons and a coloring book, I was feeling somewhat artistic. lOl Yeah, so I colored half of it already. Most of it while on the phone w/Brad and the other part while on the phone w/Jermaine. Every time I look at those images from now on, I'm going to think of the conversations going on while I was placing colors on those pages.
It's been really slow at work this week which must be why it's so nice. I am all caught up on everything, except finals. I need to get started on them, since I was supposed to have them completed by the end of September and I haven't even begun to do them!! I have 9 and a 1/2 months to do! I hate that crap. I think the only reason I hate doing them is because I am not used to doing them. The imputting of information, deeds and commitments are cool because I can type them in 2.3 seconds with my eyes closed and my hands tied around my back. (a little exaggeration) But the finals are a little harder I think... A touch more time consuming. Eh, I'll get 'er done, I'm sure. :/
For tomorrow I inadvertedly scheduled 2 seller appointments for 3:30 and 4:50. This is going to suck, because I have a massage appointment in Poland on Western Reserve Road (one of the busiest roads during rush hour in the Tri-State area right now) at 6 and I'm supposed to get there early to fill out paperwork! It's an estimated 20-25 minutes away from the office and I won't have time to do my end of the day reports. I'm just going to have to send them before the customers come at 4:50 and Fred will think something's up. He's very perceptive.. but he also likes me, so it's all sweet! :) Hopefully this hour of massage therapy will make me feel better about everything going on. I wish I'd never been informed ~ It's just so upsetting. :/
I'm certain that if I keep consuming candy, I'll develop Diabetes, therefore, I am determined to eat no candy from now until Halloween. At which point, I'll consume candy in moderation. This is an unimaginable task for a chocoholic, though I am trying to get more antioxidants. I don't want cancer either! Well, anyway, I'm putting myself to sleep writing about this b.s..
I didn't go with Alison tonight. We were supposed to go to Butler to hang out with some friends she's got down there. She hasn't called yet and it's ten o'clock, I don't think we're going. Instead I watched Jackass The Movie. Some parts were horrific like the Papercuts and the Yellow Snowcone. I couldn't believe they did that shit. Crazy sons a bitches! I almost threw up, myself. And almost peed my pants laughing when they lit fireworks in the parents' bedroom in the middle of the night. And when Tony Hawk dressed up as a fat dude and skated the half pipe! And the alligator in the kitchen was pretty cool too.. Anyway, first time I've seen it. I was supposed to go with Dad when it came to the theater, but he took my cousin Michael instead! Man, was I pissed off.
I talked to two people today that I don't normally talk to. Darin O'Donnell and Jakki Mathis. Darin actually saw me yesterday as he was riding up to the cinema from his house. I saw him when I was at the intersection on Buhl Farm at Highland and he called me as I was pulling into the driveway from his cell. It's been a while. I thought we weren't friends anymore, then he invited me to come up to the cinema with him and Josh. He called again today as I was on my way home from work and we chatted almost the entire trip. Hey, I get bored while driving for that 20 minutes. Then Jakki called later on and we talked for a while about her and Craig. She wanted advice, but I didn't really know what to say since I haven't even hung out with them for ages. And I haven't talked to her for months! It's refreshing to talk to people out of the blue, just when I'm starting to feel like no one even remembers my name. I love that.
I really wanted one of those coconut margaritas from TX Roadhouse! I've been craving it all day.. Maybe I shoulda called Ali? Hmmm. Some other day, I suppose.
K, I'm going to read Cosmo now and go to bed.
Times Cory has called today `````` (6 so far, 2 of which I actually answered.) lol Why's he doin this NOW???
