OMG the last week was hell. I had to be away for several days for work.....which is bad enough!!!
I had a conflict in a Damon's restaurant while we were away. Our meals took an hour to come out and we were asking about them. The waiter explained what happened and that was cool. There was a mistake in tehe kitchen. Shit happens. I've worked in restaurants. BUT, then the woman who was going to get the manager for us comes back with a receipt with all of our "times" on them. And we had our drink order go in at 7:27 and our meals came out at 7:47.....or something like that. then Lori looks at the slip and asks me....what time is it now? It was 8:15. The first time was when our meals came out originally. Incorrect. I freaked! I Asked the woman if her intent was to come argue with us. And she was very difficult and began backpedalling to get out of it. I decided i wanted a to go container as i couldn't eat there. She was being such a bitch! I guess that is what happens when someone decides they are RIGHT and then they really aren't! I again asked for the manager and she looked at me and said that she was the owner. Flip. I snapped. I expect to be treated BETTER by an owner. Mom flipped and started asking her why she was getting a manger in the first place when she could deal with us. I think she decided in her head that we were being difficult and came to put us in our places. I tried not to become hysterical...and managed to ask as she stomped off whether it was a franchise or not. it is. Bitch. i will be writing a well crafted letter to corperate. And everything was fine after our server explained things! Stupid, stupid woman. She thought we were trying to get a free meal when we weren't paying for it anyways. We were there on business. For Hallmark doing a job in Wal-Mart. Not exactly 2 small companies....especially when i start running my mouth. I think their company will be displeased.
Then we went to the hotal. Lori and i were hanging in my room talking when she jums off the bad. She picks a bug off it. Fuck. I catch it and go down to the lobby. The seem not too concerned. We flip the bed. Bedbugs. Fuck. I freak again. But i'm more noticibly hysterical this time. Romms were full. EVERYWHERE. They moved me to a moldy room that had water damage. Sigh. They do take one night off....like the room was fine one night and not the next. And i wasn't even paying for the room, so my complete lack of sleep is uncompensated. Ugh.
The next day i am completely empty. But, i decide to do my books on the way home. And i lock the keys in my car. #3. UGLY. And it took AAA 1 3/4 hours to come unlock my car. Whatthe fuck. It's not like it was bad weather. Sigh.
I put in 65 hours and this week will be pretty bad. Need a vacation. I should go to Maine.
And sleep.

Having internet issues. Ugh. My connection is really spotty and i don't have the patience to do anything important. All the stores i worked in today were fucking busy! Since when is Columbus Day the beginning of the Christmas season?!?
Went to New York. Briefly. I was basically only there on Saturday. but, i got to see Sarah and went to the World of Disney. And all my other shopping spots! If i get an annual pass for Walt Disney World i would get a discount at World of Disney. Hmmm....i spend TOO much money there, so it seems it would be worth it! I guess it's time to crunch numbers. And Lisa can get hr Cast Member price for me. Hmmmm.....
My TV seems to be coming in crappy too. Must be the cable company and not my computer. Woohoo! I guess.

I wonder how Wal-Mart could possibly think i can "work in" 50 large Betty Crocker cook books easily?
Oh well.
I think i am going to buy an annual pass for Walt Disney World. I figure it is still less than i would spend if i were addicted to crack!?! Haha!

Finally a reasonable week. I only worked 30 hours and it was nice to have time to think. And do dishes. And laundry. I even got to do some shopping for junk i don't need! The next few weeks will be the last push of our season....so i might as well be thankful for the big paychecks!
I'm feeling pretty calm and focused. Like i know what i need to do. And what i want to do! That's always important. I want to have a yard sale! Before it's too late!!! I have soooo much stuff, yet i keep dragging more home. Like my grandmother. If she only knew that i am as bad as she was!
What game should i play next. Sigh. Nothing is jumping out at me. Maybe i need a big project. Like my yard sale. Haha!
I took a picture of my bed. I realized i hadn't felt this way in a long time. Somebody wrote no home while we were sorting greeting cards to be discarded. I was thoroughly amused!

I feel agitated when i don't getthings aaccomplished. But, shouldn't i get a day to totally fuck around. Yet, i am cranky. Does this make me a workaholic? I hope not. Hopefully i am just crazy.
I did get a used copy of Persona 3 today. And found a coupon! Woohoo! PLus i bought a cool white leather belt. Snazzy.
I can't figure out what to do tomorrow.....i need to go shopping for junk.

I am going to the gym again....woohoo! I like going to the gym. It makes me feel better about myself..like at least i am trying to do something. Besides work. And sleep. But i think i feel run down right now because i just had an ocular migraine. At least i don't usually get the pain.
And life has calmed a bit. Yay! All i want to do is save money to go on vacation. But, whatever it takes to get thru the day.
I need to call me dad. I haven't been to Maine and i haven't talked to anyone....i'm so horrible! I just get so fucking busy! I really need to get up there and visit.

In one week from now i will be in Florida. I really need some time off. But, it won't last long!!! One long weekend and then a couple more crazy weeks! It's good to be caught up though. And be able to buy junk i don't really need. Like more yellow things. Haha!
Tomorrow will be a not so long work day and a trip to the antique shop.....pick up my check =)
I need to start watching Heroes this weekend. Very exciting life i lead!
I have this really cool set of sewing encyclopedias from the early 70's. They all have a different cloth pattern for the cover. I think i have to keep them....the belong in my living roon. Sigh. I really want to get rid of stuff, but i am such a packrat!!!

Hot. Hot. Hot....but at least it won't last long!!! This week wasn't so bad. i was busy, but not so busy as to want to tear all my hair out! And now i have a couple days to catch up and clean. Not too much going on. Matt is back at Lori's and her parents are gone. Jay is moving to Boston. I am shopping. Hahaha!

I worked at the front desk at the Antique Shop today. It was more work....but made the day pass much faster. ad a good check witing for me too, so it was a pretty good day. I am exhausted. Not sure why. At least i have an easy week ahead of me. Lori just found out her parents will be here Tuesday. At least she got some notice. Ha. So, Mattwill be at my place while they are at Lori's. We will need to have cocktails.
Just watched Cold Case and it broke thru the blackened shell around my heart. Very sad. Though it usually is.
Sleep....

Ooooo....i just popped my neck back into place and i can move it again! Yay! Now i can go to the gym again.....
Plus, the big jobs are pretty much over. Which means i will have a little time that i'm not completely crazy. And a little time alone. Home. Yay 2!
I made a deposit at the ATM last night and the receipt came flying out of it. I scrambled after it and then went to the grocery store. When i went to pay....i didn't have my card. Fuck. I PROBABLY left it in the machine. But, no real way to now for sure. So, i had to cancel the card to cover my ass. Just in case. Ugh. So, i have 40 cents and no access to money. I think i can go inside and cash a check to myself. But that is so barbaric! And i haven't the time to figure it out. Maybe tomorrow. I am going to try and take a half day....as we have to work at the shop on Sunday. Ugh. Hopefully i actually sold some shit this week!
I need to find time to get to Maine. i fear it may not be until September. I hate being a grown up. But, i can buy more toys =)

Ugh. What a shitty week. I can't work with these people anymore. I need to put the word out so i can get more work alone. I just need to make it thru the next week or so and the big projects will be over.
I'm just so tired. Exhausted. Physically and mentally. I need to get away. Alone.
So, hopefully i will have more time to do the things i like.......like checking my fucking email! Haha!
Big Brother is exciting thsi season. I'm just a sicko that likes to watch people talking about nothing. And if i miss any episodes i can watch online. Woohoo!

Wow! I have never gone so long without playing in my journal! I was REALLY busy....then i decided not to go online until i was done with The Deathly Hallows. I will never be able to talk about it.....as someone will always be reading it and i could never ruin a Harry potter book for anyone. Neurotic. Yes. But, still cool =)
My phone is on life support. The screen now glows blue. So, i can only call out speed dial numbers. Crazy. BUT....the contract is up Tursday. Woohoo! I didn't thing anybody made it thru a contract. We'll see what kind of deal i can get....
I think we are going to blow off Macungie. We are making less and less each year. Plus, we can sell all the same stuff at the antique shop. And it is less work. And air conditioned. Outdoor toy shows SUCK. I really need the days to clean. And sleep.
Had a good weekend. Exhausting. And humid. The city is always humid in late July. But, i forgot how much! Me....stupid....bought a bunch of pins for a guy i met on the net. He was going to paypal money...but hasn't. And i bought the pins first.....ugh. At least i know better than to send shit without the money. It could always work out for the better....i now have pins to trade and don't have to feel guilty about buying them. Just naive. Better than guilt. Haha!
Need to get to Maine. I just have so little time with all these jobs and required work days and big projects =( That's life as a grown up. I guess. At least until i become a gypsy!

This week has been a real ballbreaker! Just one more day....but it's a long one. At least at the end of it i have Harry Potter to roll out and deal with =)
I was informed today that Hallmark wants us to go into our stores on Tuesday and Friday starting in August. I understand that they have gotten more and mor eproduct to deal with in American Greetings stores.....but......i think they are asking a lot for a job that is only giving people 4 hours a week for each store. Give up all you Fridays. Unflexible? The whole point of having the job is to have it be flexible around my life. So, i will be giving up thiose stores!!!
Oh well.
Harry Potter......tomorrow.....

Ack. What a busy week! I didn't get to the gym enough and i've been eating like SHIT. Sigh. The next couple weeks are going to be just as bad. Grrr....
Went to see Harry Potter. Had to. Not even a question =)
It's the actual getting myself to the theater that's the problem. I just hate the whole movie theater thing. It's a crazy social anxiety thing.
Matt is leaving Friday night on his mission to flee Florida. So, he should be here Sunday. Hopefully he won't push it too much. It would be sad irony if he crashed now that he is finally fleeing. I was telling him about how i was feeling very anti-social. How the people i have talked to seem to feel it is necessary to make me fel bad about my craziness. They want me to date. To be all warm and fuzzy and affectionate. To want people to touch me. Because there is obviously something wrong with me. Or maybe it is just fun to use my neuroses to try and make me feel bad about myself. Or maybe make themselves feel better.
The only thing he could say was...."But, that's who you are."
That was pretty cool. Sometimes things snap back into perspective. And not everyone is on the same page. The page of making me miserable.
But, above and beyond anything, if the way i am doesn't hurt anyone.....is it any of their business. I mean, it's not as if these people are available for positive work on my problems. At least i am working on my problems.
So, i keep stomping forward. And i'm ok.

Well....i spent another weekend shopping. Shopping for crap to resell is great when i am working enough for it to not be a necessity. Like the desperate hunt for things to hawn in order to pay rent. That sucks.
I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I forgot how rough that book was. So, i sat in front of the TV and cried at the end....
Sigh. I'll have to get Jay to go see the Order of the Phoenix. Lori doesn't like fantasy. Hmph. But, she'll see Transformers. Hmph.
I am pacink up things to brig to the Post Office and using old Hallmark wrapping paper as padding instead of newspaper. I feel a little evil doing it. Just opening packs and smashing it up for padding. Weird world i live in.
I love Kirstie Alley. I don't know why......

Hmmmm.....i shopped a lot this weekend. Spent waaaay too much money. But, i found a few treasures and should be able to get my money back right away. These are the coolest....
Worked a lot the last 2 days. Maybe i should take tomorrow off. But, it might be better to try and take Friday off. I haven't had a Friday in AGES.

I just went to see Ratatouille......it was great! I'm a big sucker for PIXAR stuff in general, so it's no surprise. I liked it better than Cars....which could get me killed in these parts. Hahaha!
It was god to do something for fn. And only fun. i don't let myself stop very often. But, i like working and a lot of it is fun...sooooo......

Running around PA trying to clean up all these stores that have no book reps. Ugh. But, i need the hours....for shopping. Ha!
Ratatouille starts this weekend! Jay said he would go see it with me...so that should be fun.....i haven't seen him in quite a while. I've been feeling very disconnected from everyone lately but i haven't been particularly upset about. That's life.And lori has been saying that she need to do (blank) for herself and not be so wrapped up in other people's (blank).....so i'm just laying low......
KFC commercial. Yummmmmm......i've been not eating that shit so i can try and lose weight. Sigh. I went to the gym today and it was really awful because of the humidity today. I don't do particularly well in the heat, and the humid air was misery. But, i stuck it out.
That boy Kameron on So You Think You Can Dance is fucking hot.

I'm really surprised that the single for Bela Lugosi's Dead is on iTunes. Hmmmm....i don't recall having ever heard this at the gothis nights in Portland. Weird. I remember Gary and i having a bitch of a time finding it on vinyl. Back then. Pre-CD. Hahaha! I still don't have a physical copy of it. Weird. It doesn't matter so much. Gary was cool. But, we all changed.
