Look
how pathetic I've been with the updating for the month. I
posted like five times in all of July. That's horrible. I've
been out of control busy, and I can't tell you a thing I've
done.
Well, though the summer isn't over, I'm pretty sure I won't
have much time this month either to really reflect on how
it's been. It's been an absolutely wonderful summer. I spent
some serious quality time with my family and friends, and
I didn't waste a second. I had two jobs and made the money
I needed (with some help from the R-Dubs). My two jobs also
happened to be the most enjoyable jobs I've had in my life.
Sure, I sat around at one job surfing the web until my eyeballs
fell out of my head, and at the other job I endured severe
repetitive harassment - but my coworkers were the absolute
best. This is not to knock the restaurant staff I worked with.
Though the authority figures there made me want to kill myself,
the waiters and waitresses were wonderful. At Waterworks -
I got to hang out with some awesome MA women. These were some
tough chicks with the sweetest hearts. My bosses there were
more organized than any place I've ever worked in my whole
life. They were kind, generous, sympathetic, accommodating,
and supportive. Joe Kain, Jon, and Jes are really amazing
people to work for.
At Aviva - I worked with some of coolest cats I've ever worked
with. Here are some chill dudes in the corporate world who
make a dull day under fluorescent lights something to laugh
about. Katie and I went out with them last Thursday and had
such a fun time. Dan, James, Nate, Phil, Sam, and Jay - made
a temp job feel like it was important.
I forgot to tell you, on the second to last day I was working,
so Thursday, everyone was getting up as I was headed back
to my desk. I asked where everyone was going and they told
me they had a meeting. At this point, I had completely run
out of work to do, so I groaned about how bored I would be
while they were all at the meeting. So, as they're walking
away, Phil says, "Why don't you just come to the meeting?"
"Why? What am I going to learn, I'm leaving tomorrow?"
"It'll be funny, just come and sit with us."
"Oookkaayy..." and I head off to the meeting to
sit around and pretend like I know what everyone's talking
about. I see this other temp, Jamie, and I'm like, "Jamie,
come to the meeting with me, it'll be funny." She agrees
and we walk to the other side of the cubicle, and says, "Well,
we're here."
So, I'm standing there waiting for someone to start talking,
but everyone is just looking at me, and someone finally points
over to the counter and there is all this food set up. Chips,
salsa, soda, and then a cake in the middle. I walk over to
the cake and it says on it, "Good luck in LA." I
couldn't believe it. They threw an office going away party
for me!! I was SO happy and excited. I thanked them all profusely
and giddily and said, "So, does this mean that I get
to cut the cake and pass it out while everyone stands around
awkwardly making idle conversation?" I got to be the
heart of the Office Space scene. So fun. They all signed this
card and everything. What a nice day it turned out to be.
Yes, it was a beautiful summer after all.
Right now though, I'm feeling a bit sick. I'm not sure what's
wrong with me, but something is. I feel a little dizzy, and
I'm getting tired easily, which is strange. You know when
you can feel that something is wrong with your body but you
just can't locate the source? That's me right now. I'm hoping
I'm just tired and it'll be gone when I wake up.
I'm headed to Hawaii for a few days for some R-Dubs cash.
From there, I'll be in Palm Springs for the Miss Teen USA
Pageant. OOOHHH will there be SO much to talk about when I
get back. The pageant alone is just dripping with writing
material. Also, Jessica Simpson will be there and you better
believe that I've had TWO dreams that she started screaming
at me about what I wrote about her on my site. I have no balls.
First of all, why would she be reading my site? Secondly,
what do I think is going to happen? She and I are going to
get in a cat-fight because I said I thought her doing that
show sucked? I don't know, but if for any reason I meet her,
I'm pretty sure I won't stand by my anger. How weird, huh?
I'll have to talk about that when I get back. I mean, I don't
hate her in the flesh, that makes her a person. Right now,
she's just a concept to me, and I can hate her safely from
here. You all know what I mean. Half of you reading this hate
me without even meeting me.
Okay, I need to pack.
Also, I hate all my clothes AND I cut off all my hair even
shorter and I'm not totally happy with it. |
