Sneaky Sneaky

I'm posting this at the request of Aaron. If you read my previous blog, there was a place where I talked about driving past Aaron on the road, and having him follow me home. Well, after we met up at the top of the road, I was going to go behind him, but he flagged me forward. I went in front of him, and got to the roundabout. I thought it would be funny if I got behind him by going around the roundabout. He turned where he was supposed to, but I had kept going around, so I was behind him now. I was driving behind him, waving my hands in the air saying I was "sneaky sneaky" in a funny voice. I realized how stupid I looked, especially because he couldn't even see me from up there. I told him about it later, so he teases me ALL the time.

Anyways, speaking of sneaky sneaky. Today at work was crazy. I think I believe people are better than they are. The girl at work I have been training this whole time, I really liked her. Well, today, while she was bussing tables, i brought one of the checks up to the server. He asked where the $5 was that was on the table. I said I didn't know because I didn't bus the table. I went and asked the girl I was training. She said she didn't see one. I was like, okay. So I told him. Well, I mentioned to her later to be REALLY careful with the tips on the tables because the servers KNOW when they have one, and if it gets lost or dropped on the floor or something, they may think she had stolen it, so to make sure they are somewhere safe and secure, and maybe go as far to tell them they have a tip on the table. She said okay. The manager and another server decided to try to catch her. They left $5 on a table that she needed to bus. She went to go bus the table, and they went to check it afterwards, and it was gone. After we finished all our sidework, (and after my manager had called the owner) he called her into the office and talked to her. She came out and I told her I'd see her later. She said that I wouldn't because they said she took $5 that she didn't. I realized after she left that serveral of the servers had been complaning of poor tips recently, but I just figured it was an off day for them. It happens. Anyways, so now they are going to have to find another hostess, which means longer as a hostess for me. Either way, I have my interview tomorrow. I hope it goes well. I don't want to work this Saturday, but if I have to I will. After work, I watched "Count of Monte Cristo" with Aaron, and then came home to go to bed, because I have to get up early tomorrow morning.

I'm Soo Glad Aaron is Back

Okay, so I know its been a while. Last time I posted was Sunday a week ago. Well, lets tell you about that week.

Monday: I spent all day trying to call into work so I could pick up Aaron at the airport, besides running to town once for something (I can't remember what). At first I was going to pick him up and go to work (cause they wouldn't let me call in). Then, his flight was delayed. I called work and told them that he wouldn't be in until like 7:20, and they told me to come into work, then pick him up and go back to work. Thats ridiculous, but they were going to make me anyways. I was a total BITCH at work cause they were making me so mad. Eventually, they let me go to pick him up and not make me come back, ONLY cause the expo said she would hostess for me. It was really dumb. I picked up Aaron and was so excited to see him. We couldn't fit his baggage (snowmaching stuff) into my car, so Bryce had to come and meet us there and get it. We went to his house, then to dinner. He bought me a hooded sweatshirt that says Wisconsin. I LOVE it. :D We spent the whole evening together.

Tuesday: We woke up really early, like 8 or so. We went to breakfast, back to the house, and then I took him to class. While he was in class, I went to Alaska USA and got an application for there. I went to the Newsminer and they had the perfect job for me. THe thing is that I don't want to apply/get the job, then move to anchorage at the end of the summer. I ended up not appllying for it. I did visit with Nava and Natasia. After I picked him up from class, I showed him what i had done. :D He was happy. I went to work at 5, and was fine with having to work. After work, he came and met me after class. We spent some more time together.

Wednesday: My day off. YAY! We got up early again and he had to work. I took him to his house, and while he worked I went and got another application from AK USA and filled it out and turned it in. I went to my dads for dinner while he went to class, and after that I went to visit my friends Margaret and Karrina. I couldn't find their apartment, so as I was driving back to my house, I saw Aaron driving up to UAF (he was going to waste time visiting with Kyle). I drove around the roundabout waiting for him, but he was waiting at the top. I met him up there, and we drove back to my house. He had already finished his Final for his Auto class.

Thursday: He had a exam for sociology, so while he did that I took a nap. He was done pretty quick. I had to work at 5. I got to train this new girl. She's pretty cool. It was fun. I accidentally fell asleep at Aaron's house. I felt really bad because it really bothers his roommate. I was going to wait until Aaron fell asleep, and then leave, but I just remember waking up the next morning.

Friday: My other day off. YAY again! I'm beginning to hate my job. :P I called AKUSA and set up an interview for Tuesday. I can't wait. Aaron worked for a while, and got off just in time for us to go to a movie with a friend and her boyfriend. This friend of mine is younger, and used to be a good girl, and now she's making out with her boyfriend and laying in his lap. She just met him too. I'm worried about her. I need to talk to her. Aaron and I went to his house and watched a movie with his roommate in their NEW entertaingment room. Its pretty cool. :D

Saturday: I worked the silly Noon-8 shift again. I actually got off at 8:45 (and I took a break) so I got exactly 8 hours. THat was weird. Aaron met me there and we ate dinner. After that, we called Travis and Karrina to hang out with us. Karrina didn't come, but Travis, Aaron and I went to this bonfire to hang out. It was funny cause we went and just talked the whole time. We left and drove around, then came back to my house. My roommate didn't come home all night (not nina, cause that would not be unusual) which is weird.

Sunday: I went Skiing! It was a blast. Spent the whole day skiing. I didn't go to work either. :P I am getting mad at them anyways. I have to go today though and apologize for not being there. I found out last week that I am not being trained again, so I have another week of Hostessesing. Anyways, it was tons of fun skiing. I only fell a few times.

Monday (today): So far I spent the whole morning just playing aroudn with Aaron. We were joking around about everything and just laughing all morning. It was really fun. We don't do that all too often, so its fun when we do. We only left to eat lunch. I'm going to work today at 5. Its going to suck, i'm sure of it. I can't WAIT until tomorrow when my interview is. I have to work tomororw night too. Anyways, thats it. I need to fix my hair in the next 40 minutes. I'll try to update more regularly, I just haven't been cause Aaron's been back and I've been wanting to spend alot of time with him cause I miss him. :D

Of course! They couldn't POSSIBALLY keep their word

Okay, so lets see. I felt better Sunday morning. Funny thing is, even though I had this HORRIBLE day at work, the girl that was being a bitch to me, called for a ride to work that morning. Of course, I gave her one. It was silly. Anyways, I got to work, and it was REALLY slow all day besides a church/lunch rush and a late afternoon rush. I was just me, so good thing it wasn't busy. The schedule wasn't up last night, so when betsy came in, she talked to me. She said that she was GOING to train me for serving this week, but then we don't have Taylor working anymore, so she has to find another hostess and train her before she can switch me. I asked her how long. At first, she didn't want to tell me. When I asked her if it would be more than about a week or two, she said she would be shocked if it was. No promises, of course.

After work I brought Ruhi an application for Boston's. She is going to apply. I'm going to give her Application to Troy tomorrow telling him to hire her. He will probably call her for an interview, and then hire her, hopefully. The sooner they hire other hostess, the sooner I am server. Also, it would be fun for Ruhi to work there. Anyways, ben and I went to do laundry. I realized that I had planned on not working monday night, and now I do because i'm not training for server. Kym can't work for me and Daniella can't work for me cause she has to work at her other job. I hope I can find someone cause I REALLY don't want to work. Aaron gets back, and then I was going to go to the Naw Ruz party, utnil he was done with class, then spend time with him. I really missed him!

So, my clothes are all clean. :D yay! I need to clean my room, clean my car, and pick aaron up at the airport at 4, looking all cute and stuff. I'm going to look at jobs that I would leave boston's for, like Office Jobs, etc. If I find one I want, I will apply, and if I get it, i'll quit Boston's, cause they keep putting me off. I'm not going to apply for places that I wouldn't like as much as boston's, like some other restaurant, because in theory, I will be servning in a couple weeks. If, by the first week in April I'm not training or on the schedule to train, (which gives them about 2 weeks) I will be looking for a different job, even if I won't like it as much as Boston's. I really need to get out of the Hole.

Good note. I got like 36 Hours, and 2.25 hours of it is overtime. So my check will be awesome, which is this friday. I can pay my rent for April, Insurance for March and maybe even start to catch up on my phone bill. That would be nice. :D I'm current on my rent right now, and Credit Card, and electric and insurance (thanks to Daddy). I want to keep current and catch up on everything else. Anyways, I guess I'll let everyone going. Only other good news (besides Aaron coming back, of course) is that its REALLY warm. Its like only getting to 10 ABOVE at night, so I don't need to plug in my car. :D I'm going to unplug it right now. :D

Want to Know how I'm doing? $10 Bag of M&M's!

Okay, so I was supposed to go do my laundry this morning. I didn't get enough sleep, so when I woke up, I was too tired to get up and go, and didn't have enough time, so I woke up and went to work at noon. I got there and it was just me and the expo. It was okay, pretty busy, but okay. Then I took a break to eat with the expo. It was nice to take a break. After break, I told the other two I would do wahtever they want. I figured that was nice of me cause I had the choice of whatever I wanted cause Betsy said to do whichever I wanted cause I was there already. Of course, I was QB. People were silly, and ALL the servers were mad at me except like one or two. Anyways, so I was supposed to get off at 8, although I knew that wouldn't happen. I DID expect to get off before the people who got there 5 hours later then me. Nope. One got off before me, and was being a total bitch about it, and the other got off right after me (although she wouldn't have minded me getting off early). The girl who was a bitch was the same one from the other day complaining about getting off late the other day, even though she only worked a little more than 8 hours, but didn't think I should complain after 11 hours. Anyways, I went outside, I couldn't WAIT to go home. I go outside and my car is dead because I helped someone jump it earlier. I seriously cried. After Daniella helped jumped my car I went to Safeway and bought $10 worth of M&M's. I'm kinda upset I spent $10 of my limited income, but I was so tired. To top it off, the schedule isn't up yet, so I won't know if I'm getting trained this week or not. Anyways, I work tomorrow morning at 11, so I need to get to bed. Sorry there aren't paragraphs, but i'm to tired/pissed/sad to do it. I really wish Aaron were here to give me a big hug. :D

St. Patty's Day!

So, I guess I should start with Wednesday. My day off. YAY! I had to get up early to get my eyebrows waxed. They look pretty good. I went home and took a nap cause I hadn't gotten much sleep. I got all dressed up and went to dinner with Karrina and Margaret. I think I looked cute. I curled my hair and wore a skirt and heels. We went to the Roundup SteakHouse. I had some REALLY good (and good priced) prime rib. We went to Wolf's Run for Dessert and then to WalMart for shopping. It was TONS of fun. We are going to try to do it again sometime. I came home and watched a little TV and read some.

Thursday I didn't go to sleep until 7am, and had to wake up at 8am. I had an employee meeting. It was really kinda pointless because it was everything people already knew, but we had to have a meeting about it. I am now in charge of the newsletter though (I volunteered). I came home and was SO exhausted. Jackie got home Wednesday MORNING at like 1am, so I talked to her a little bit before she went to work on thursday. After my nap, I went to dinner at my dad's house, then to Ben and Ruhi's house, because I promised Ben I'd spend time with him. It was fun, we went to Barnes and Noble and just made jokes about books and stuff. After we got back I wanted to play Monopoly, so we played.

We started at about midnight, but we didn't get done until 6am. I won. April and Ruhi quit part way through, but ben played till the bitter end. I have figured out that I'm worth somewhere close to $20,000. I got in my car to start it, and because it was -20 and I hadn't plugged it in, so it didn't WANT to start, but it did. I let it warm up for a while, but when I got in it, the fan wasn't on. I realized down the road that the stereo wasn't on either. Further down the road I realized my blinkers weren't working. It was crazy. By the time I got home, I was FREEZING cause my heater wasn't working. When I turned the car off, I thought the fan/stereo turned on for a second, but I wasn't sure.

Friday I slept all day, besides when Aaron called. I was supposed to do laundry. I got up right before work, with enough time to shower, but not do ANYTHING with my hair. I picked up my Tips (over $200) and worked. It was fun because it was St. Patricks day. I got to wish Everyone "Happy St. Patty's Day." I also took pictures of how people showed the holiday spirit while still wearing their uniforms. I'm going to use it for the newsletter. It was fun, and after work I hung out while my car warmed up and talked to the other Hostess. Either way, it was fun. I got home and figured that my roommate and her friends would all be out until REALLY late. It turns out that they got home at like 12:45 cause they were already really drunk. I need to go to bed because I NEED to do laundry tomorrow, and I have to work at 12:00 instead of 4:00.

Another Busy Weeknight.

So, I'm not really sure why I'm blogging. Nothing interesting has happened since I blogged last. I didn't end up falling asleep until 6:30 or so. Aaron called me at like 6, and we talked for a while. It was nice to hear from him. I love hearing from him. Anyways, I watched the rest of season 2 of Roswell, and apparently Blockbuster in Fairbanks doesn't carry it, so I am going to go to them when I return my movies and fill out the thing asking them to get it. I guess I'll have to wait until then to finish it. I went to work and made about 6 or 7 dollars in tips. I traded Thursday and Friday with Halley. I had Friday off, but I told Halley that I'd work Friday for her, and she's going to work Thursday for me. THe nice thing about working friday is I get tipped out more later, because Friday is busier, plus I work later cause its so busy. Friday's mean way more money. I also traded Sunday night for Sunday Day. That probalby means Less money, just cause I leave at the same time, no matter how busy, but I didn't care, either way. Anyways, work got REALLY busy, but then got slow. Anyways, I went to ETZ video to see if they had Roswell Season 3, but they didn't either. So, yeah, thats all.

I miss Aaron

So, that wasn't all.

I miss Aaron!!!

The price of Idiocy.... $25, Knowing you are an Idiot? Priceless!

So, lets see. Sunday, I took a friend to work, then came back home. My dad and I went to see a movie. Ultra-Violet. It was REALLY REALLY stupid. The only good thing was her outfits, cause they could change color whenever she wanted. Anyways, after that I came back home and watched Roswell until work. Work was fun. I got to take a table, it was fun, except they only tipped me $10 on a $136 ticket. It was okay though because I didn't expect to make any money that day. Later in the evening, I had a togo order of about $35 and he gave me a $10 tip. It was cool. :D I went to bed at a decent hour on Sunday night. (yay for me!)

Monday (today) I slept in, until I about 3. I took a shower and went to work. I went to bed early, but I think I needed that chance to sleep in. Work was kinda boring, besides the idiot title. I locked my keys in my car. Aaron has a spare, but he's in Wisconsin. I had to pay $25 to get a taxi to unlock my car. I'm really mad at myself. Anyways, I blame Aaron, since he's not here. Just kidding. So, I work tomorrow and Wednesday night there is this "girls night" thing me and a few girls are doing. We are dressing up nice and going out to eat. It should be fun, especially since I haven't seen most of them in a while. Anyways, I think thats all.

Lots of Overtime and hours. :D

So, I got to sleep in, until about 2:30, when Aaron called. I was really happy to talk to him. I miss him already, which I know is silly. I wish he was here. Last night my roommate had gone to a party, and came back with this guy who gave her a ride home (because her ride had been drinking). She invited him inside, and I found out she didn't really know him. Not only that, but it turned out later that he was married, but getting a divorce, but still living with his wife (as a roommate). It kinda bothered me that she brought some random guy home just because for all she knows, he could be some psycho guy. He seemed nice, but for some reason, it just bothered me. Aaron would have been here if he was in town, and he would have been able to explain to her how crazy she is. I tried to tell her it was a bad idea, and she was just kinda like "yeah, I know, but we had this great talk, etc. etc."

Anyways, after I talked to Aaron, I went to the video store and went to work. I worked from 4 to 1. Thats 9 hours. I had him adjust my time so they didn't take out a break. They did that my last check and I was really mad about it. I got my schedule for next week and I have Friday off again. They have perfect timing. My boyfriend goes out of town, and I have Friday off. Oh well, I'm sure i'll find something to do. LOL! Anyways, I should go cause a friend from work needed a jump, so I went to jump it, and she couldn't get her hood open. I'm going to go take her to work tomorrow.

Correction

I think I might have hurt some peoples feelings in my posts about family. I didn't mean to do that. I meant it more as a self reflection thing, something I had been thinking about. A lot of people said that they feel like they were not included and should have been. I think, for some, although they may "consider me like family" I'm still not. And thats okay, because they are right. But when they list their family, alot of times I'm not in that list, although they might be in mine. I think its just a different mindset for me. I think I was just having a selfish feeling left out moment. I'm over it now. Some people I didn't list because the relationship might be a bit rocky, and although they are family, it just doesn't feel the same way as it does with the family that Im used to. I do consider people family who live far away, and even though we may not spend time together, that doesn't mean we are any LESS family, but at the time that I wrote that I was feeling left out, like maybe they don't think about me even though I'm not there, although I think about them. I don't want anyone to see this as directed at them. Its kindof a self reflection, as I said. What I said was kinda a feeling from a lot of people. I think I was just over-reacting about alot of it. Soemtimes I feel lonely and just it magnifies all the little things into a big deal.

Had a Fun Night. :D I miss Aaron.

Lets see. Thursday I was going to get up and workout, but I didn't. I didn't get up until 1. I took a shower, got all "purty-ed" up, for no reason, got dressed, only to go to the Chowder House with Aaron, and then work. I finally got all my mail sent out though. :D Yay for me. I've been meaning to do that, but I lost all the stamps. I found them (although I may have lost them again, cause now I don't remember where they are) and sent everything in the mail I've been meaning to send in the past months. (yeah, mail takes me a while).

Anyways, work thursday was weird. It was pretty average/slow. It picked up a little bit, for like an hour, but not crazy busy, but then it was slow until we cut down to three servers, then we were a little busy again, then slow until they cut down to one server, then it was BUSY. He got about 6 tables all at once. I felt bad for him. His first table was a 20 top of hockey players. I hung out for a while to help him out, and eventually left. I went to Aaron's house for a short while, then back to mine. We watched G.I. Jane (an interesting movie).

I went to bed slightly late, but had to get up at 10:00. I hung out at Aaron's house while him and his roommate thawed the pipes. I watched four episodes of roswell today. Sad, I know. Him and I went into town to get some last minute things done before he left to wisconsin for 10 days (poopie on him)! We hung out at his house until it was about time to go get something to eat. After MUCH deliberation we decided on Chili's. It wasn't that good, but it was food, and Aaron was nice and LET me get something more than just an appetizer (cause their food is pretty expensive). LOL! Anyways, I took him to the airport where I almost got hit by a car (it was pretty scary and my legs were really shaky for a while).

After he went to his gate, I went to Rachel's house picked her up, we went BACK to chili's, but they were WAY to busy, so we went to Jalapenos so she could eat. I just had chips and salsa, and beans and rice. We went to see "Failure to Launch." Good movie. Funny. WHen I was going to Blockbuster to see if they were still open so I could get the next Volume of Roswell there was this crazy chick on the road. I was at the corner by Denny's, turning left to head towards Davis road. I was in the left side of the right lane (because there is only two lanes) and I had my turn indicator on. She tried to go AROUND me on the left to turn left. I honked at her, and drove around. It made me a little mad, but I figured she made a mistake. Nope. She turned after I did and started driving really fast up to me and riding my behind. She was swerving and such. Rachel and I buckled, and I just waited for her to hit me. I think I've been spending too much time with Aaron. She would have hit me, we would have Sued her, and my bills would have been paid. Oh well, she went the other way down davis, so no money for me. :(

So, now i'm back at home, and I miss Aaron, even though I had a blast with Rachel. I hope he calls tomorrow morning. :D I'm going skiing with my dad Sunday morning, and mostly have the rest of the weekend to myself, unless someone who reads this gets bored and wants to hang out. (well, i'm free besides work saturday/sunday night). Love to all my fans (RACHEL, Erynn, April, yeah thats all of them.)

Feeling a little... blah. I guess.

So, I was good today, for the most part. After I blogged and played on my computer for a while, I got to cleaning my room. YAY FOR ME! I called the people about my W-2 Tax forms. One I just needed to print (which I did later this evening), one they are going to re-mail, the other I have to send them a self addressed stamped envelope so they can send it. Hopefully, all of this will be in before 4/15. :D I got a big chunk of my room done. I have my desk still, and a few boxes that i need to bring over to my dads to store. I called Aaron to see if he was done working, and he was. We were GOING to go to the gym, we got all the way there, and decdided we were both too tired to go jogging (I had missed breakfast and I am fasting and hadn't gotten much sleep). We went back to his house, and we fell asleep for a little while, on accident. I woke up to go to my dad's house for dinner. I was starving and ate up ALL his food. Then, I went back home and cleaned more. Aaron got out of class, and we went to his house so he could fix his snowmaching. He rented a disc of Roswell to occupy me. We left there and came back to my house a little bit ago. I wanted to go to bed early, but he had accidentally taken his roommates keys, so we had to go back. Its okay though, because I don't have anything pressing tomorrow. As long as I get up before 10 I think I'll be okay.

Anyways, I was thinking today. Probably cause I spent time alone and I always end up thinking when that happens. I hope my mom is reading this cause she'll have a little victory dance about being right all these years. I told her the divorce never really affected me at all. I think that it did, although it was not the devestating way she seemed to think. I was thikning today about how I have a habit of attaching to families and considering them family, although they are not. When they point out, or I realize that I am NOT really part of their family, and that they don't see me that way, it hurts alot. I was discussing it with Aaron and trying to explain why i felt that way. That lead to a bit of self-realization. I realized that many of the families I tried to attach myself to were "stable" families. There was a Mom and a Dad. Even though they may not have been my friends real parent, or the persons first husband/wife, they were still a couple with kids. I think that I have this need to belong to some kind of family. For me, the only family I have currently that I'm close to, that I know sees me as just as much family as I see them, and just as close, is my dad. Maybe thats not enough for me. I've been listening to these country songs and although people say they are all "crying in your beer" songs, alot of them revolve around a happy family (a man singing about his wife and kids). They have family dinners with EVERYONE there, and theres just this closeness. I want that. I will just have to wait until I get married and have kids to have that for myself, but until then I think I keep looking for a substitute, and I'm definatly not successful with that so far. Oh well, this was all just self-reflection. :D

Productive Day Ahead.... I hope!

So, monday I'm pretty sure I slept until right before work, bounded out of bed, and off to work I went. Monady night at work was S.......... L.......... O.......... W.......... Right before the general manager left, she mentioned about cleaning. I was supposed to be To-Go. Celia, the expo, said she really didn't feel like expo-ing, and asked if I'd like to switch. Thats the only job I would give up being To-Go for. We switched. She promptly got a $16 tip for a $20 ticket. Yeah, I'm jealous, all right. Anyways, we were there until about 9. The cooks did a wonderful job though, I guess thats probably cause it was slow, but even so, more than half their tickets took 8-12 minutes. Sometimes when its slow, they wander off, and tickets still take a long time. When I got off work, I went to Aaron's house for a while. I think we watched Ocean's 12. Either that, or we did nothing, which I think is what ACTUALLY happend. I didn't get to bed until 6 or so. Oh, I think we watched Stigmata over here.

ANyways, Tuesday I woke up JUST in time to take a shower and rush off to work (I think I see a bad habit here). It was at least Pasta Tuesday, so it wasn't as slow as Monday, but it was really slow for a Tuesday. I got off work at 10 with only $4 in tips cause I only had 2 or 3 to-go orders. I went to Aaron's for less than an hour, then came home. I was in bed by 12:30, probably asleep by 1. I was really proud of myself. I got up this morning at 7:30. I'm trying to start some good habits up, like getting up at a decent hour, and working out. If Aaron gets done working early enough for us to have time to go to the gym, we are going to go jogging. :D Yay for me. So, thats all folks. Check back later to see if I did anything of value today. Oh, and Wish me luck!

Snowmachining

Aaron read my blog and pointed out I didn't mention snowmachining. We went snowmachining on saturday. It was really warm. I knew there was something I did before the store. LOL! Anyways, we went from his house to McPeaks (well the chevron next door). We got some gas, and then continued to the river. I let him take me on the river against my better judgement. I was wrong. He was right. (surprise surprise). The river was quite solid. We went to Birch Hill and rode around for a while. Eventually we had to get back. He asked if I wanted to drive some, but I wanted to wait until the road. We got the the road we take between the corner of old rich and dennis and the richardson Highway. He let me drive. I drove slow at first, but soon felt I was getting the hang of it. A sidenote: For anyone who hasn't driven with me, when I drive, instead of easing into the speed I want, I open it up ALL THE WAY, until I am at the speed I want, then I let off the gas. I tried that on the snowmaching, but Aaron pointed out later that the snowmaching has as much horsepower as my car, and only weighs about 500 lbs. That was where the problem came in. We started swerving/tipping everywhere. I seriously thought it was going to tip on its side and send me flying. I tried the break, but nothing happened. Luckily, Aaron grabbed the handlebars (its probably not "handlebars" but whatever) and stopped it. I started crying because I thougth I was going to die, and he was only scared because he thought I might get hurt. It was really sweet of him to worry about me. :D Anyways, we rode the rest of the way home with me crying and then he talked to me about it for a while trying to convince me that we HADN'T almost died and that I was okay. It still scared me.

Finally, they are going to make me server

So, I talked to my boss Saturday morning, and she told me that she was planning on training me to be a server the week after spring break. I'm very excited. That means the 20th I will start training, and I think the training lasts about a week. So, I guess I should update from the rest of the week

Monday: Worked out in the morning , then went to the bank and ACS and Allstate. I was spending that day paying bills. When I went to AllState, they told me they had turned off my car insurance on the 20th. I had been driving without insurance for those 7 days. Good thing nothing happend! :D Anyways, I was REALLY upset. Cried quite a bit. Its really sad that that is what I do when soemthing happens. Cry about it. Its sad how often I cry about stuff, even sometimes silly stuff. Somethings wrong with me! Anyways, I called my dad, and he came over later and we talked about it. After some talk, we went to my insurace place and he payed my insurance bill. Its really nice that he keeps saving me. I didn't want to work, but now more than ever I realized that I HAD to work. I couldn't afford not to. I went to work.

Tuesday: I had promised my dad that I would immediately start looking for either part time work or a different full time job. Monday night I had looked through Sunday's paper and looked online at jobs. I had a list of places to go. I slept in for a long time. When I finally got up, I had to go to work.

Wednesday: I was planning on going job hunting Wednesday, but again soemthing came up. I had dinner at my dads, and then Feast. I had to tell him I hadn't gone job hunting yet. Feast was really nice.

Thursday: The first day of the fast. I am only fasting 6am-4pm because i have to be AT work at 5, and cannot eat at 6 pm, but i cannot start at 4am because I would wake up my roommate. I had dinner at my dads with Aaron. It was fun. I had planned on going job hunting thursday too, but for some reason I was REALLY REALLY tired. I could not figure out why. I just kept falling asleep. Finally I had to meet Aaron to pick up my Resume/References I had printed, and so I HAD to get up. I came home after "lunch" (where I didn't eat) and almost fell asleep then. I cleaned the bathtub before my roommate left town, and then went to dinner (first i stopped by april's to have a little chat). My roommate left town LATE thursday night, and so Aaron and I hung out at his house to give her time to pack and get ready.

Friday: Slept the day away AGAIN and went to work. Work was great on friday. I had alot of fun. When I first got there I saw I was To-Go. I was really excited about that. I LOVE being To-Go. I get tips. It was the first day I was ever scheduled for it. Normally I just end up doing it after everyone leaves, or because someone doesn't show up. This other girl (who is usually expo) wanted to trade, but I told her I never get scheduled for it, and really wanted to do it, and I really needed the money. She said something sounding like she thought she needed it more than me, which I HIGHLY doubt, considering that she lives with her family and is still in highschool. She was mad I wouldn't trade at first, but then Halley traded, and so Halley was QB, and she was Busser/Runner. I was supposed to get tipped out, but Troy didn't feel like giving it to me, so I had to get it Saturday morning. At least I had made $13 in tips that night, so I had SOME money. I bought some food, went to Aaron's house and hung out.

Saturday: Woke up early enough to go to work to get my tips (which was more than last week, which was more than the week before, and so on and so forth). I took it to the bank and deposited it. We didn't have alot of time before I had to work at 4. We did go to WalMart so I could get work pants. Mine were splitting on the "crotch area", which is a really bad place for a split. The pants I got were on cheap, cute and comfortable. (the three C's). I showed up ONETIME (:D) at 4:00. The girl there was going crazy because she was busy. SHe was trying to get out of there at 4, instead of 5 when she was supposed to stay until. She seemed to think she could leave when I got htere. She didn't really do her sidework. Daniella was scheduled for QB and I for togo (yay!). The same girl from last night and Daniella had switched, so she was scheduled for QB again. SHe freaked out, asked me to swtich. When I said no, she got really mad at me, and asked the other girls. They both said no, and so she asked me again. I explained to her that I REALLY needed the tips, and that if I hadn't been togo the night before, then I wouldn't have had ANY food cause I couldn't get my tip out friday night. I tried explaining to her why I needed the money, but she didn't care. She was being mean and grouchy and glaring all night. It was really annoying. Normally, she's really cool, but she was just being a BRAT. I got half an hour overtime and $10 in tips.

Sunday (Today): I woke up in time to go to the store, and then go to work on time (its sad how much I sleep in). I was ToGo again, but it got really busy, and they were short cooks, so halfway through the evening, I started doing expo (I was still togo, but it wasn't too busy for togo) while Kym (the expo) was cooking. She wants to be a cook anyways, so it made her happy. I hope they let her be a cook. I don't see why they wouldn't. It was INSANE busy for a little while (or at least felt that way). Finally, after they had cut all the servers but one (chris) I was going to leave soon. Chris asked if I wanted to take a table. He said he'd give me the tip. I didn't really care about the tip because its my job to help, but he didn't just mean take their drink order, etc. He meant TAKE their table. I took their drink order, borrowed his card and put it in. Brought their drinks, took their food order, brought their appetizer, checked on them a couple times, brought their food order, checked on them some more, brought their check and gave them a comment card. They gave me a $5 tip (and that was low for the % only because they had been waiting a while for service in the first place. I clocked off before I was done, but I didn't care cause I LOVE serving and was so excited. ( I know, I"m really sad). Anyways, that was exciting. I got off work BEFORE 11, so I went to freds to shop. Got food for a while (lots of $1 meals, like frozen pizzas and mac n' cheese. Its sometimes amazing how condiments cost more than the food itself. LOL! I went home and unpacked it all, went to Aaron's and watched a movie and came home.

Title: So I forgot to mention the title, didn't I. Saturday morning I picked up my tips from betsy. I mentioned to her that I had to look for either a part time job or a different job because I couldn't afford to live off working there, unless I was serving. SHe told me she had been planning on promoting me to server after spring break (because she couldn't do it before because her trainer can't work spring break). So 20th is the day spring break is over (monday) and so I SHOULD start training then. I'm very very excited. I know I could make a ton of money serving, so I could get caught up, pay off everyone I owe (Aaron and my dad) and start to really put a dent in all my debt. I could maybe get a cell phone eventually (definatly not yet, and Aaron said not until I pay him back). I could start worrying less about money. I still would try to be careful with it, but just I wouldn't worry like I have been recently. It would all be really nice. So, yeah, thats really nice. :D
