CONCERT

betty's playing in concert in san francisco this weekend.

check it out!

IT'S BEEN A LONGS DAY.

i worked a full shift today. it kinda dragged. we got a new person today. his name is chris. he transferred from a store in bakersfield. his store was a 24hour store. i wasn't scheduled to work the register today. i still did a bit at the end though. because i didn't work the register there weren't many rude people today. we got new bags. they say something else on them. i don't remember now what they say. for lunch i bought a lean cuisine frozen meal. it was good. it was only $2.55. i had a headache the second half of the day. i felt really tired. i was hot earlier but then i was cold.

i work tomorrow, but not too early, not too late. the time changes, so i am glad i don't work too early. i have halloween off. i don't get to dress up. i don't have anything to dress up anyways. if i were working, i would want to dress up. because scot said we could dress up.

im tired. i might watch close to home though. its a pretty good show.

ANOTHER ONE...

there was this guy who came in, and from what i heard, he wanted to return something. our manager helped him out at the photo register and i heard him telling him that without a receipt, all he could get was store credit. the guy became all angry and started yelling at him, cussing him out. the manager walked him out of the store, the whole time the other guy yelling and cussing at him calling him bitch and whatnot. when he made it out the door, he told him, "you come outside!" to which our good ol' manager replied, "yeah, well you come back in here!" the guy took off and that was that.


i've also posted about the t-shirt guy, so check out the story on my myspace blog page. i will be posting it to my website page sometime soon. but for now, go to mymyspacepage to read all about it. or, you can ask stephanie all about it.

IT WAS...

...BETTY WHITE!?!

that's right folks, if you missed the end of ellen today, she unveiled the potato chip thief, and it was ...BETTY WHITE!

my manager asked me if i wanted to stay and work a full shift today and i told him, sure, even though i would be missing my show. so, even though i missed the first half, i got to see the last half, including the potato chip thief unveiling, thanks to the television in the break room. it was a bit fuzzy, but it wasn't too bad. i could clearly see that the thief was... BETTY WHITE!

oh, and did i mention the potato thief was...BETTY WHITE?!?


so, scot made me vote for employee of the quarter. i voted for... *insert name of person i voted for here*

oh, and i was impressed by my manager today. HE KICKED BUTT!!! this guy came in this morning that always steals from us and we didn't see him come in, only going out. in fact, it's like the 3rd time or so that he's been kicked out of the store. scot called out to him to come back in the store and asked him what he had stolen. he got back a can of something and then tried to get what was in the guy's backpack, cause he saw some wine in there and something else. the guy got all aggressive and took off. scot followed after him and grabbed his backpack, ripping it. the guy took a swing at him and from what i saw, tried to hit him with his bike. i, of course, got all worried about scot, hoping he was alright. you never know with these people. they're scary! anyways, what a way to start out the day, eh?

for whatever it's worth, and althought briefly, i got to sit in the manager's chair!

WHY AM I SO TIRED?

i am still hoping that i don't catch whatever it is that landed 7 of our employees at home unable to work yesterday or sent them home. i hear the throw up flu is going around. i felt bad for the poor pharmacist guy cause he was back there all alone. our managers had to go back there and help him ring people up. plus, i witnessed some guy going off on him and him telling the guy to leave the store. i was really tired last night and i was tired tonight as well. luckily alex walked home with me last night and tonight, jay gave us a ride home.

i missed earl tonight cause i had to work, but i'm watching svu now. the guy who played agent skinner on x-files guest stars.

i actually have 2 days off in a row this coming week. i wish myLove would come see me. oh yeah, he has school... :'(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WENDY AND KE11Y!

4OUR MEALS

2 days. i just got four meals outta my chipotle burrito and chips and salsa. all for only $6.36 at the nearest chipotle. can't beat that, eh?

i love you chipotle.

ANTHRO CLUB WEBSITE UPDATE

that's right, the anthropology club at sonoma state has updated their website with a new fresh look.

go see.

brought to you by me.

A LONG MORNING

this morning was a long day at work. we're already short employees who work the morning shift, and our 7:30 person went home sick, which meant that we only had three people there until 10: me, the assistant manager, and the bookkeeper, and i always forget our bookkeeper is there (no offense), cause usually she's locked in the bookkeeping room.

i resisted the urge to go to chipotle and jamba juice today and instead bought a few groceries and ate at home.

DREAMS

what does it mean when you keep dreaming about a particular person? i know i took a dream class, but i don't have a dream group anymore to help me out on this.

MY 15 MINUTES OF ELLEN

that's about all i get when i work till 3:30, but then again, i'm also getting paid for working, so i's can't complain too much. today ellen gave everyone in the audience a year's subscription to tv guide and a flat screen television. she's also raised close to $8 million for her hurricane relief fund. someday i'm going to go on the ellen degeneres show.

DON'T GO THERE

you thought i was going to say it, didn't you? "don't go there girlfriend!" haha, jk.

no, what i meant was don't go to the subway on J and 21st in sac. it's quite disappointing. i just go there because it's the closest subway and sometimes i just have to have my subway. anyways, it's not kept very nice and the people who work there are lacking. they don't appear very clean (looked like they don't wash their hair) and their appearance just isn't very nice. no smiling or anything either. plus, they short you on the vegetables. i hardly got any lettuce on my sandwich, and the only thing i actually got plenty of was onions, which was quite nice. but anyways, i'd give them a 2, and after eating my sandwich, i upped it to a 3 because it was still subway. i'm just glad i got my food to go. if you have a choice, i'd try a different one before going to this one.


but hey, i got the best deal today. i got a 50 pk of ibuprofen from longs and it was only $1.

SCHEDULE CHANGE

THUR - 6:30-3:30


today was a long day. our 10am called in sick, my backup felt sick, and i was on the register for 7 hours.

our new pharmacy tech has arrived.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

i'll tell you what it is... it's those nasty disgusting people who shop at the downtown longs. the worse they smell, the longer they talk to you and the more questions they have for you.

on a lighter note, we have a new employee. she shadowed me today for a whole minute maybe before i was off the register.

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY SOCKS...

stayed on my feet all through the night. except my right sock was twisted upside down.

SAFETY PARTY. OH YEAH, AND MY SHIRT SMELLS OH SO GOOD!

today we had our safety pizza party at work. and... it was the good pizza too, from pizza guys. i liked the garlic chicken with the different cheeses.

this shirt i'm wearing smells so good. my underwear smells good too! my mom got some of that new tide febreze detergent and boy does it smell good! i even picked up some today, since it was on sale at the store with a mail-in-rebate. go out and get some and you'll be walking around smelling your own shirt every few seconds too.

i mailed mom's package. we'll see how long it takes to get to her.

my day at work wouldn't have been complete without someone yelling at me.

NEW SHIRT, NEW SHOPPING CARTS

we got some new shopping carts finally sometime over the weekend when i was gone. they're the new ones, too. gotta keep an eye out for them...

i also got a new shirt today, since one of mine didn't have the name stitched on the sleeve. my new shirt is also a women's shirt, so maybe it'll fit me better.

the new schedule is out, so i'll have to post it along with this week's schedule. i don't think i've posted it yet...

RELAY WEEKEND

so, just got back last evening. stopped by the relay in the morning to see david, went back after going shopping with mom and met up with my friend tim and his friend david, saw jodie for a few minutes, got my hair cut, ate dinner with family including nana and uncle robert, lunch at round table with kevin's parents, stephen, michael and stephanie before driving back.

too little time.
