THE COKE LADY

so, this lady calls work today and asks how long coke is on sale (meaning the 3-day only sale till sunday of 12 for $10). so after i find out she means this sale and not the 4 for $5 sale that goes till the end of the week, she blasts into me about how she only has 88cents and that the other day she left $1 in dimes with another employee, so if she doesn't have enough money then she expects us to still give it to her. so, later she comes into the store and has her 2 liter bottle of coke, which rings up to a total of 99cents with the crv. she blasts into me again about how she left her money with the other employee and that she expects to still get her coke. luckily another employee was standing there and helped me out and after telling her that that was not okay what that other employee did, she finally took her coke and left.

MY FRIEND ANGELICA (A.K.A. ANGEL CHILD)

i spent the night with angelica, who got lost trying to take a shortcut back to davis and instead came all the way to sac instead. we got stuck behind some train crossing bars for like 20 minutes and they didn't go up until angelica threatened to call 911. she made me dinner, then breakfast including a yummy smoothie, and we watched the craft, went to church, which was all in spanish, meaning i never laughed at any of the jokes made, and then went out to eat thai food. we stopped by longs to pick up a few things before heading back and i got to use my employee discount card for the first time!

it's HOT and i have work tomorrow from 12-4:30.

TOMORROW'S A BREAK

yay! tomorrow's my first day off since starting work.

come visit.

JUST ADD THIS TO MY LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS...

i started my first day of training at longs today from 1-5pm. i spent most of the time doing training on the computer and then spent about the last half hour watching and being helped on the register, which was a bit overwhelming, but i hope i can get the hang of it all very soon. i was so into it that i stayed an extra half hour... tomorrow i go in from 10-2. wish me luck. i just might need it!

THE SNOT(T) IS BACK

so, i know i've gone MIA lately and that's because i've been in sac, brentwood, and davis the past few weeks and just got connected to the internet this afternoon thanks to cable man jeff. i spent this past weekend in davis visiting angelica, who sure was patient considering that i did not make one decision the whole time i was there. myLove came up on the 4th and the three of us went to see war of the worlds. lots of action. some parts were even a bit scary. the end was pretty predictable though, and that's not considering that i read the book. in the book there were no children, peoples! before that i spent some time in brentwood and got to go to uncle rusty and aunt pat's reception and then jenny's birthday party/bbq. then they brought me back up here and got to see the place. yael came by today for a nice visit. i got to talk to my dancing partner alex today over the phone. i'm a bit disappointed that i won't be able to see him in person, seeing as i didn't get to see him last time he was in calif. but maybe we can go visit him in oregon or something. tomorrow morning i have an interview with longs drugs. i know, i'm copying myLove, but hey, they're the first place to call me back, and so i'm hoping that they'll hire me and give me a job. i don't even mind that it would be part-time. wish me luck!
