| Oh the power of venting
I DO have something to rant about (and I'll try to keep it short.)
I
really hate when two people are in a relationship and when that
relationship ends, people pick sides. Why? I don't get it. I think it's
stupid. My parents were married 27 years...so why do one have to hate
one person in the relationship and side with the other?
I was asked the other day what I felt about the fact that my father cheated on my mother.
I
honestly, in the past two years, haven't thought about it. I saw that
my father left because he was unhappy. The girlfriend was a side note.
And to be honest, I don't really care. It just makes me sick when my
mom's side of the family talk about my dad in a negative light. Get
your own life. Stop focusing on the mistakes of others.
I
bring this up because apparently people STILL hate me over what
happened between me and Glenn, and I know it. I know that whilst I went
away to Lynchburg in my little happy bubble that people here started to
think less of me. I deserve it, yeah. I'm horrible at calling people
back and since I've gone away to college, I hate talking to people on
the phone. But really, why are people so FUCKING FOCUSED on my life?
WHy do they care? Shit happens. It still reminds me of the time that I
dated someone who cheated on me, and his friends sided with him and
hated me for breaking up with him. I was the good guy, and I got hated
on and criticized.
Maybe this is what I hate most about
relationships. It doesn't really matter how long they are, nine months
or 27 years, people still pick sides at the end.
Why can't everyone just love each other and forgive?

This
is just another part of why i've been feeling so horrible lately. It's
part of a long story on how I really don't feel like I belong here
anymore. In fact, I feel like such a drifter and I totally hate myself
right now. There has been a lot on my mind, and in the past month, I
really have been quite alone. I go to the grind, and that's about it. I
don't have inspiration for much else.
In fact, Dr. Alerding
called me yesterday because she suspected that something wasn't right
because I hadn't emailed her in about 2-3 weeks or so. She landed a job
at James Madison University (JMU!) and it makes me happy that she
finally found something.
Anyway, the only thing that has been
keeping me sane is Vacation Bible School. It has been a total blast! I
love it. Pastor Donna and I have been working on the Bible Adventures
section and it has been fun. Hahahaha today she acted as Lazarus (whom
Jesus resurrected from the dead) and it was so funny...the kids totally
got a kick outta us. Monday we did this story about a paralyzed man
being lifted through the roof of this house by his friends so that he
could be healed by Jesus. Pastor Donna got to throw stuff through the
makeshift ceiling, hehe.
On Sunday, I went to church and
afterwards, a bunch of the men helped me finish the walls I was
building for VBS. My church is pretty amazing, we finished up in like
20 minutes. I gave Mike Aldrich (one of the guys from church) a ride
home, and then I went to Deb's graduation party. It was so good to see
her again!
After that I went to work. I totally freaked a bunch of people out when I'd recite random history facts to them... "Your
total sir is $17.83 and did you know that that was the year that the
U.S. signed the Treaty of Paris and finally gained independence?" "$18.85...Chester Arthur was serving his term as the 21st president during this year."
Amazing.
that night I came home and painted dropcloths for church. Yay
Monday
afternoon I slept and ran out to Jo Ann's and Home Depot. I am not a
Home Depot fan but their prices on dropcloths are about half of Smith
Hardware's. I also got Edy's Caramel Praline Frozen yogurt and it's
really good.
Today I slept. And read up about Route 66 a lot.
On
Saturday I worked, too. I ran into Doug Hufnagel which was a pleasant
surprise. He dyed his hair black with a blonde stripe in it. I used to
work with him at Smith's back in the day.
Oh how everything is always better in retrospect.

but not quite! No, I will not quit writing!
Blah...so
yeah. Yesterday I woke up really early and went up to church to build
me some walls. It took me 2 hours to build the first one, and I felt so
accomplished when it was finished!
The other wall is still
sitting on the floor, lol. I couldn't quite get the electric
screwdriver to work right towards the end, and then I had some issues
with the nailing. So I drove to Subway in Forest Hill, ordered a sub
from Christina Nunez (we were in AP chem together) and then I ate it
and went to work.
Work yesterday has become a giant blur to me.
I got pissed a lot. I was stuck at the register whilst everyone else
got to stock shelves. I did run into Doug Hufnagel though, whom I use
to work with, and now he has super cool emo hair, lol. Ran into Ms.
Karen, one of my old troop leaders, too.
I became very slap
happy tired yesterday though. I shut the drawer a lot without giving
the people their change. And I giggled and practically fell over.
Damaris bought me a soda so that I would stay awake driving home. Yay.
I
got really petty mad because Damaris would assign me a job and then
halfway through would give it to Leah. That made me angry. However, I
did not pack a dinner but yet mysteriously Damaris and Deana gave me
the rest of their chinese food. Score!!!! And Deana gave me a peanut
butter cup. Double Score!!!
today I woke up very tired and very
sore. It made the day go by so slowly. first, Janey and I were doing
makeup (I was setting up displays and the like) but then her back hurt
and she went home early.
I got a small child who tried to pay
for gum with coupons, lol. I also got an angry father who wanted cough
meds but didnt have his ID (this happened yesterday, sort of, except
the kid was 17 and 8 months old.) I also ran into Father Jim, "The
priest from my old church before I switched denominations"
hehehehehehehe
Linda gave me Sun Chips. Oh, and Henry and I got
to work together a lot today. Aka, he fixed all of my register
mistakes. Good trainee. Henry is pretty sweet. We joke with each other
a lot. He reminds me of Nelson in appearance, but nothing else. (Too
bad Henry is like 30 something...just kidding) At one point I asked
Henry for change and so he asked me for 120, and I interpreted that as
one $20 bill. He really meant one twenty (dollars!!!!!)
Yeah so I went to Home Depot and came home. Did I mention that Home Depot's customer service blows?
I got compliments today for being polite on the phone and for knowing my cigars, lol.
So
now i get to go to bed and then go to the grind again! Oh and Cosmo has
some of the best sex tips ever, lol. Yeah yeah, so that is how I pass
the time at Rite Aid. Read magazines.
Some lady complained
today about how faulty our price system is because she was ripped off
21 cents for windshield wash fluid. Silly lady, she should have really
gone to Smith Hardware because really she was ripped off 42 cents. Snap.
okay
now bed for real. HAhah but one last thing. Poor Henry got a bunch of
his hair chopped off by accident the other day. See mommy, this is why
I haven't gotten those split ends cut yet...
And I think i want to be a college professor and get that double major in history.
I got all emo this evening and depressed but calling Pastor Donna for her birthday made me feel better ^_^

So I figured out why I've been so down lately and depressed. So I'm going to say it. I HATE MY JOB.
If
one knows me very well, they would know that I typically don't hate
anything. But well, Rite Aid is an exception. They have sucked away my
life for the past three weeks. I want to quit, but the only reason I
have the job is because my father is one of my district managers, so I
don't really want to let him down. Nor do I want to be called a failure.
Plus,
I've decided to write a book (or novella or short storey or whatever)
on my Rite Aid experience, and well, if I quit now, it sure puts a
damper on things (unless I lie about the ending...oh creativity.)
Although I could easily work for Jeff Lynn for $10 an hour!
So
anyway...this morning I woke up at Megan's house (wait, I slept?)
Hahahaha I woke up about every 1.5-2 hours. And I figured that out,
too, why I haven't really enjoyed spending the night at Megan's house
lately. In the past, we would sleep downstairs in Megan's old room,
where no dogs or nothing bothered us. Plus, I had a bit more room to
sleep. Now Megan and Becca have switched rooms, and now we are on the
main floor, which is fucking disasterous. I can hear her parents get up
at 6am and the dogs running around and when all of the siblings get up
and watch TV and stuff. It's aggrevating and disappointing. I don't
hate her dogs (in fact, I like them a lot) but I just don't enjoy when
the only space that they can use to get onto Megan's bed is my back :(
Anyway,
so we hung out a bit that morning, and then Megan went to work and me
to church. I had Mr. Gene let me in, so I carried all of my lumber
inside to make my Vacation Bible School Set (ironically, the pressures
of Bible School have kept me sane lately.) So I carried it all
downstairs and then found out that neither my screws or nails were
large enough to connect the 2x4's together. D'oh.
So I went and visited Nannie (Glenn's grandma - she's awesome by the way) and then I came home and showered and stuff.
While
I was at bible school, I realized that I really needed another day off
(Sunday) and so I called my general manager to see if he had made the
schedule yet. So I call and Dennis answers the phone. He tells me that
the schedule was made that morning, and that I was working Sunday. I
told him my scenario and he was like "too bad because you are on 2-10"
or something to that extent. Then come to find out, he had me on all
day work when I specifically asked for evenings next week, and then he
had me working on my birthday!!! I was PISSED.
He called two
hours later to say that there was a schedule mixup (HAHAHAHA yeah
right) and then gave me my new hours. I work sunday, wednesday,
thursday, and saturday. Woo. Not, because I work this week Monday,
thursday, friday, saturday. So I get four days straight, aka the entire
weekend.
Oh Rite Aid makes me angry. "I make the schedule one
week in advance" yeah, considering today is Wednesday and next week
starts on Sunday, I would call that "I make the schedule FOUR DAYS in
advance" and this occurs weekly. And yeah there's other stuff I hate
about Rite Aid, too, but I should try to hold off discussing that.
I'm such a snotty emo brat.
I
went to the Orioles game tonight with my mum, Ms. Sharon, and Tracy.
They won 4-0 against the Florida Marlins. It was an amazing game. I got
a kids tshirt with the orioles on it, and got my picture taken with the
Bird. I caused a huge pileup whilst getting ice cream though. Oh that
was hilarious. The lady overcharged me and then couldn't figure out how
to void it and then locked up the register (this sounds quite
familiar...oh like rite aid) and then the line grew to 20 people (angry
people) behind me and I felt horrible. The lady told me not to come
back to that line, lol.
There was almost a fight on the field,
too! Melvin Mora got hit by a ball and then both teams rushed the field
and it was crazy. Wanna know something really crazy though? On the ride
back home on the light rail, we were entertained by a bunch of super
hot (and very drunk) Towson U. boys!!! "ORIOLES!!!" "OLE OLE!" "USA!!!
SPAIN!!!!" And then someone shouted "Yankees!" and then lotsa boos
occured lol (like it should be!) But yeah they asked my mom out, lol.
And there was a blonde Lexi Smith look alike!!! (drool.)
So I am home now. Not excited about fully figuring out the last three weeks of my life, but, that's obsession for ya.
