Well, I was dating who I thought was a great guy if not a bit misguided. Turns out I was the idiot. Anyhow, post more later..

Dead Letters
By The Rasmus
The Guilty
see relatedI feel guilty
My words are empty
No signs to give you
I don't have the time for you
You say I'm heartless
And you say I don't care
I used to be there for you
And you've said I seem so dead, that I have changed
But so have you
Guilty, guilty I feel so
Empty, empty you know how to make me feel
I put a shield upon you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I would have only poisoned your mind
Never meant to make you cry
You've been so thoughtless
I can see right through you
You used to be there for me
So don't you leave say goodbye
Cause you have changed but so have I
<YOU> never thought that the time and the distance
between us made you so much colder
I'll carry the world on my shouldersBut not for you anymore.

I Hate Everything About You
By Three Days Grace
see relatedI'm so exhausted.. last week I was to the point that I was ready to tell management to go to hell and was so close to walking out of that fuckin' store that it's not even funny.
Aside from the fact that I utterly loathe this time of year.. (my brother calls it Single-discrimination Day, via me calling it Dooms Day) I just don't see the point of celebrating such a pointless holiday.. I mean.. if you want to get technical about it, then you're supposed to show the one you're with how you feel about them year round.. not on any special designated day.. so by having a designated day, you pretty much tell each other that you don't have to show how much you care about them till that day.. It's stupid..
Now work itself.. I was given a weekend off! WOAH! Yeah.. so I spent the weekend at my best friend's house and hung out with him and his little sister. Saturday we (Josh, Sam, and I) went and saw Unaccompanied Minors. Great movie really. Then the rest of the weekend was spent mostly with him playing a game, me texting people.. XD! and watching him play Zelda.. peaceful and no work involved.. heaven..
So.. weekend over. Found out some really bad news on Sunday which I'm not going into. My nephew was over.. o-O I can't remember the day too much.. 'cept that he was definitely over at our house... Whatever.. I had to be up at work at 10 on Monday so I passed out about midnight. Felt sick in the morning and contemplated calling in but I went regardless. Was scheduled to work as an event cashier in Jewelry Monday through Wednesday, Feb 14. The most loathed day in the history of the world... in my opinion anyhow. Worked my ass off upstairs and down to get work done. Didn't even get finished but I worked hard and I did this all while feeling sick. I got off work at 7 but hung around talking to people and bothering others till 11.
Tuesday I was scheduled to work 11 to 8. I ended up working 11 to 11. Long as hell day and I was hyper at the end of the day but I was exhausted too. Got my work done in shoes and spent most of my time in Jewelry so working in shoes was sparse and as fast as possible. The day before Valentines was uber busy. I don't even think I took but my hour lunch and a thirty minute lunch later on. Both mandatory. I didn't take any fifteen minute breaks, it was that busy.
Wednesday, I was scheduled again from 11 to 8. I spent the first hour blowing up balloons for a customer and then went to confer with my department head about what needed to be done in my department. Jewelry wasn't busy at all so I didn't get over there till a few minutes after 12. Obviously I should have gone over there first thing because I go chewed out and then the department head of jewelry went to management and had them come down and talk to me. It was pure and total bullshit. That stupid bitch over jewelry claimed that she was busy and needed me over there and shit. For starters, she watched me walk in the damn building. Followed me with her eyes as she was talking on the phone. And the one time she called for help, she was working on a modular while the woman she called for was waiting on a single customer! That's fuckin' it! The whole point was that she was angry that I didn't immediately go over there. She didn't have to bitch me out like she did and then go talk to management about it. I'm sure she would have gotten me a coaching if she could have.. GRRRR!
That was Wednesday. I was fed up on Thursday but I worked my shift and didn't complain. I only worked from 5 to 10 though. I was scheduled to take an hour lunch but management told me I didn't have to. Five hours isn't worth the hassle of a lunch. So I worked my hours and went home period. I didn't even bother to stay till 11 and talk to people. I don't think.. o-O I don't remember too well. I don't think I did.. but now that I think about it, I think I did stay around till 11 just not on the clock.
Friday I only had to work from 4 to 10. I worked my ass off again and didn't get my work finished. I figured I could get it done on Saturday since they had to give me Sunday off.. apparently it's against the law to work more than six days in a roll.. I thank ye gods of labor for that law.. >_< Anyhow, work from Monday through Friday alone ammounted to 36.7 hours. Now the WM week ends on Friday. A good thing for them really because if you were to include the hours I worked Saturday I'd have a grand total of 43.5 hours. Three and a half hours overtime. But Saturday is the start of a new week.. >_< I worked 10 to 6 on Saturday. I was exhausted when I finally got home and I spent Sunday attempting to recuperate by staying in bed for most of the day..
I love certain aspects of work but hate it that I work my ass off and get treated like some sort of slave.. and then they'll cut my hours and expect me to get the same ammount of work done in fewer hours. What's really funny is that I can't get the work all done when my hours are plentiful. My workload is so grand.. but they don't seem to fuckin' care..
I was invited to go live with someone.. if only I had my license.. maybe I'll get it just so I can get out of this town.. and get some peace and quiet.. She's got a home in the country with horses and the like.. I'd miss Mousie.. but I could live and I could visit. Maybe..

Listen To Your Heart
see relatedI want to feel...
the touch of your hands
running your fingers
loosely through my hair
I want to feel...
your hand caressing
my cheek in the way
that a beloved would do
I want to feel...
the touch of your lips
pressed against mine
coaxing them apartSurprisingly enough, this isn't directed at anyone.

About Me
-
I work overnight at Wal-Mart in my local town. I enjoy my work and for the most part the people I work with. It's like one big family. I have a lot of friends, quite a few I work with but others from around different places. I love meeting new people sometimes at least I do when the situation is that they didn't come looking for me specifically. Psycho..
