hrrrm

well had an interesting day =-.0=
was 20 minutes late for work cause of the lovely bus-driver.
poor woman is over-worked, she’d driven the bus I took home last night too and then she had to work the same route this morning going the other way. I heard her complaining to some passengers a couple weeks ago that they’d upped her hours and were making her work on her days off. That’s probably just fine if you’re paid hourly, which I sincerely hope she’s being paid, cause if she’s working on a salary then she’s really being overused. that’s jus shitty.
anyway.
she is usually pretty bitchy (prolly due to lack of sleep) and she won’t move the bus -one inch- until every last foot is out of the aisles. so we’d wait between 2 and 3 minutes at every stop until everything was hunky-dory.
that, and she drove somewhat sporadically, sometimes it’d be really fast and other times it’d be really slow.
anyway -.-
(I’m a lil upset with her cause she won’t let me sit computer-style on my seat, she makes me put my feet on the floor. demnit.)
aand! I learned lotsa stuff today :D wheehehehe =^.^=
I’ve had trouble with confidence and enunciating and speaking with a loud voice. Having this stuffy nose isn’t helping, but I’ve had this problem even when I didn’t have one.
I know my stuff, I have trouble putting it into words to prove that I know it? I’m not sure. I’ve got to push past the nervousness and be confident that I know more than the customer, and if I don’t I can ask my cow-orker (in a polite manner) so that my customer feels confident that they’re getting the correct information.
so I tried speaking louder (from all the way across the room, I spoke in a normal higher-pitched voice to Chriss) and she was very proud of me :D cause she could hear me. I kept it up the last few hours of work and started speaking lower cause I din’t wanna appear hyper or something to my housemates an stuff.

oh oh, new stuff here :D
a few fridays ago TJ came in with a large box which unpacked to be a Simpsons pinball machine. I didn’t play it that night cause I fell asleep on the couch while they were putting it together, but I played a lil bit with TJ a few days ago. I sucked (of course) but it was fun and he’s really good at it =O.O=
the show thingy he went to in vegas had 12 of them apparently, and whenever he went to play them there were always at least two available to play. that’s cool, jus enough ;)
uhm…vhat else…
we have a new housemate :D
he’s french.
I call him frenchie =^.^=
he’s also a chef, and he’s making crepes tonight. I still have no idea what they are, but the pastry stuff part was yummy, so I think the rest will be too =^.^=
I like cheezits.
my box is almost gone =-.0=
I also like reeses pieces, and those’re almost gone too -.-
bleh :p
well, I guess I donno what else to say here cept yea. =0.-=
stuff :p
*hugs*

=-.0=

I’ll probably write more later today.

was sitting at the bus-stop yesterday around 6:30.
the bus-stop is near the Pasta Market, which is on the other side of where I work.
most of the people who work at this italian restaurant are spanish, hehe ;) my boss sends me in there frequently to get her lunch, and while I’m there I talk to the guys in spanish.
anyway, I was sitting at the bus-stop, had about ten minutes to wait for the 22.
a father and his two children walked by (on their way to the pasta market) and I watched them until they disappeared, and then the mother and another child walked by, following them.
the mother turned toward me and asked if I was alright.
it wasn’t until I’d told her twice that I was fine, and she’d gone into the restaurant, that I realized I was crying.

I wonder how much I do that =-.0=

camera worketh!

I got my camera working.
I took a gazillion shots before liking this one (one of the first ones I took, ironically.)
the rest were too grainy ;.;
anyway :D
I like this picture. =^.^=
lori window sleep
g’night an stuuuuuff!!
*hugglies*

=-.0=

I guess I haven’t really posted much lately. :P
been very busy.
shortly after the funeral, (like days) I had an interview with Carrie over at Wireless World (in Menlo Park)
congrats to me, I’m now the latest employee for Menlo Park’s wireless world. I now sell cell-phones. woohoo. :P
somewhat ironic that prior to working there I knew how to call someone with a cell, but that was bout the
extent of my knowledge. I also had no prior sales experience aside from standing behind a counter and taking
people’s orders.
I don’t think I’m doing too bad for a three-week-old employee. I’ve already sold $712 of merchandise (more, cept that’s the profit, excluding what the product cost.) so that means my first commission check will be near 100 bucks. woohoo :D
I get paid on the 20th, the 5th and the 10th. the 10th’s a commission check so yea.
And! I’ve not been neglecting my drawing! there’re these neato lil post-it notes that I’m sposed to write phone
messages on in neat colors like yellow and green and pink. wonderful with my gel-pens. :)
I do like working, makes me feel very useful. however, I’m not accepted at work for who I really am =-.0=
I’ve gotta wear weird clothes (with belts matching the shoes, wtf? I have to wear a belt?) and like, no jeans or tshirts and definetly not my favorite pair of shoes. I’m also forbidden to meow. my one cow-orker hates cats, so she
threatens me with an invisible tazer every time I accidentally meow (usually after coming back to work after having my days off, and I have once again gotten used to bein a kitty)
anyway <…<
I think it'd be courteous of me to get another fridge to replace it, but apparently my boss doesn't care since the fridge was my sister's and yea. =0.-=
*shrug*
at some point I might replace it. it doesn't seem to be in very great demand though.
anyway :)
I like peanutbutter-and-jelly better than cheese-and-turkey sandwhiches.
my ears are hurting now cause of headphones. I'm gonna go see what's goin on in the front room.
(woohoo! we got a new roomate, he's from france, and he's apparently a really good cook. :D he's gonna make crepes for us sometime next week. I'm lookin forward, whatever crepes are they sound yummy :P )
*hugglies*
gweeeee =^.^=
