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=
