i'm Limited...just look at me. (another Wicked quote..incase you weren't sure.)

so i had my interview at limited too...and the girl who interviewed me was really cool..probably 20 somthing and lets face it, she thought i was amazing. not that i had too muchcompetition though, the other girls in my group both said they were shy before the interview even started, then one said her proudest moment was grad. from hs cause her junioryear she got straight Ds and hd to go to an alternative school. and the other girl said she wasnt outgoing. what the smack.
so they just called and offered me the job, i swear that was my TOP choice cause i'd be doing fun stuff and working with girls my age, but they would onlybe able to give me 4 hours a week too and last night Sally, my supervisor at marshalls, said that for the next two weeks i was getting full time hours there. so as much as i like lmited too and wanted to work there i had to say no cuz that would be wayyy to confusing trying to work the schedules together. i know im reallllllllly gonna regret it if i start getting crappy hours after these two weeks again.
the girl who interviewed me personality changed completely...she went from loving everything i had to say and story i toldin the interview to being like oh okay uh yeah, well bye.
ugh i better not regret this.

hmm to leave on a positive note -> we bought moochow (juliet) some pretty bomb toys so im like counting down the minutes till she comes home so we can play!
cross your fingers that the hours at marshalls stay plentiful haha.
adios tacos.

Honey, you mean HUNKules!!!

why was i always the fat loud muse from hercules?

today we were downtown taking dad somewhere and there were a ton of people coming out of the st. john center or whatever its called and they were all holding obama signs....so we're sitting in traffic for 14 years cause he was speaking there and the speech had just gotten over . so while we are chilling for 15 minutes we see all these secret service men come utu and then BAM. there is barack obama in a suit behind them. just then a car backfired which sounded like a war weapon and he flew to the ground screaming and t he securtiy flew all over shooting at people, some of them even pulled out bows and arrows!! one of them flew and hit our tire causing it to blow up but by then they had realized it wasn't really a gun, it was just the ghetto oldsmobile down the street. we ended up having to push the car to Augusta, Maine to go to a tire specialist.
it was an eventful day.

unfortunatley i started stretching the truth starting with the car backfiring...which never really did happen.
it made a good story though

here puppypuppypuppy

ive been going around saying that alllll day..i couldnt remember where i heard it but it was from intervention. some lady was hallucinating a dog. figures hah
our puppy came home today!! i dont think ive said her name yet because it sounds weird in my head. holy smack she is sooo small! and CRAZY.
i know dad said she was kind of wild but oh man...i had to work today because one of my coworkers dad died suddenly, and when i got home they were already there and she was pulling so hard dad had to let go of the leash, and she jumped onme like 3 times...im not going to lie i ran to her too so i got her excited. the chances of her jumpig on tricia? yeah, zero. but then i sat on the floor with her and she tried to lick my face like 100 times and if you let her she doesthat strange bite thing. her mouth doesnt really close but it gets your attention...its hard to explain.
its weird to pet her without the lump like hobbit used to have so i directed a moment of silence for stink-o, "mr. barkey", grummy, grumbo, hobbstein, the hobbinator, or just hobbit, which ever you preferred.
she was pretty pooped after t ht though so she slept. ohh and another weird thng is she'll lay on herback with all her feet in the air so you will scratch her tummy..ive never seen a lab do that!! shes like a crack dog. she will randomly have this scary look on her face and stare at the ceiling with her mouth open so i got a picture. haha and theres one of her curledup like a bagel. so i'll put those up and the ones her raiser sent of her tomorrow. she was the cutest puppy, like for real puppy.

work was good, realllly busy. i worked with a lady named beth and she tlks more than me. shes had clients ask for her emil address and they straight up told her email was easier cause she talked too much on the phone. shes funny though, she has a full time job but works at marshalls just for the people. not even kidding, she only gets like 4 hours a week. anywho she told me a story about how she saved her husbands life bc she thought he was having a panic attack so she ave him an asprin (not sure why that would help...) but it turns out he was really having a heart attack so that aspirin saved his life. hahaha oh gosh you would have to hear her tell it.
im finally getting 20 hours next week! sweeet for that yo.
well im gonna sleep i'll put those pictures up tomorrow.

whatcha whatcha know bout me??

apparently the cool thing to talk about is dreams.
mine is going to sound like im complaining but im really not, im just talking.


every single person who is reading this has said something about me going into behavioral sciences that came out sounding less than nice...obviously you guys aren't a bunch of haters and you didnt say those things knowing that they sounded the way they did..its sometimes funny to me because i know it looks weird.

during finals week i brought the idiots guide to quitting smoking to school to read after my tests. just like chelsee likes history and marcie likes writing i like learning about coping skills, and diary cards, and anxiety workbooks.

i know people say its fake and treehugger ish but i dont want to become a psychiatrist...i dont want to go to medicl school so i can give out pills and hope they work well together. i want to work in a hospital, be a group leader...change someones life. ya know?

so the details of my dreams change sort of often but thats the good thing about being in a profession like that..they train you in everything

ive wanted to open my own hospital for teenagers but then i heard of a place called the Center For The Intrepid and decided i could never compete with a name like that...even though thast for wounded soldiers..still.

ive wanted to work in an eating disorder clinic and even though thats what i consider to be the hardest i still do

ive wanted to work with alcoholics anonymous and alanon especially.

ive wanted to work at this place in utah thats mormon based and youre kid aren't allowed in unless the parents agree to do some kind of therapy with it.. i think thats rad.

yeah i know you get paid just as much as a highschool drop out and that people get bored after like 3 years...trust me i've heard! but i think as long as you dont narrow it down too much by saying something like you ONLY want to work with substance abuse then you can go a lot further.
so those are my dreams, along with that goes being on the tyra banks show, dancing with ellen degeneres, and meeting reese witherspoon. if youre gonna dream, might as well dream big right?

the good things in life--disney movies and hannah montana music.

limited too called me, i have an interview withthem on monday since marshalls is weird with hours..
annd toy story 3 has been announced...it doesnt come out until im 20..but still the basic summary is
Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college.
i remember when he was going to cowboy camp!!

my blistas have blistas..

thats sick.

i alway have stuff to blog about after work, interesting or not im writing!
it starts like this...nobody is there to tell me what to do, im not sure if thats normal but okay. so i basically picked out outfits for every child that will ever be born..it was kind of exciting actually...some lady come up to me and asked if i knew what a moses carrier was, or something like that and i didnt. and we didnt have it anymore. but she was telling me that they just found out they were having a boy yesterday and that she should have bought it so i told her to come back thursday cause maybe we'll have it then. i dont think we will but i felt sorry for her.
then i was putting away mens clothes and there is this 40something year old black guy who looked KINDA homelesss...idk if its just me but i think a lot of people look homeless in the winter cause they wear goofy huge coats. anyways he started talking to me and it hought he was just being friendly and he was like do you like working here? blahblah we talked about american idol and he kept walking towards me (we were like 6 feet away) and im walking the opposite direction without reallythinking about it cause i thought i was moving out of his way haha. then he asksed my name and told me his..blahblah then i walked away to the athletic part andhe followed me! and he was whispering and thats when the pedofile sirens started blaring...
i swear on my life he said
"i'd really like to get to know you better..what do you think about that?"
and i started laughing pretty hard but tried to disguise it by being quiet and just smiling and i said umm i dont really think so.
then he said why not?
and i hold back all the rude comments i could say like you look homeless for starters, youre older than my dad, i obviously look young, im at work..what the smack, and that i could get a manager to make him leave for sying that but instead i looked at hiim and said " i am SEVENTEEN years old!" then he said good point and walked away....
hah idk theres something about me that old black men find attractive...but i thought it was funny. gotta love the freaks.
then some chinese lady tried having a looong converstion with me and it didnt sound anything close to english so i just nodded a lot.
im reading a book right now called you dont know me. i have just barely 100 pages left so ive already ready 240 but i think im goingto quit reading it.its sooo boring but i kept thinking maybe it would pick up, its too wordy he has to describe everything so now im searching for someone to just tel me the ending.
interesting i know.
peace out cub scouts.

Africa, you're welcome...

i would just like to say that because of me spreading the word about giving away rice we have probably fed an entire third world country.

ish

Monday, February 18, 2008

Be Nice, Give Rice.

i definitely made up that slogan as i was typing. its genius
i think if youre bored you should go to

www.freerice.com
if you haven't been before it donates 20 grains of rice to some country for every vocab word you can correctly define...its REALLLY addictive and wouldnt you want rice????

oh bummer. but wait...sweet yo!

i havent posted since thursday and now that even chels is poppin out the blogs i feel like a slacker. (meant to be a compliment)
and since i have nothing interesting to say im going to show you guys a list i made of things that when they happen you think man.. this was so unneccesary! and then a list of things where they happen and youre like "sweet yo." ...this is just a few, if it is enjoyed then ill occasionally keep them coming
oh bummer:
1.You have chapped lips and you whip out your chapstick to apply some but when u open it you realize that half of it is stuck inside the cap therefore it is useless
2.trying to open a door, then realizing its push, not pull.
3.Your walking down the longest hall at school when no one is really around but all the way down the hall you see someone you sort of know, and it ends up being a 20 second awkward moment of trying to decide whether or not to say hello, or trying to avoid making eye contact.
4.You tell a funny story but it ends with “I guess u had to be there" --story of my life
5.You take a nap during the day, and you’re kind of up but not really and someone calls your phone 10 times and its on vibrate on your desk and makes that awful noise that forces you to get up.
6.Your taking a scantron test in school and you don’t have a pencil so the teacher gives you one. then you mess up and try to erase but it is one of those crappy hard plastic erasers that just smudge everything.
7.You say how’s it going to some one and they respond with “not bad you" and u say “not bad you" and there is an awkward silence because you are retarded.
8.Your in a public bathroom u wash ur hands and u go to dry them and they only have that air blower thing which does absolutely nothing except be obnoxiously loud.
9.When you put a nice blob of toothpaste on ur toothbrush u put a little water on it an just before u go to brush your teeth the blob falls off.
10.halfway through a nice shower you realize you left your towel in your bedroom
11. when someone asks you for a piece of gum and then five other people hear and they ask you too.
12.responding with "you too" where it clearly doesnt apply....like when someone says something like "good luck at college" and you reply "thanks you too" even tho they are like 50 and obviously dont go to college or when a waitor says "enjoy your food" and you respond with "thanks, you too"
13.when you're pouring ketchup and the red gross water comes out first
14.When you open a pudding or a yogurt and the seal doesnt rip off all the way so you have to reach under and pull it off but then you get all sticky.
15. When somebody asks you the answer to number 7 on your test and u look down and realize that its a paragraph and u just look at them and say what the smack do u want me to do?!
16. when you get a soda and its a really cool promotion contest, but when you open the cap, its a bunch of letters and numbers and you have to go online to try to redeem it, which no one has ever done.
17.when you try to rip a tag off a new piece of clothing...and only the paper tag rips off, so you have that annoying plastic thing still sticking through..and you can't find scissors.
18. When you're on the internet and you're trying to load a page and it's taking forever so you figure you'll just refresh the page and all will be good but right before you press the refresh button the page loads. but its just too late.
19.When you put on a coat and it rolls up the sleeves of you shirt

Sweet Yo!
1. That happy feeling you get when you eat a really big meal and you feel all tired and lazy.
2. Going to see a movie that you expected to be bad, but your friends dragged you to anyway, and being pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be really good.
3. Finally being able to pee after you held it in for really, really long.
4. Picking one day not to do your homework cause you were just too tired, and then the teacher forgets to check it on that same day
5. Free stuff!
6. Flipping through channels and finding that your favorite movie of all time is just about to start.
7.When people give you 1 of the 2 best compliments possible (you smell good, or youre a good listener hah)
8. Getting a letter in the mail that doesn't happen to be a bill, junk mail, or a death threat.
9. Freaking out for days about a test, thinking you failed it, and ultimately experiencing the relief of getting an A on it. Then after it happens, you just kind of sit there with your mouth open and wonder how you got so good at making crap up.
10. Making someone else cry because they are laughing so hard.
11.Beating minesweeper or solitaire.
12. Getting 11 chicken fries instead of 10
13. Being bummed that you're done eating a pack of gushers but then reaching in and finding a couple more left...and they aren't all squished and mooshy
14. when you're holding something and you almost drop it, but you catch it right as it's about to hit the floor.
15.Two words: new socks.

i think you should make a list now too.

Not that you know me..

okay so i have a story!!!
i hope you guys can follow along and picture yourselves there because im afraid that might be the only way you find it funny (and just to warn you, this could be long)
so it starts like this...its 5 o clock and im watching this 15 year old boy sing Let It Be on ellen degeneres and tricia calls saying i have 5 minutes to be ready to go to Michaels and then go to dinner...i am looking SCRUB. but luckily i showered yesterday, but my hair is curly and poofed up and i had my bangs pinned back with no makeup on.. oh and im wearing a hoodie i threw on.
so we go to michaels...blahblalh unsuccessful trip...but then we go to steak and shake.
our waiter comes and he looks like 16 and has the LOUDEST voice you could imagine...seriously so i find that comical. he gets our drinks and stuff and then we go to order our real food so i told him i wanted the salad and he goes "great choice, i love that" and he doenst say anything to anyone else. then i ask if it has bacon on it and he says (quickly) "no, i dont think so. why? would you like some??" and i laughed and said no. thinking it waas sort of strange.
every 3 minutes after that he came back asking if we would like refills or if everyting was goig good...literally. then he came over and goes did you get your ranch dressing?(even though he could see it) and i said um yeah. we're good. and he says "okay good!!!! i was bak there and i started worrying about whether you got it or not."
by this point we all start cracking up every time he leaves thinking he probably is just a poor hs kid that wants a tip.
but he keeps up the coming to our table every 2 minutes and everytime he asks something to anybody he directs it at me. hah oh jeez.
then i decide i want desert so i tell him i want a strawberry sundae but first im i ask how big it is and he assured me it as just like a scoop and that i could handle eating it. so tricia orders her parfait and we think hes gonna walk away after her writes it down so i start talking about when juliet coes home and he interrupts me and goes
"so, where you do you go school?"
(and it went like this)
me: umm...davidson. well actually i graduated in january
him:you graduated??? thats so coool
me: yep. im actually a genius
tricia: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? YOU???? A GENIUS????
him: im just a junior.
me: hm. that stinks, you still have forever to go
(then mom, being the nice person she is..)
mom: well dont worry youre actaully almost done
him: this is like the hardest year of my life!!! i have three tests tomorrow can you believe that??? by the way whwere are you going for college?
(at this point i think its strange that he is still standing here talking to me when he should be working..and his voice is so loud its carrying and people are staring at us)
me: im not really sure
him: oh yeah? well hey, ill get your dessert
so he's gone for a little bit and everytime he walks by our table he points at me and sys dont worry its coming with a big goofy smile...and i just laugh at the weirdness.
then he comes back with my sundae that he said was little and its like two feet tall...seirously so i make him feel bad by going on at how huge it is. and he goes 'i dont know...it wasn't 2 scoops when i got it, they must really like you' and it sounded SO awkward. haha it takes a very secure person to say stuff like that infront of my mom and sister!! so tricia said i turned red...and at first i was like thats weird im not a blusher but then i rethought of the situation and i was like um okay that was worthy of it cause it was so strange sounding.
so i ask for a bowl to scoop some of the icecream off and he comes back and im trying to do it without spilling everything and he just stands and watches and reaches over mom to ask if i need any help. i said no and he told tricia that he would go get hers in a second.
THEN (try to keep paying attention, i know its long) he came back and said "theres a problem...you see, the guy who makes the shakes doesn't exactly speak english and my spanish isn't that great so i have to get a manager to translate but i promise it wont be long.." and we all (especially tricia) start cracking up..then we hear him go in the kitchen and say
"ummm...parfait-o? el ...la...parfait!?!"
hahah
so he comes back and then walks up to mom cause she didt order dessert and said that he made this kid size milkshakes on accident and asked her if she wanted one while she waited..which was nice of him.
then we're sliding out to leave and he said and i quote....
"hey thanks for coming guys!!!! just let me know if you want to come again!!!"
and
i
lost
it.
i almost peed my pants.... lol thats like something you say when you drop your friend off after going somewhere together.
so he realized thats a stupid thing to say so he added "i mean...not that you know me...but....uhh..." and he was embarassd which made it even better.
i hope you guys can picture this and at least smile a little bit because it was the funniest day of my life..even a guy a few booths over looked at us and started cracking up.
i told tricia that next time i'll wear makeup and straighten my hair and maybe we'll get free meal :)
good times good times.

What's another word for Thesaurus?

i found the person i want to be like when i grow up! i actually have a list of like nine, (martha stewart, white-oprah....) but i think Jessica Weiner makes the top for sureee.
shes a self esteem expert or something and i saw her on the tyra banks show a few times but now shes teamed up with Seventeen and writes a letter in it every month for their Body Peace Treaty. not even kidding, i tear it out and put it in a binder every time. (not because its something i need to hear, but i think she writes things so everyone can understand it and apply it to other things in their life, not just weight)
i'll make this part short cause i know my attention span is like a goldfish too, but she said
"A lot of the times we're stuck with a differet kind of noise playing over and over in our head. it's a negative voice telling you that you arne't pretty or thin enough. somtimes it can be so powerful that it makes you think youre unworthy or you can't do anything right. And slowly over time that negative song is all you can hear, maybe it has become such a regular part of your life, like the backround music at the mall, that you don't even realize it's there-nagging you with the thought that if you looked better, your life would be better. that's how destructive the voice can be."
then she goes on to say that everyone needs to change their inner soundtrack, and stuff. i seriously love her.
but anyways i thought i would share..

ive been sitting here for about 12 minutes...literally just thinking about what else to write and ive got nothing, but im going to go clean my room (its a never ending process) and maybe ill find something that will inspire me to write a novel.
oh and chels ill probably forget to tell you this on the phone, but chris, steve, trevor, jace, and whoever else went on their mish at the same time all came back last sunday. (for the record, i was right about trevor!) and emily left for the mtc this week. incase you care.

Sing it, Aretha.

After I got home today I decided I wasn’t going to write about work because nothing happened. They told me I could leave 3 hours before my shift was even over. I hope they were serious when they said I would get more hours in march..cause this is sort of lame.
I looked dang good though. Haha Im such a trendy person, what can I say??
I went in at 10 and took all the Nautica shirts and put them on display so I had to sort thru well over 200 just to pull them out…and marshalls does all their own packaging so the wrappers come off CONSTNATLY its just a big mess but my stand looked amazing, I wanted to take a picture . then I sorted the sale stuff…did you know that Donald trumps shirts are regular $50 but I could hook you up with one for $8. That’s crazy. Same with his ties, they come in this really cool case that has his name on them (uh in case you wanna put your tie on display?) but still. I think its neat.
Then I sorted thru clearance toys ..seriously NOBODY was coming in..i think they were all at walmart cause they said it was supposed to snow a lot tonight. So then aly asked if I wanted to go home and I was tempted to say no I’ll stay for the hours. But I was doing nothing. And couldn’t fake productiveness anymore so I left at 2.
Then I came home and slept from 330-615. How sick is that?? Now its 1030 and im wired. Lame.
Hmm what else could I say?...
Im reading a book right now called Izzy Willy-Nilly. Im a big believer in judging a book by its cover. And this one definitely has a lame cover, but I accept book recommendations so im giving it a try.
Okay Im starting to bore myself now.
Adios tacos.
oh and the subject line is because i turn 18 in less than a month..and you know how she sings that song Think where she goes freeedommmmm blahblal
well. i thought it was creative. :)

Changing my name to pansy pants

so picture this...its 930, im thinking i should get out of bed because im just chillen, i go to sit up and feel a tug in my lowerback. but i keep on keepin' on...Next, my leg swing over the bed and like a magnet my otherone goes with it. not so i'll be quick and efficient but becuase of the pain that came from them being more than 4 inches apart.
everything hurts and its pathetic.
usually when i go to the mall i complain that my back hurts from walkingand i always say im falling apart at the age of 17 but i have never been to the mall for 8 hours straight picking up toys and hats off the floor.
its crazy. i feel like i should be so ashamed that it should motivate me to go run. or join a gym. or at least get some more exercise than walking from my room to the kitchen. but then i got over those ideas haha.
i'll let work be my exercise. maybe someday i'll be so limber my muscles will just be used to it.

I have officially walked a mile in EVERYONES shoes.

...or at least it feels like it, my feet are killing yo.
i had high hopes of this being a crazy interesting blog since i started work today, it wont be but oh well. at least im writing..right marcie?? :)
so it started like this.
im working with a girl named alyssa but she goes by aly. so everyone has taken it upon themselves to call me that too. i gues i dont mind, i almost like it better than alyssa..because that to me sounds like i should be drinking tea with my pinky out somewhere. the old people called me aly...but that was because they were calling me alisha (not alicia...but where it rhymes with wish) every other time.
she taught me how to hang socks on a rack. it was an intellecutal experience to say the least. hah no seirously it was hard, every brand in the world makes socks.
i restocked stuff for most of the time.
i think i must have a really convincing i-know-what-i'm-doing-face because at least 1000 people asked me a question and the only one i could answer confidently was where the potties were located. no lie. the other timei was like hmm i hven't seen any leather jackets, idk if it doesnt have a price tag then im just as lost as you, i can point to someone who might know, uhh the best i can do is help you look (which really means just looking in the same place they did, knowing youre not going to find it and then periodically sighing and moving something to the side to make it look like youre trying until they finally decide they didnt want that size anyway)
i have a lot of respect for people who work in stores though...everyoone has done that thing where they pick something up and walk around but decide they dont want it so they set it on the closest flat surface. i am here saying STOP DOING THAT...especially people with children...i found more toddler clothes in the mens underwear aisle than anywhere else. holy smack.
i spent over an hour making the mens section looking amazing only to go pee and come back to see a bunch of teenagers messed it up again. you know how people look at jeans but then just throw them over the rack? just. say. no.
it isnt that hard to fold it and put it bck on the hanger, there are even those handly little clips so it stays in place!!!
oh and is it really necessary to open underwear packets? theres a picture on the outside!
but seriously i had a good time. i really like the people there and i feel like im constantly doign something productive. it still looked messy when i left but they called my name and was like will you please come clock out now? and then we all group toether and tell eachother what a swell job they did.
im such a complainer. hah i like it though (the job). my next day is monday 10-5. while all the hooligans are at school :)
time for me to sleeep
peace out cub scouts.

Part 2

what a way to make a livin..

i have something to say!!
and so does marcie if she doesn't chicken out.
im pretty much frustrated that everyone and their monkeys uncle complain about me never blogging welll look around you folks...looks like YOURE the ones who have stopped. Don't say your life is boring and you dont have anything to write about bc rust me you life could not be as boring as the life of someone who checks these things every few hours. not that that is me or anything........

anywho, i start actual work today! 2-10. i wish it was 9-5, i've had that dolly parton song stuck in my head since chelsee lived with us and sang it every 3 minutes. hopefully im not retarded at learning, its been a while since i was in school so ya never know.
i'll blog about it when i get home.
and you should watch this one, because yes, ladies and gentleman the lion king IS coming to columbus :) be jealous.

happy easter!!!

want to hear something comical?
i was reading my posts from a while ago and t here was a question that said what are you most paranoid about?
and i said peeing my pants in public and getting a girl guide dog.
haha oh welll :)

Wednesday, February 6, 2008

three in 2 days you guys are luckkkyy



this is our new puppy!!!!! shes so prettty, looks crazy close to hobbit. obviiously. this makes me like 8947623 times more exicted even if im not a huge fan of the name :)

im sure dad will blog all about it, but he said he loovveesss her and that shes a really happy dog but he has to work on the jumping and face liking.

im SO excited!!!

<3>

enrico?

WE GET TO KNOW THE PUPPYS NAME TODAY!!!!!!!!!
i've been waiting for this day my whole life. you guys are probably gonna complain about this post cause i dont think youll care as much as i do but oh welll.
i do NOT want it to be a girl, and i do NOT want it to have a real persons name...i have reoccuring nightmares of yellig NO PRISCILLA!!!!!! or something even worse. Dad says if thedogs name is skylar than he wont change it haha how weird would that be cuase skylar is generally a boys name...but yelling my best friends name followed by 'it's time to go whiz!' would sound a little creepy to me.
im addicted to reading the names of the dogs that have graduated recently so i'll let you guys know a few, so i can do something while i wait.
some of the ones from january were JAnie, Hamlin, Lava, Isis, Nira, Mork, Seagar, Rufus, and my personal fav enrico!!! haha whot he smack names a dog enrico?!
the positive thing about that is all the other months there would only be 1 that didnt have a human name...and the jan. group only had 2ish.
im thinking i'm going to utah soon and i dont want to narrow the potential marriage pool just because my dog has the same name as someone!!!! (i'm half way kidding)
but yeah, im crossing my fingers that its odie, or pete, and nimanuuu, or geekeybokeykey (right fay??)

the JAY OH BEE

i have this weird habit of every time i go for orientation (yeah, the whole 2 times ive done this) i always expect there to be millions of people, at heisinger i thought there would be like 20 people my age that id never seeen..instead there were 3..two over the age of 25 and one girl i hated at the beginning that ended up being one of my really goood friends. anyways.
i thought there would be like 5 people at marshalls but it was just me and my supervisor. awkward? yes. its like having a church lesson where youre the ony one and you pray taht they'll combine you but the leaders dont have espn..so youre left making eyecontact the w hole time and hving to respond to everything.
it wasn't horrible though, only 2 1/2 hours of filling out tax papers and going over what to do if someone steals....did you know youre not supposed to do anything? i think that would be the hardest thing, but apparenty a few hours away at another marshalls a worker sort of chased someone out of the store for stealing and the theifs get away car ran them over. crazy. so instead im supposed to go up to them and say
" HIIII my names alyssa!!!!! can i help you find anything???? [then they'll say no, so i'll say:] ohhh okay! well i'll be standing right here in case you need help!!!!!!!"
not even kidding. i got some card i can put in my pocket that says that on it just so i remember every word! haha strange.
i met one of my area managers (she doesnt have a TON of authority, but when im working in lingerie or misses and i make a mess she can get me in a looottt of trouble) her names christine and i think shes hilarious, so hopefully she'll be good to work with. she had no problem admitting how anal she was about her section though, and said all the other area managers learned from her. it should be some gooood times.
i have realllllly weird hours right now becuase 'february is a slow retail month.' umm okay? and they are staring me in Big and Tall...ive heard of that before but i dont thik ive ever really seen it. the jeans were as tall as me. seriously.

i had to get a physical today, so i could get my work perimt. at first i thought it was really worth going, it was like compliment central! haha my doctor was like you have such good skin and youre soooo skinny. but then she hit me with the killer:
i needed to get a shot.
and yes, chelsee i remember the shots we needed before going to school in jeff and how we freaked out. it was basically the same scene but i was alone in trying to convince the nurse that i couldnt get my jacket on cause my arm hurt too bad. :) oh jeez.
good times good times.

yeah now try and say i dont post! haters. before i thought it would be boring just to get on here and say that i watched videos on youtube all day but now ive decided that i think a lot during the day. (go ahead and laugh at how plain that sounded) but its troo. im a hidden genius
