I hope my computer doesn't crash while I'm writing this...it feels like i have a lot to say. Let me start at the beginning. I've been having a lot of sleeping problems since I've been out of school. It used to be that I coudln't fall asleep, but now that I can fall asleep, I can't stay asleep. On average, I wake up about 3-4 times a night, which is very annoying! Plus, I wake up with headaches from all these dreams I have; it's kinda like information overload. Last night my dreams included my neighbor's house getting trashed and Sharron Osbourne investigating who did it (I think she was questioning my mom or someone) and I also dreamt that I was smoking. It was doubly wierd because in the dream my throat got all dry and itchy from the smoke (and yet I kept on smoking more cigarretts?) and I woke up and my throat actually did hurt. I feel like I'm just sick enough where I can still function, but where I am becoming sluggish and aggitated. Plus, my wisdom teeth are coming in, so the one side of my mouth hurts like a bitch. As you could guess, that didn't make for a very pleasant day at work. I had to work a suicide shift, and today it literally was one. Besides a brief lunch rush (which was rather weak) the whole day was slowest I've ever seen it. Don't get me wrong, I actually like not beiing swamped, but when you have nothing to do the time goes by much, much slower! Plus, it seems like everyone there is getting on my nerves. The one waitress is kinda bitchy in general. One of the manager's is annoying. He's a good guy and everything, but he tries to strike up awkward conversations with me, in which I feel obligied to pretend to laugh and pay attention. What really gets to me is just how this one guys points out every little mistake that I make or could make. I see how I do mess up, but I get so pissed off at him telling me every five minutes that "hey, when you do this..." or "you're not supposed to do that" or "dude, what are you doing?" Some things are okay, like the time I accidentally left the gas on. Okay, that was bad, but other things it's just like cooks have their own ways of doing things and he just wants me to do it all his way. It's annoying! Then today, one of the waitresses (who I actually think is nice) was talking on the phone and didn't hear me call out her table order. Hmm, I wonder why? So when the people finally got their food, the fries were cold. Then, I forgot to put cheese on this one nasty bitches special, so I guess the manager got to hear her bitch about it. For the meantime, I'm bottling it all inside, pretending to act indifferent when really I'm getting pretty pissed. Enough of the bad stuff. Jami and Amanda stopped by today, and that made my day at work! Today they were supposed to kidnap me but I accidentally requested the wrong day off, so we just hung out after work. They showed up with andre and jill...and they had graduation gifts for me. Amanda got me this storage drawer with a bunch of college stuff (definitely well thought out), and Jami got me an organizer/binder thing with a bunch of school supplies. Very thoughtful of both of them. Then they "kidnapped" me to the beach. We went swimming in freezing cold water, then we tried to get into Captain Jack's Bar & Grill but found out we had to be 21 just to get on the deck. So we ended up going to Henry Street Grill (or whatever it's now called) to fulfill our late-night munchies. And I'm spent. Tomorrow i have to get up extra early because the only time I can get to mass it as 9am ( I don't think I've been to a 9 am mass ever in the past 4 years). Seven hours until mass time...
