Ok, I think i am getting sick of giving so much to stupid Eckerd and feeling no appreciation in return. I work so much and do so much for them and never get anything back. Ok, yes, maybe i get paid more than some of the other people but not by much and I never get any perks for all the extra I do. I can never get time off when i want it. I ended up going in twice during a three day vacation I treid to take because peopel called in and they needed someone. Then on Monday I put in a like 13.5 hour day (830am to 10pm) because it was inventory the next day and we were so not ready. But i can't actually work any overtime anymore cuz coprportae is clmaping down on like wages so they had to cut the extra hours out from soemwhere else, so i asked if i could not come in on Friday since i am working only 5 hrs that day but my boss said no. Instead she like took two hours off of thrudsy, an hour of off tomorow and like an hour off of Friday. That won't feel like anything! How stupid! THe other pharmacist even tried to get her to let me but she woulnd't! I also have so much vacation i have to take soon. And now even wsooner because one girl is going to be on materntiy leave by like mid to late november. Yet there is no time to take because we are short on people. I am just gonna have to be like dude i am tkaing this vacation if you like it or not. I relaly would like to get oct 21-30 off and then i would still need like another 12 hours to take some other time. But at least that owuld take care of most of it. They want me to take like a day here or there but it is not going to happen cuz i will die soon if i don't get more of a breka from that place!! GRRR!!

Me, (e:jill) and Yosepha went to see Just Like Heaven tonight. It is the movie where she is a ghost and he moves into her apartment and the girl is Reese Witherspoon and the guy is Mark Ruffalo. Anyway, I thought it was pretty good, but I am always a sucker for sappy romantic comedyesque movies. It also made me a little nervous though. What if something happens to me, like I could totally get in a car accident or get some disease and I die young and never really fell in love or had a relationship. And what if I am not lucky enough to have a ghost come and haunt me and fall in love with me. Then waht? I don't know why it is affecting me so much but really I am getting nervous that like I will die and not do all these things I want to do. That's it, it's time to get out there and get some stuff done before it's too late!

As you all may know, I was like a DARE posterchild in my day. LIke literally. I got to perform my anti-drunk driving skit at health fairs and stuff and I got to do readings of my What DARE Means to Me Speech at DARE graduation. So going through my old school stuff I found my DARE workbook from fifth grade which included all the DARE awards I won and the essays I wrote for DARE. Anyway I realized what one DARE skill I have done terribly wrong. I may know 30,000 ways to say NO to DRUGS but I had forgotten the number one rule: stay away from people doing drugs, don't associate with situations where you may be tempted. Hmm I think that would mean I would have to drop all my friends and certainly just about all the (e:strip)pers. Hmm I think I am around people doing a drug almost 100% of the time. Sooooo needless to say I guess I am not the DARE superstar I always claimed to be. How sad!

Me and (e:amanda) were discussing how clueless we are about STD's at lunch today.(P.S. Super Veggies from the Juicery are super tasty!) Are some for life? Well I know like AIDS and herpes are for life but are other ones? OR are they curable? And either way, we think we are still a little leary of anyone that has had even a curable one? Right, we should be, right?

So going thorugh my old school papers and stuff I found a journal entry from February 28, 1990 (i think 1990, i was in 2nd grade)

Today is Erin and Melissa's birthday. Erin and Melissa both got a magic nursery baby for their birthday. typeHeretypeHereLast night the war ended. I'm very gald. Last night I went to cub scouts. Tomorow is half a day. ON Saturday my brother will have a sleep out for the homeless. On Sunday is the spaghetti for my brother's scouts. Happy Birthday Erin!


Haha, the end of the war got second billing to magic nursery baby. And was quietly slipped in between birthdays and half-days. I guess it is not so different now as I have pretty much avoided anything about Iraq and instead talk about celebrities and drinking. Maybe my priorities are a little out of whack!
