So I haven't posted in a little while. Frankly, life has been pretty good lately and I guess when things are really good I don't think of writing as much. So here are some observations from the last few days.
- a 13 hour workday with no break is no fun. Seriously I didn't get a chance to sit down for the entire THIRTEEN hours because it was so busy, including spending a half hour with this dumb stupid lady who didn't know how much was left on her flex card and got rid of one item at a time until her credit card would go through (it turned out she had about 23 dollars on it when her first total was $300. It takes a while to go from 300 to 23 dollars one item at a time while trying the card after gettig rid of each item)
-last night me and (e:libertad) went to Essex St. Pub and they were having their first ever karaoke night. It just doesn't seem like a place that would have karaoke night to me. Needless to say noone but the bartender did karaoke but we left very early so maybe it picked up after that.
-for those of you over 65 you only have 12 more days to sign up for Medicare Part D and avoid any penalty. You won't be able to sign up again til november if you miss the deadline. I'm a little excited because that means at least 5 months of not needing to deal with Medicare.
-This weekend is the weekend of a million things, Confetti( the movie me and (e:jill) have been dying to see) opens, Jen and her b/f who is on leave from Iraq are in town, it is Michelle at works going away party, cinco de mayo, and now I see it is (e:jenks) bday too. I believe some other stuff is this weekend too. Why does eveyrthing always happne this way, all at once!
-note to self: post next journal about former school mates attitude of "the city" and how scary buffalo is

Thanks for the call, the drawing, and of course all of the updated gossip. What more could a girl ask for in the first minutes of her b-day?!

I Guess My Brother Wasn't So BadSo you may have all heard me talk about what a terror my brother ((e:paul)) was to me when I was young. For example knowing I was terrified of breaking contracts (yeah what like 5 year old thinks like that, I was a weirdo) but anywho convinced me to sign one that later involved me preteniding to be a dog in Wi;lson Farms. He would make me clean his room for a drawing of his or a pretzel cuz I couldn't reach the top of the fridge. And don't even get me started on chicken soup. Yet this is not what I was here to write about. My brother actually was a pretty good person.
My mom reminded me the other day when my little cousin was talking about nightmares that I used to have nightmares all the time when I was little and could never sleep. So my brother made me a dream hat that had all these drawings of good thoughts and my favorite tihngs on it. I kept it on my bed and it gave me good thoughts and I was able to sleep. So I guess my brother isn't so bad after all.
The weird thing is I have no idea where this dream hat is. And I have been having nightmares lately and wouldn't mind having it again. I have never gotten rid of anything in my life....i would hav enever gotten rid of the dream hat...so where is it?

He did kinda torture you. My favorite is the time we cut your fro down because it was so out of control and made you look like a dork.

Jenny's Bday and Life DiningSo today was one my best friend's Jen's 23rd birthday and so we were going out for dinner and decided to Dine out for life. I guess these restauarants donate money to some aids organization. We went to JP Bullbeathers and they donate 30% of your dinner cost to the charity. I think that is pretty cool. Me and my friend's birthdays have become so tame and less flashy and crazy from what they once were. I hope to revive the crazy old past wild days with my birthday in August. I better start planning now!!
Sidenote: i am losing my patience at work and am starting to be mean to customers> I told a lady all her problems were her fault basically and that she could take her prescriptons elsewhere and would still vahe the same problems. This would be ok in itself if Michele wasn't coming back and wasn't taking back her servicer stars which people have totally noticed how many i have and will notice when i lose them. And with the being mean..uh oh...what if i am no longer evyerone's favorite...i can't handle that.

I heard something the other day but can't quite remeber where I heard it to do a godd job referencing it. It's called the Monday Morining test and it has alot to do with job satisfaction and goes like this:
Go home this weekend, have some fun, hang with your family, enjoy yourself. When you wake up Monday morning ask yourself do I want to go to work. If the answer is no you probably don't enjoy what you do and should make arrangements to move on to something new or different. Sure, you may ask, who wants to go to work? Well, I'll tell you - it's the people who love what they do.

The 2nd beers free were nice. The Karaoke? I'm glad no one else sang. Seems like I would definitely go again seeing as its so close. Completely tanked older men who can't stand a bit of a turn off. Bartender a plus.
Hey Mike! Karaoke at Essex? No, that's not right!
