Randomness, in bullet-points because I'm tired
Things that suck:
- My rent is now $30 more per month.
- I owe about $265 worth of taxes, even though I don't make very much money.
- I am pretty exhausted. I hate closing and then opening. And then closing the next day and opening the next morning (=Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday for me this week).
- I have to change grease tomorrow morning. It's gonna be gross.
- I might have to borrow money from someone just in order to get by. Or else ask my grandfather for money, which would be awkward and embarrassing, especially since he's so deaf and I'd have to ask him about six times.
- I haven't really noticed much progress with my vague kind-of-diet (one soda/unhealthy drink per day, dessert three times a week, and I try to eat more vegetables and not as much meat).
- I can't talk to my manager about my financial situation because she's out for a whole month recovering from surgery.
- My apartment is a wreck and I need to get it cleaned up before Shannon moves in.
- Yesterday was one of the longest days I've had in quite a while (almost twelve hours on my feet without a break). I felt completely wrung out by the time I got home.
- Amazingly, I have NOT won anything in the Subway Fresh Resolutions instant win game. How unfair is that?
- My pastors are moving to Texas to be closer to their family. I completely understand their reasons, but it still sucks for those of us who are left here.
- I had to tell the new lesbian at work that we can't be friends because I'm an assistant manager and she's a crew member. She didn't really get that whole fraternization concept, apparently. And she's pretty clueless about GLBT history, culture, and politics. AND she's getting ready to go into the Coast Guard. Because we all know how much Uncle Sam loves gay people.
Things that don't suck:
- I got a package from Sarah today with two CDs in it. Yay!
- I'm supposed to have dinner with a couple I know from church tomorrow night.
- And lunch with Shannon on Sunday.
- And coffee with Mrs. W. next week.
- LAUNCHcast is possibly the coolest thing ever and I am so addicted. Seriously. I sit at my computer for hours playing solitaire or doing something equally useless while I rate songs (and comedy) obssessively. Right now, for example, the fabulous entity that is LAUNCHcast is playing Seasons of Love from the original cast recording of Rent. Right after John Mayer. Right after Tom Lehrer. It just doesn't get much better than that.
- Apparently I know several people who would be willing to loan me money. I don't know if I will need to accept any gifts or loans, but it's nice that people care enough to be willing to loan me money.
- I have the best girlfriend ever in the history of the world. Really. She is cute and funny and smart and witty and knowledgeable and cool and fun and brave and just generally awesome.
- I have DSL now. It rocks my world.
- I finally blogged, so Sarah will have to stop nagging me for at least a day or two. Plus my entry was at least twice as long as hers. Ha!
- (kidding)
- (mostly, anyway)
