Bad Day.

Yesterday was just one of those days. One of the ones where everything seems to go wrong. One of the ones where you have to clean up nasty stuff at work. Yesterday at work was terrible. I'm going to say it in the least disgusting way I can: I had to clean up little kid vomit.

Sure, a lot of jobs deal with gross situations all the time. Doctors and nurses probably do daily. But do they make minimum wage? Probably not. So when my super obnoxious co-worker walks over and says "Some lady came and said some little kid got sick in theater four (I work at a movie theatre)" I said "Ok I'll get it but someone will have to come hold the flashlight since the movie is still going on". And very rudely she replied "Yeah right. Have fun with that." That girl is so snotty, it really bugs me. Anyways, I didn't really mind cleaning the mess up since I was the designated usher for the night. But we're supposed to be a team. We're supposed to work together.

I go up to the manager's office and tell them about it. One of the managers (who is really mean all the time) was less than helpful. The other two felt bad and said they would help but never really did. So when the movie was over (we couldn't find the mess during the movie) I was stuck cleaning it up alone.

My not-so-nice boss never really gave me any directions, so I was just kind of winging it. The mop and bucket we have at my work is extremely heavy, and my boss never said to use it, so I tried it without it at first. It didn't go so well. About twenty minutes later, one of the only co-workers who is helpful at all offers to bring the mop over and helps me since I was almost in tears. The whole cleaning up vomit thing didn't even really bother me at all, I'm just so sick of dealing with the rude people at my work. I was so close to just walking out and making them clean it up themselves. But I didn't because I figured that wouldn't be the right thing to do. I'm still debating on what to do about my job, because I don't really like it but I need the money.

Just another fun thing I've had to deal with lately.

Class notables

So the time of the year has come where most senior high school students are choosing colleges, buying prom dresses, and voting on class notables. My class just found out the results of our "elected" (reasons on why that's in quotations to come) notables today. And I can honestly say that it amazes me how incredibly immature and irritating people can still be. We voted about two weeks ago on who we thought should win each category and handed our ballots in. Well it turns out that apparently the kids who were tallying the ballots were cheating. That is so typical. Popular snotty girls getting their way as usual. The thing that really gets me though is one of the girls actually posted on Facebook that they were getting the last say on who would win, which caused quite an uproar. Personally I found the whole situation just ridiculous. People get too worked up over this type of thing and the fact that people cheated made it even more crazy. Why can't you just let whoever is supposed to win, win? Why ruin it? This is one of the reasons I didn't buy a yearbook, because I'm hoping to move on from this type of thing when I graduate. Although I hear people are the same no matter what age you are...

Reasons for my absense...

So I realized it's been weeks since my last post, which makes me feel bad that I haven't been keeping up with this. Everything has just been CRAZY for me. All I do it seems is work, school, work, school, etc. I never have time for any downtime anymore, and I've realized I'm just going to have to make time for myself in order to survive. The past few weeks I've figured out a few things even though I've been super busy. I'm about 99.9% sure where I'm going to college (finally!) and I've narrowed down my list of majors to about two. It seems I finally have some type of solid plan going on, which makes me feel a little more secure. I'm also working on getting my license (seems like I'm one of the only ones who doesn't have it). Hopefully I'll get it soon. I feel loser-ish for not having it yet...oh well I guess. I'll get it at some point.

Anyways, my four or five followers (yay I actually have people following my blog!) can look forward to me posting more. I promise I'll try to keep up with this even though I'm busy. Forgive me for my absense?
