Wow. What a busy month. Holiday season at all. Between retail and the food service, work has been ubelievably busy, especially the last few days. Tonight was amazingly hectic, I was ambushed from the moment I walked in. Was in photo tonight at Shopko. Some lady deposited 3 memory sticks from her digital camera, and asked for one photo copy of every picture. Guess how many pictures! Go on, guess! 60? 80? 100? Wrong! Sixhundred-sixty photos! Argh! At $0.29 a reprint that’s $191.40! Jebus! They were printing the entire night, and were still printing as I clocked off, and even still as I continued to work 15 minutes after my clocking off. We were really backed up on “one hour photo,” needless to say. Kudos for the man who does that tomorrow.

Since we were so backed up, even with 2 people in H(ome)E(lectronics)/photo, I was forced to inform customers that one hour photo dropped off anytime that night would be done by noon the next day. Over 12 hours later. Think a few of them went over to wal*mart, lol.

Customers are crazy. I was never a customer either, I’ve just been training at miscellaneous jobs for the last 17 years. 😉

Life is good, I guess. Haven’t been sleeping much lately. It is really starting to catch up on me: I keep passing out. It’s almost winter break though, and for the first time since my vacation, I’ll sleep for more than 3-6 hours a night. Woohoo. Not that I can’t now, but I need time to relax after work, and a little to relax after school too. I’m not drone enough to go straight from school, to homework, to work, to homework, to school, and repeat 5 days a week, for many weeks to come.

I always complain about work or school. Oh well. I’m doing something about it now, at least. Three more shifts at the deuce, then I’m gone. Woohoo! Mary is getting worse, becoming a bitch. Should have heard her bitching at the cook last night. He screwed up an order on shrimp and cooked 3 extra ones. She was going on about how “if you’re going to cook so many god damn shrimp, we might as well just shut down the building and close the god damn doors! You don’t need fucking 9 shrimp, you get 6 god damn shrimp! How do you expect me to make any god damn money?!?” I dunno if those were the exact words or not, but it was similar, at any rate. “Lord” help me if I ever think about going back to work for her.

Thought about suicide the other day. Hah, that’s one great way to start a paragraph. Perhaps I should better explain: I was contemplating ways to get off work, and the only one that has no repercussion to me, was suicide. Sad when taking your own life is the only way to get a night off work during the holidays, huh? I’m not that desperate, and you’re not that lucky. 😉

I need a boyfriend. Or at least a fuck buddy. Haha. Someone to experiment with, someone to try new things with. Play around with a little. I’m at that age in my life and I see no sense in pretending I’m not, or denying it all together. No further word on Somsak yet, but it’s not looking good. Disapointing, cos he’s a real cutie and really nice, and I don’t know any other flamers or bi’s or anything who are good looking and have a good personality. Although for a f-buddy, the personality thing wouldn’t really matter too much, but it’s always wanted. Then again, Somsak is the only good looking bi (or gay…?) guy I know. Except for the fingernails. They’re not long, but their not short. I see that on a lot of asian guys, to be honest. Asian girls, too. Nails aren’t really my thing. Trimming them (even by bad habit of chewing them off, like I do), shows you atleast have enough care about your hygeine to do so (or just a really nervous/bored reaction…)

If I can’t find a boyfriend, there’s always women. Been keeping my eye open, in any case. Saw this amazingly beautiful girl at ShopKo tonight. Oh. My. God. She was perfect.

Got the Zen working with my PC now. Cool. Lovely little toy from Fozzy. Thanks again bud. 😀 Portable music roxxors my boxxors! 😉 Which is good, too, because like I stated before: no-one else is. 😦 😛

I really, really need to get those up. Just where is the time? Well, the answer is now and motivation. I need to get motivated now, to get to work now, instead of posting this now. Alas, I’m not currently motivated, so I will continue to blog.

Haven’t fixed my truck yet, really need to get that done. Need to buy a new computer too. Working on that, but the cash is just not there. Soon enough. When I move out, that social security income is going to greatly help. I have to pay back Rich $525, Russ $200, my mom $7. Assuming the computer will be $450 roughly, truck fixing will be $175, insurance another $130, mobile bill this month is $90, expected next month to be about $70, roughly $80/mo for school lunches, $200 for rent, and I have about $75 of Christmas shopping to do yet. That’s a grand total of $2002. Social security will cover $770 of it (roughly), and I expect to make about $600 from working, come January, as well as another $400 this month, I’m still in the hole about $232, assuming I had amazing self control and didn’t spend a single dollar on anything until Feb. The only reason I’m in debt at all, is because of my vacation. It was however, well worth it. Will never forget it, and that’s what matters. Money can be remade. And it will be remade, and next September, (behold one of my new year resolutions), I will have enough money to move to England, and survive until I can find a job, and start making money. I have to make it.

If all else fails, I’ll be stuck in Wausau until I graduate college, and then try to find a job. However, I’m impatient, and don’t feel like waiting, so I plan on skipping college for a while, or all together completely, who knows. Have to pass high school first. Argh.

All in all, I think it’s been a good year. I dated Abbie, and did a bunch of stuff with a girl, a good learning experience. I came out of the closet, a freeing experience. I dated someone 6000 miles and 6 time zones away, a pleasent, loving, and extremely difficult experience. I visited that person in their home country and toured parts of the world doing it, and unbelievably amazing experience. I broke up with that person, an unbearably painful experience. Started in retail work this year, a new and engaging experience. I’ve started and quitted smoking more times than I can count on one hand, an addictive experience. I’ve made the most money this year than I ever had before, and made a new, very good friend, a “rich” experience. There’s so many more, and so little time to think about it all and review it all. I could go on for hours yet, but by then, if you’re not already, you’d be bored and skim the rest of the post if not skip it all in all.

Therefore, I am tired, I haven’t done any homework yet tonight, but I’ve worked 5 hours and gone to school another 8. Let’s call it a day, and work my ass off tomorrow to try to get a start on getting caught up. It’s almost winter break, after all.

To all that read,
Stay Classy
Stay Tuned
Stay Frosty (haha 😛 )

And of course,
Cheers! 😀
