Happy new year to everyone. :) hehe, i just figured out who ohmyogditsgeo is...hello jai! i miss you oh so much. For those of you who don't know, jai is my old assistant manager who recently   :( moved to Washington state.

Things have been alright. At the moment i'm attempting to sign up for spring classes...talk about leaving it to the last minute. So far i've got my health class (which is non-credit) that is the pre-requiste for the massage therapy courses that i want to take. I would love to take an english course, but i'm still waiting for my ap scores to find their way to PBCC, because as much as i love english, there's no way i'm paying to take english comp 1 again :(. And without engcomp1, i can't take a ton of other courses because it's a pre-requiste.

I haven't given Miquel(my manager) my new availability yet, and he's not going to be too happy about it.  I'm trying to make all of my classes fall on monday and wednesday, so i can just as for those days off. Otherwise it just becomes a big jumble of hours.

I'm still not an offical shift manager, but i'm working the hours and handleing the money. I talked to miguel about the pay increase i'm supposed to be getting, but i can't get that until i'm certified, which can't happen until my background check goes through. I've filled out 3 background checks so far...the first he lost, although he says i lost it, which is a big fat lie :), the second and third apparently got faxed to the wrong number...hey, my SSN was on those things...maybe i should look into that.  And he still hasn't given me the fourth one to fill out.  But he says i'll be paid retroactively, which is very good.

My debit card was reported lost by the cashier at racetrac last week.  I hadn't even realised that i'd been missing it until i got a message from my bank telling me that the card was canceled because it was reported lost. So i've been just spending my tip cash, which is actually a very good thing for me since i always end up spending way more than i'd intended when i have my debit card.

Oh, funny story, my second night closing the store all by myself was horrible! Poor Rabi(he's one on the partners that usually closes) got stuck at the store with me until 12am when we were supposed to get out at 11pm because my alarm code wouldn't work and i couldn't get ahold of anyone either because they were out of town (which was all the other shift managers except simon and miquel, which made those few weeks hell) or they were sleeping on their cell phones, which made it impossible to hear when they were sleeping(miquel). eventually i called simon as a last resort because he was opening the next day(simon to the rescue!)

Today wasn't the best either. Oh what a dousey(how do you spell that word?)! First of all, i woke up late, which was partly my fault, but mostly david's since he kept me up most of the night, but i also kept hitting the snooze button andi guess i must have hit the wrong button that last time 'cause i didn't wake up till 7:50 and i was supposed to be at work at 7:45.  argg, i hate being late. Must be a feeling ingrained in my from marchingband :) anyways, to continue, the morning was alright once i got to work except that i was still very tired. But adam was there (yay, adam andai and zach are back from their ill timed vacations) and so was simon, so it was a rockstar team. (rockstar- a hillary(my old manager) term that apparently all of starbucks is fond of using...it's kind of cheesy at first, but i guess it grows on you). Things were going well until aindai called. Aindai has two dogs, aher old dog and a new puppy, and apparently while driving around in her jeep, the old dog jumped out the back of her jeep, which wouldn't be so horible excpet that he was wearing his leash. So he got dragged a few feet and when aindai was pulling over she accidently ran over the dog's foot. and then once she pulled over the puppy started attacking the dog. Crazy story, but thankfully he dog's alright. But, needless to say aindai wasn't sure she'd be able to get to work because she was so freaked. We tried to get zach to cover for her, but we couldn't reach him, so i volenteered to take her shift on top of mine if zach didn't call back. Well, no word from zach and 2pm tommy was supposed to show up and adam leave, leaving me with stacy(let's just say she's not the sharpest crayon in the box) but tommy doesn't show up and still two hours later he's not there and we can't get ahold of him. Finally his dad calls us and says that tommy thought he had today off and had spent the night at a friends house. Someone gets ahold of tommy and tommy calls rabi and asks him to come in early.  Aindai and Rabi arrive and poor adam can finaly leave.  I count out and yay! i don't have to close :). So that was my tiresome day. 

Hehe, david looks sooo cute when he sleeps...

I've started walking(hopefully) regularly. I need to loose weight. I didn't like how i looked in highschool, and now i look even worse, so i felt it was time to do something. i figure if i try to walk every day and just cut out the snacks (that i mostly just eat when i'm bored anyways), that that would be a good start...i hope. I didn't want to try anything drastic because it's hard to make and keep big changes. I'm hoping that the little , gradual changes will be easier for me to keep up with.

I think i should stop now and get back to trying to find some classes to sing up for. Later!
