Life or Something Like it

I am about to go to work soon and truthfully I do not want to go, I am really tired. I did a lot around the house today because this weekend and next week we are having company. It is going to be a huge pain in the butt to do stuff around the house this week because I don't have two days off together which when you are on midnights is like not having a day off at all.

I am hoping to go to the used bookstore tomorrow to trade in some books and get some new ones. Its funny because I told my sister I was going to go there and she asked if I ran out of books to read and I said, no, not really. I just enjoy going to the used bookstore, browsing and buying new books. Its fun for me. I know I am sad.

I went through a really bad time last week, me and Darryl got into a huge fight and for the rest of the week I was constantly crying at the drop of a hat. This job is really affecting me because I never get to go do stuff because I am constantly having to go sleep or pace myself so that I wont use all my energy needed for work and I never get to see Darryl. Everyday I am either just waking up or about to go to bed, so I am cranky and not nice to live with. Everything seems to be a bit better this week, I just have to look for a new job and until then look to happier times when I find said job.

I am reading this book right now that I am so into and really enjoying. I read it before I went to bed tonight and I found myself thinking I was one of the characters in the book having to deal with the asshole characters and I woke up to me clenching my teeth because I was having an argument with one of the guys..lol.

I have to finish getting ready for work, ciao!

Hmm...apparantly blogger doesn't want me to put a title in today so c'est la vie. Hello old friend, long time no speak. I have been really busy with my new job and when I originally didn't want to jinx it by talking about it ( I know I am superstitious) I now realise it sucks so you can't ruin something that already blows. It is really interesting where I am working but I have to work the grave shift, which isn't bad and I know I am the newbie so I have to do it but, I work every weekend. I kind of expected to work everyone but one a month which would be okay, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out I have to work every one and never get one off. Some people when I tell them this say well you are new but once you put in some time maybe you will be able to get more off, umm no such luck, people that have been there since it opened work every weekend and even if you request one off you wont get it. One of the guys I work with, his parents are throwing him a HUGE birthday party on his birthday which is a Saturday and he wont get it off. Personally I think they should give everyone one off a month because if you don't you are just asking for people to call in sick and them leave you screwed.

Some things I have learned from working there:

- apparantly clipping a wig on at the front of your head, wearing extravagant clothes that are drapped over you and hanging everywhere and having a bandage on your hand, makes everyone else the freak

- old people think they have the right to do whatever they want

- when people lose they forget any manners they may have had

- people are less likely to tip when they win big

- leaning on the counter doesn't mix well with a belly button ring

- you can park a trailer in a casino parking lot and live there

I have learned so much more but I fear that it is inappropriate and may be taken the wrong way by passing readers so I will leave it at that.

I pretty much have had no life since I have worked there which has sucked but we have spent less money and got to save up for future bills and for the wedding.

Darryl and I have been looking at a lot of halls lately trying to figure out which one would be perfect for our wedding, unfortunately every single one has a negative side to it and a positive that they other halls may not have and vise versa making the choice really difficult. We have to book one this fall if I want to get the date I want so we have very little time left to make the decision.

We are having a UFC party tonight, I want to see the fights and I am so stoked about seeing my baby Tito fight but I am feeling very anti-social and really don't want to hang out with the random 'bitches' that some of the guys are bringing. I hate that because I am a woman I am expected to talk to other women, I really should get a shirt that says, does not play well with others because thats how I feel today.

Have a great weekend all! Enjoy it because remember, I will be working, so have a beer for me!
