Yeah, I don't really have anything important to say today. So, I'm just going to give a little summary of my day.
Mother wakes me up at 8:30, when I had to be at work at 8:00. She thought I told her I had to work at 9:00. Silly mom. I don't really care. If they really needed me there on time, I'd have been fired years ago.
So, I go to work. Work was hell today. Just hell. I had to take out trash not once, but twice. Now, ordinarily I like taking out trash. It's a nicce break from dealing with customers and rushing and hurrying. But for some reason today, the trash was really, really raunchy. And then there were bags breaking open and spilling sick shit out and it was hot out and the freaking back door wouldn't stay open, so I'd have to walk all the way around the building just to get back in. Fucking door.
And that's not the worst of it. There is this golf tournament thingy going on across Maple from BK. So, everyone there comes to BK to eat. As a result we were busier than crap. Our lunch rush lasted from 10:00-3:00 I kid you not. The entire time I was running around, tripping over new, incompetent managers, and the mexicans REFUSED to make anything I called back, and it was just hell. And then at 1:00, half of our crew was off, and we were just as busy. Lucky me got to do order-taking, window, and I had to put together the orders. I had to do three people's work while 4 people worked on fornt counter only! And front counter wasn't all that busy at the time. I was seriously flipping out. Add to that the fact that I still hadn't gotten a break, and I was ready to start killing things. I went into the freezer a couiple of times and screamed at the top of my lungs and kicked and punched boxes until my throat and fists were too sore to do it anymore. And at one point I grabbed a Double Whopper and smashed it with my fist. The sandwich literally exploded. Of course I had to clean it all up, but it was soooooo worth it to see pieces of whopper fly and I could imagine it was some customer's/manager's/mexican's brains. Ooooohhhhhhh, it was good. I should smash sandwhiches to relieve stress more often. I finally got my break around 3:00. I stole my food b/c I was in no mood to actually pay for it. Then I took a 20 minute nap. Afterwards, I ws much, much better. But then I only had a half an hour left of work anyway. Stupid managers and their ridiculous timing on breaks.
At 4:00 I was off, and of course no one was there to pick me up. I was about to call when Jason came in. Thank god. We ended up going to the gym where we rode bikes, lifted, and I started my tanning sessions. Then it was back to his house for hot tubbing,a nd then to AMC to meet Liz and see S.W.A.T.
Very, very good movie. Great action sequences. And Colin Farrel is always nice to watch. Surprisingly his ex partner was also very easy on the eyes. But I didn't think that until I noticed his ear piercings. They really make him look much more attractive. So much so that I was sorry to see Colin beat him at the end. But the bad guy was an ass, and it was fun to see him get caught, and it was overall a very satisfying movie. Liz didn't like it, but I'm not entirely sure why. I heard something about a lack of plot, but its an action movie. It's not supposed to have a terribly intricate plot. I thought it was pretty decent in that category. It had some nice twists and stuff. Granted, it won't win any awards, but it was decent enough. I dunno. I'ts definitely not a chick movie. I'd say that's probably why Liz didn't like it, but, well, she likes lots of non-chick movies. I dunno. I'm confused. MAybe she just expected too much from it. I really expected it to be kinda dumb, and when it wasn't dumb, it blew me away. That's probably it. Just lower your expectations and everything will seem like it's great!
After that, Jason and I caught the tail end of Teen Shopping Night at Oak View. It was . . . not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. of course I got there when it was almost over, but it was kinda . . . dumb. Too many teeny girls (yes, I expected that), but non of the cool things I expected were there. Like sales. I only saw one sale; at American Eagle. Needless to say, I bought three things there, but that was it. It really wasn't a big deal at all. Oh well.
Then Jason and I went to Super Target to get Silent Hill 3. Ohhhhhhhh, it's good. I've only played the first half hour, and it is very, very good. I'll describe it in more detail tomorrow, but I have to be at work in 5 hours.
