Yes, I'm
alright |
7/20/2003 |
It's been way too busy at work. It's also been way
too hot. I'm actually sweating and usually the only thing that makes
me sweat is playing DDR. The other day, it was so bad that I was
there until freakin' 1 in the morning until I was finally done with
carts. Oh well, that's extra hours. Plus, Pat asked me what days I
have off and I told him Tue-Thu and he asked me if I could work at
10 on Tuesday for 8 hours and I gladly accepted. Yay, that's even
more hours. I figured it out and that's about $60 extra before
taxes. But then again, I get almost all my taxes back, so ha. I also
figured out that my insurance is costing me $28 a month because I'm
on my parents' plan. That's a little lower than most peoples', lol.
My stomach hasn't been feeling well, lately, though. My youngest
brother, Ben, has a fever, but I hope I'm not getting any of it. I
never get a fever anymore. The most I get is a runny nose and sore
throat. My mom asked me what my secret was. Well, I told her to eat
a lot more junk food, go to bed really late, do lots of physical
work for half the day, and sit around and do nothing the other half,
only think about trivial things like a song stuck in your head or if
you're stepping on cracks in the sidewalk, instead of important
things, and you might want to consider getting a little younger. She
agreed with the younger and excercise part, but I told her that it's
all part of the recipe.
Anyway, I must not look well, because aside from the normal stuff
like people telling me to smile or sarcastically to not have too
much fun, they have been saying I'm not being myself or asking me if
I'm alright. Mark came back from Las Vegas because he didn't like
"that dirty city". He has been all across the United States and he
said that it's all right here (Oregon). He asked me if I have a
girlfriend yet and asked me if I was still talking to people online.
I said I didn't have one, but was still talking to people online,
and he said that there are plenty of girls here and for some reason,
both he and Ami explicitly told me not to go for New York girls.
She said New York guys are the worst (she tried to go out with one
online and when she met him, he was a total nerd and afraid of bugs)
so she concluded that New York girls couldn't be much better. Well,
I beg to differ. I know a great one. Anyway, Mark asked me if I've
been smoking, because I look high. On the night when I stayed until
1am pushing carts, Chris saw me when I had just pushed a row inside
and he stopped and looked at me a few seconds and asked me if I was
alright. I said I was. He asked me if I was sure. I told him I was
just tired (though I really didn't feel tired, it was the best thing
I could think of). I wonder how I look, because I don't feel bad. I
just got my hair cut yesterday, though, and people have been saying
it looks good. I took a chance and wore my tank top, which is against
dress code, and to my delight, Chris, Rick, Pat, and Bet, who are all
managers, saw me and said nothing. Randy came by to drop off my
Faxanadu game for NES (first Nintendo) so I could let Carly's
brother, Jason, borrow it. Randy shook his head at my tank top and
then recalled that in track when it was getting hotter in the year
and some of the guys ran with their shirts off, I would, too, and he
would see girls stop and watch me. He would say to himself "it's
just Jason". Colin, who was the only one faster at short sprinting
than me, told me one time that I've been getting the girls'
attention. Lol, well whatever, none of them came and talked to me,
so I just left it alone. Anyway, Carly's brother came in the other
day and said "hi" to me. He was with his girlfriend and they had
just been to more video game stores looking for Faxanadu with no
luck. I know he's been looking for that game for a long time now and
it's rare. I have it, but Randy's been borrowing it. I told him my
NES is broken and I'm just holding onto the game because it's the
only rare game I have, but I offered to let him borrow it. He asked
if I might want to sell it, but I don't. So Randy brought it over
and I was going to give it to Carly, but she left too soon, so I gave
it to Steven in the hopes he would do something with her after work.
Even if he didn't, at least he'll see her before I do, and more
often, so he can give it to her. |
