damn corporations, and spiderman 2!!!

so yeah... my day was pretty good. i went to work like normal. for my lunch break i was going to go to subway if he wasn't there. i only saw one person out there and i knew they had to have two. so instead i went to the atm and took out 20 and got a pizza. while in line i saw him walk by so i was happy i didn't get a sub. but then i couldn't eat my pizza for an hour when i went back to bombay so i had to heat it up in the microwave and it was kind of mushy and disappointing...

anyway, work was okay. i am annoyed at a few things. i hate that we have to cater to rich jerks so much. i guess there are those shoppers there that take notes on the employees and hand the notes in to the district managers. (I forget the name that melissa called them...) they got melissa's daughter for a tiny tattoo on her neck/shoulder and now she needs to wear a turtleneck even in really hot weather (she works at maidenform). i also just found out today we aren't allowed to wear sneakers to work! i've been wearing sneakers there since my first day! it was my understanding i could wear whatever as long as i didn't have high heels, but i guess not. just really, really irritating. (especially since we aren't allowed to sit down. this practically guarantees we have really uncomfy feet by the end of the day!!) and one kid that was interviewed today probably won't get the job because i guess he doesn't look high class enough or something, so if he worked it could only be in the back room. how fucking lame is that? i can't wait to never have a sales job like this again where I have to think about this, because all it does is make me feel kind of disgusted that i work for a company like that. i thought more than once today that i want to quit. but i can't do that, i need the job for "insurance" if i can't get an internship next summer. the people there are nice but I HATE the company. but then again i guess that's true with me and almost every company. (ie sal at gamestop getting fired because he was making 11 or 12 dollars an hour, and they could hire a new assistant for just 8)

the good news is that melissa is going to be our new manager after jim leaves since he's going to finally do what he wants to do. and melissa is great, so yeah... that makes me really happy, it isn't some random person from across the country.

after work i went to the bus stop and i started reading more of chuck palahniuk's diary, which is pretty good so far. (I started it last night.) then i hear footsteps and i looked up and it was the subway kid. he tried to talk to me and i wasn't being very conversational and hardly looked up. then he shocked me by apologizing and saying that he felt really stupid, and he said he was sorry and he should have at the least asked around (like asked mike at bombay) to find out if i was single or not instead of just assuming. he said something about reading and i told him something about not really reading since 12th grade, and something something 2 years. so he definitely thought i was in high school, haha, sucker. but anyway he was MUCH nicer and not cocky at all, and was being normal instead of stupid. i don't think he'll ask me to do anything now, he seems to respect the fact that i have a boyfriend (and probably that comment he made yesterday was just a weird reaction...). but he didn't bring up going to a play with him, so that's good... anyway i feel okay about going to subway again i guess. i don't mind if he tries to talk to me like a normal person. (i'm too nice...) but if he says anything that sounds "interested" or like he is asking me out again i'm going to flip out.

also, I think i made it very clear to him he had no chance in hell. i mentioned being with chris for about two years and moving with him next month. he said "oh, pretty important guy, huh?" "yep!" :)

so anyway i felt much better, i didn't apologize for my attitude at all and yet he did. surprising. but anyway... i'm SUPER excited because chris is coming tomorrow!!!!!! oh yeah and i guess i should write about my trip to the mall because i feel like it.

i took the bus to lenox, by price chopper, and kate and her dad picked me up. we went to the mall and went to best buy and alex told me about his horrible day :P poor alex and his cell phone issues. afterwards kate and i went to hot topic, then poked around at electronics boutique. then we went to see... spiderman 2!!! (oh yeah before all that we ate at little tokyo)

i really really liked it, i enjoyed it a lot. and there was a old couple in front of us with a dog! it was a tiny dog, it probably fit in her purse and that's how they got it in there. i didn't even notice until i saw the old man petting it. such a sweet looking little dog though...

tomorrow if things go according to plan i'll be going to kendra's house... I think her mom is gonna pick me up around 1pm, then mom is supposed to come pick me up around 6 after she's out of work, so i should be home in time for CHRIS! my case arrived today and i'm afraid to look at it, it might be broken! :P but it probably isn't.

i am soo tired. i'm going to get into pjs after this and after chris calls I am so going to bed. today felt like such a long day. EVERY day that the DM comes feels like a long day. especially when half the time i was thinking about how i wanted to quit so much because i hate the company. (I didn't used to, but i think they are being bitchy -- cranking down on overtime and the kid can't get the job because he doesn't look the part???) but melissa hopes to make it a more fun work environment... hope so. anyway i have to keep it. but working there definitely makes me hope i realize a strength in myself for at least ONE part of what i want to do, and i hope i'm good enough to get hired. i just don't want to do sales anymore :( or if i do, i want to work for a nice non-corporate place. i did with loeb's and yeah there were the annoying things... but at least they weren't so damn uptight with screwed up rules.
