The Agrinautica

   Went in to Wild Rivers today to do some swimming and see what was going on. Stacy the evil wench was working in the office so she wouldn't let me in.. made me go in the front entrance. For which I needed to get an ID made. But I'm happy to report that one need only show up in a Wild Rivers uniform to have an ID made there.. they didn't check with anyone else.. so if anyone wants to cause some trouble...
   But yea so Nikki who I have to deal with was busy... training a new supervisor.
   The bottem line is I ain't never getting promoted, and they totally know it. I can see it in the way the HR director avoids eye contact with me now... and of course the more overt signs like how everyone and their brother gets promoted over me.
   So I'm not a good swimmer.. I'm still one of the best employees they've ever had. They can bite me.


   Otherwise... hung out with Shasta in Laguna Beach for awhile Saturday, then proceeded to a show at Chain... back to Wild Rivers that morning for more swimming but instead they put me to work cause they needed people... then beach bonfire.. and a 40 and a half of steel reserve... it was good times.. then this morning (see above)... now I'm about to go to Diedrichs. Yea. Wild Rivers can bite me.


   Called Fish the other day... she is on tour with Warp Tour. Sucks that I can't randomly go on tour with people.. on account of not being a girl and all.. grawwr.

   Yesterday around 19:00 I went to the Diedrichs, nominally just going for a cup of coffee, but kinda knowing it would lead to other things (hehe isn't that what one's supposed to do after a date? "want to come up for coffee?"), and sure enough I ended up going to capo beach with the Diedrichs kids. And this time, I actually made it and it was all good. We had ourselves a bonfire. Lessee fully represented we had: Katie D'agistino, Laney, Crow (AKA "the Evil Ex" Chris, as regards your_evenstar anyway), the guy with the Steel Reserve & Flogging Molly shirts (we'll call him.. SRFM?), and a bunch of other people.
   At like 22:00, or maybe even earlier, the beach closed and the cops actually showed up, so we all skedaddled. We proceeded to this place called "Top of the World," in Mission Viejo. Its a park on top of a hill next to some water tanks, from where you can see like the whole city. We lurked about up there till like 1am.. well I left at 00:30 because I was cravin the in-n-out. I had two double-doubles mm.

   I bought guinness before we went to the beach of course. And while I was in the grocery store this lady asked me where the tonic water was, because I was wearing my IHOP hat and she therefore mistook me for a grocery store employee... apparently.


   They say people with psychological issues often develope them in college because of the stress. I think I'm developing some: I can't leave the house without a sharpie; and today I actually intend to go to the hardware store and buy some red light bulbs because I need my room to have red lighting. ::shurg::

   Speaking of which, I actually forgot one of the worst things about work the other day: I forgot both my cell phone AND my wallet. Now I can't bring the cell phone into work with me but it was just a bad omen and really odd because I NEVER forget it.
   I got my break about mid-day, when it still had pretty much TOTALLY SUCKED, and I hadn't even run into Shasta yet. So I'm hot and tired and unhappy and then I realize I don't have any money. I wanted to cry. Only, not. I found two dollars worth of nickles and dimes in my car, not even any quarters, and then set about begging for money from employees. I was going to ask Tony, the cool office girl, but I get there and Stacy the Evil Wench was there so I asked some dumb question and ran. Then I asked supervisor Pokey (Gumby's younger brother, no joke.), and another deepguard nearby overheard and gave me a dollar. <3 deepguards.


   I just learned today is Friday. I honestly totalyl thought today was like wednesday, and went through all of yesterday thinking it was like tuesday. I love summer.


   Survey: Am I a Bad Person because for the first time in my life I intend to not spend the 4th with my parents?


QUOTE OF THE DAY
   Laney - "Hey are you guys going to diedrichs tomarrow? Uh wait let me rephrase that: what time are you going to diedrichs tomarrow?"

   My internet was down for nearly 24 hours. I almost died.

   Yesterday I went to the Suburban Legends beach party. It was pretty cool. I went with Shasta and her friend Jass. There we encountered Michelle, Bubba and Jessiska among others. There was TOTALLY a Mini-Joe it was insane. And apparently Luke is quite big. Apparently. I mean he is a wolf. No really he is a wolf.

   We parked HELLA far away cause umm we couldn find the bonfire.. like it took us an hour to find it, literally. And it took so long to walk back to the car (twenty minutes) that I got a parking ticket..!! I swear before that day I had never gotten a ticket in my life, but on 06/24/03 I got a parking ticket at both 00:35 and 22:22. Total: $129. )=


   Today I finally got ahold of people at Work, work being as always, Wild Rivers. See, its always an adventure because to talk to anyone important you have to deal with the office secretaries, and these evil individuals like to think they are supervisors, but they are not. They make up for this insecurity by being as unhelpful and patronizing to the employees as they can. A few years ago the HR director, Lisa, told me to come in, when I got there the secretary told me I couldn see her, I get home and call Lisa again, and Lisa tells me to come back and tell the secretary that she demanded to see me. Yea. So anyway today there finally was a new girl in the office who wasn't evil yet, so I got to talk to Kevin. He doesn't know if he has any supervisor positions opening up, but I'm going to be working "temp" in the mean time; meaning I'm not on the schedule and I just take people's shifts and shiznaz. Rock on.
