Well…what to say about today…hmm…. I got to order, finally, today, the groceries for DQ. It was a small order because we have been slow lately. No matter. I can probably save this DQ some money, since I like to not spend money.

I found out today also that Steve is going to promote me to head shift leader at $8.00/hr for this pay period if Michael, the owner, will let him. But if not, then by next pay period for sure. This means I am basically running the place. And that I have to make sure someone is there everyday to open it. If they don’t show up on Mon-Sat, then I deal with it; if they don’t show up on Sunday, then Steve will deal with it. Eventually, I will be manager, and have a head shift leader myself. I will then be responsible for seeing that the store is open on Mon-Sat and they will deal with Sunday. However, if they don’t show, then I will have to call someone in. But I will deal with that when the time comes.

I worked some more on The Spot last night, and I have decided to go with Forest Green as the main color. I will have to draw up the graphics I want to use (and they are pretty complicated). But since you found this, you’re probably already noticing the website (unless I haven’t finished it yet).

I am also going to be working on a story/novel for it called “Long Shot 2,” or something else. (Probably something else…something to do with the rise and development of a civilization). However, as opposed to humanity or Earthlings, this story is a continuation of a 1970s short story (as explained in my intro) about a new race of Alpha Centurions developing on the Alpha Century System, 10,000 years from now. But they have to start from nothing but a baby and the robotic spaceship he was delivered on.

So far, in my head, the story line is interesting, but I haven’t taken any time to write it all down until I can get on the computer. Then my hand won’t hurt so much, and I can write more at one sitting.

I was supposed to call Laura today, but I decided not to. My purpose in calling her would have been to get her to talk to Amy about me, but if that backfired, I am not sure what to expect. I mainly want to find out if, all emotional/romantic feelings aside, her and I can still just be friends. That was all I expected from her anyway the night she and I talked about her relationship issues. Everything else was a bonus.

But then I considered calling Lindsey H., but I wouldn’t know what to say. It is very rare that I *do* know what to say when I call someone. Yet another reason I don’t like using the phone. I get to the purpose I called for, and then am ready to hang up. I would like to just sit and talk about nothing and everything, but that costs money. I prefer IMing because it doesn’t cost long distance, and you can leave a message or just chat at any time.

Well, I have gotten off track, and lost my train of thought. So I guess that is all for tonight. I’ll probably call Jay tomorrow and let him know the current situation, which could still change at any time since it has changed at least 4 times since I have been back already. Laterz.

I'm Neo, creator of the-spot.net. This journal is a digital form of the paperback journal that I kept each day from December 21, 2002 until March 23, 2003. It details my life experiences during those three months: the transition from college sophomore to adult, interactions with my parents, and general life after leaving the private college on-campus "bubble". These days I'm much better now, and living on my own. I haven't talked to my parents since May 2005 when my brother graduated high school.
