January 2003

And thus, I begin a new section in my notebook. It has now been thirty days after my return home from ETBU.  Let’s take a look at all the things that have changed in 30 days:

• plans to return in the spring for visits thwarted by no car.
• plans for college perpetually pushed back
• decide Amy does not wish to speak to me; what a bummer
• decide that I am not going to date just any girl simply because it was a “girl-hater” month
• dedide Amanda, a girl at work, does not like me, even though we had decided we would date when she turned 18 in March.
• my parents took my car and gave me theirs.

Ok, this list is not working. Forget it…

I wrote Natalie back, but the letter is still on my desk. I just haven’t put it in an envelope yet.

Oooo…I saw Megan today… (more…)

Ahh…relief is finally here…somewhat. I get two ays off – in a row! Whoo Hoo! But I have to get up at the butt-crack of dawn (8:00) to take my car to get the oil changed. *sigh* Dah well…at least I get to go shopping after that! Yea! (That’s right…I like to go shopping…but usually when it’s for me, or if I am spending someone else’s money on someone else.) (more…)

Welp…boring day at work. Except for one slip of the tongue on Tom’s part. Now I have taken it as him joking with me to see what happens, but he said “ole girl wants to hook up with you.” However, he won’t tell me who, so I am not going to worry about it. Any girl should know (or at least that has been one of my objectives when I talk to them about relationships) that if they want a guy, they usually just have to ask. A guy can’t read their mind, and a girl shouldn’t assume that he is picking up on her flirtatious hints. I, for one, have given up on thinking that ever “nice” girl is flirting with me. Therefore, to me, a girl being friendly, even if she is thinking that she is being over-friendly, is just being friendly to me. She must approach me and tell me flat out. (more…)

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. (more…)

I decided on a name for my website. “The Spot” like “the hang out” or “the place to be”…it’s “the spot.” I have a cool logo that has all the letters to “spot” in it, while maintaining a contemporary and abstract design. Now I am working on a slogan. All I have so far is a re-make of Kia’s: “Make every click count.” But I am also thinking about “What you need…to know.” (The grammar and punctuation will have to be worked on though.) But it is coming along quite nicely. It never takes long to make a site once there is a purpose and a design to achieve.

Well, I was supposed to be trained to do the food cost once again today. Nope. I counted the store – it took 30 minutes, when it takes everyone else an hour or more. Then I wait all day for my boss to come by and show me what to do with the numbers. He gets tied up in Mexia and never makes it while I am there. He seems to be unrealiable when it comes to scheduling. He said he would be spending most of his time last week at Hubbard, but he didn’t. If he would just tell me what I need to do, and pay me more, he would not have to worry about this store. Perhaps I should tell him that.
