Yippee! Totally being sarcastic.

I really hope I can force myself to wake up in the very wee hours of the morning. I really don't want to have to work all day tomorrow! I want to feel like I have some sort of a weekend before I start working at this store for the next month. :( She has me closing the first two nights I am there! What a nice way to welcome someone into your store. The store doesn't close until 10! I am lying in bed almost asleep at that point normally! Let's just say that I am dreading working with that woman. I hate to say that, but there is no doubt in my mind that I will be telling you something that she did to piss me off in the near future! I worked at her store one day, and she immediately informed me that she did not pay overtime. I just looked at her with a "Why the hell are you telling me this?" look. I never get overtime unless someone offers it to me. I just thought that was weird until I talked to someone else that went to her store to work, and she told him the same thing (and he HAS to get OT because he is an assistant). It just makes me think that she is a bitch to work for, but I will give her a chance perhaps I am wrong. This just reminds me of when I went back to work at the Smyrna store, and Jack informed me of how much happier I was at the previous store. I obviously have a serious problem working nights and weekends.

Tomorrow after I make my way home from work, Jack and I are going to go somewhere in Anaheim for Free Comic Book day. Yeah, I don't know either. He is dying to go though, so I will just suck it up and do it. :)

Ugh!

Ok..I am thinking that I am stressing out about this job thing for no reason. My DM called me today, and he stressed that I would be going back to my regular job as soon as they have this other person trained. This took such a load off of my shoulders. They also sent out a Sysm that I would be temporarily out of my stores. This made me feel better. I hate to think that I would turn down a promotion, but I just might. I told Jack when I got home, and he seemed disappointed! Rrrrr...just the other day he was telling me how upset he would be if I had to start working nights and weekends again, and it was almost like the total opposite today! I think he is just thinking about the money factor. I made sure to stress how we would probably not get to see a lot of each other because we wouldn't have our weekends together, all of our nights together, or holidays. The holiday part seemed to turn him around. It is bad enough that we don't have family here, and it would just make it worse if one of us had to work all day on holidays. I look forward to being able to take another day off for Memorial Day....hey...maybe I will be able to go home after all for the baby shower. I REALLY want to!

We totally went to see Nightmare on Elm Street tonight! I was surprised! I thought it would be horrible, but it actually wasn't that bad. I have to say it was good. *Gasp* I hate to say that, since it is a remake. I like the new Freddy. I couldn't believe that they killed hottie vampire Kellen Lutz off as quickly as they did, but I figure it was just a way to help some boys get their lady friends to the theater to see it. I did jump a lot during the movie.

And last but not least. I am pretty sure I have a freakin' bladder infection. :( I got up to pee 4 times last night! I have been peeing like a crazy person. It's ridiculous! I NEVER pee this much. I swear I have a bladder the size of a watermelon. I almost asked the girls in the Lindora clinic if they could write me a script for some Keflex today, but I am sure that would never happen because they want their money.

Almost halfway through my week

I totally thought I blogged yesterday!

I am still going over and over in my mind about this possible promotion. It really makes me uneasy to think that I am going to have to go back to working nights and weekends. Jack told me the other day that he would be upset if I went back to working nights and weekends. That totally did not help in the decision making. I know that being an assistant again is just one step closer to having my own store, but I want to skip over that step damnit! I have been an assistant for too long already. I worked for a manager that would never tell me when there was an opening for a store manager position because she was so afraid of not having me at her store to help her. As horrible as this may seem, I am already wondering how much longer Jill (the manager at the store I have to work at the next month) is going to be working for the company. I mean what if I go work at this store as an assistant and then she retires. Will I be a shoo in for the store manager position, or am I going to have to fight it out? Ugh! Only 3 more days of work until I have to start working at that store!

I did speak to Ashleigh (the district manager's assistant) today, and she told me that she wants me to come in and be her during her next vacation. I can only hope that this will happen! Ok so here is the other possible option that I may be able to persuade my DM into letting me do. I would really like to be a floating assistant. This means that I would cover vacations and go assist in a store that needed extra help. That is pretty much what I was doing before this year began. I LOVED it! I was constantly going somewhere different. I know almost all of the store managers because of doing this. PLUS it could be a Monday thru Friday day job because I would be only covering someone's vacay rather than being stuck in one store. Ok! I am finished. If I start to think about this too much, I will never go to sleep tonight! Hell I couldn't even sleep in this morning because I started to think about it.

OH! We got advanced screening tickets to Nightmare on Elm St! I will let you know what I think about it tomorrow night!

Took some new pictures!

Sooooo I finally got off of my lazy butt, and I took Roscoe for a walk. We went right down the road to Castaway Park! These were taken less than a mile from my apartment! You may have to turn your head sideways for a couple. I apologize, but I ain't fixin' it! :)

I flippin' hate you Aunt Flo! Go the hell home!

I was about to run Jack to the dentist this morning (did I mention he is a big baby when it comes to doctors?). We were on our way up there when they called to push his appointment back 2 hours! I was hot! If I would have known that I could have gone to work really early this morning but instead it threw my whole day off, and I will yet again be working on Saturday. :*( Sucky! We finally get to the doctor's office this afternoon, and he goes back and OF FREAKIN' COURSE my cramps go into full swing. I thought I was going to die. I was without ibuprofen, so I just had to deal. I was sitting every which way to make myself comfortable, but it did not work. I had to wait 2 hours like that! To make matters worse, there were no decent magazines and there was not a TV! I would have totally bought a magazine and taken it with me had I known that. Thankfully it is all over now, and my husband is no longer stressed and panicky well that is until his next appointment! Eek! I don't know where the hell we are going to find the money for this next appointment! He will be working his ass off doing shows for sure!

Have I mentioned that I have got to drive to Tennessee? OMG! I want a bike so bad! They are such a high commodity out here that they jack up the prices on them! If I go home, I am sure I can find some for a 3rd of the price! Some of these bikes out here are like 3 and 400 dollars! I want a beach cruiser! Besides that I have a dream about my family like every night, and it is really making me homesick!

Sunday Dinner

Have I told you that I have a few really awesome neighbor couples? They are great! We just got back from our awesome dinner! We are all talking about doing it again next Sunday! Perhaps this will just continue to be a weekly thing! Ribs, turkey tips, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and my banana pudding for dessert! Awesome! The conversation was also hilarious! Great time with great people. :) Let's just hope this possible promotion doesn't screw it all up for me! Jack already said today that he was going to be really upset if I had to start working nights and weekends again. I had to inform him of how possible that would be if I get a promotion. Sucks!

I made my banana pudding FINALLY! I waited until today. :( I totally should have made it last night, so it had more time to get mushy. I would like to add that I don't make hot banana pudding. I make it cold, and it is a VERY simple recipe that any little kid could make. I am amazed at all of the banana pudding recipes out there! Here is mine. Get ready for it......layer of nilla wafers, layer of sliced bananas, layer of vanilla pudding-instant (yes, vanilla. Are you sure it isn't banana? yep. It's vanilla). Just keep layering it up and throw it in the fridge when you are finished. :) I told you a little kid could make it.

My husband looks like a little kid in the floor watching Saturday morning cartoons right now. I wish you could have seen his face when he found "Ultimate Avengers" on blue-ray.

We have had a very uneventful day. We did go to brunch at the Aloha Grill and Tiki Bar. They have these amazing barbeque sliders on Hawaiian bread. <--Yep the kind you buy in the grocery store that I personally know I can sit and eat a whole package. I had to stop buying them.
