Calling In Sick
Thursday, December 09, 2004
Okay, time for a rant.

It's finals time. We're all stressed, we all have tons of papers, projects, presentations... not to mention studying for tests. It's the way of college, everyone goes a little psycho around finals time. But does that give ANYONE the right to call into work "sick?" Here's the deal: last night I'm at work when the phone rings. It's Erin, one of the servers. She tells me she's sick and can't come in. I tell her that it's her job to call people and find someone to cover and she told me she tried but got voicemails or no answers. So I said fine. Then I proceeded to call people because I knew she didn't call anyone. Well I left messages but no luck. At 4 Hilary came in and when I told her what was up she got PISSED. I guess she has a class with Erin who told Hilary that she was calling in because she had a paper to write. She could have written the paper the next day but she wanted to go out the next day. So basically Erin screwed us over because of school work (which ALL of us have but you don't see us calling in) and because she wanted to go out (which all of us would like to be able to do). People can be so fucking irresponsible. And truly annoying.

Today marketing projects are do and I will be SO happy to get it off my back. I'm also turning in both my history papers which means I just have my advertising presentation tomorrow and then only finals. YAY! All my finals are late enough in the day where I can sleep in, soooooo nice! Well, except for my poli sci final, which was supposed to be at 7:45 but she changed it to 8:45. JOY! An extra hour of sleep. Totally awesome!

I met my soon to be roommate last night. Her name is Emalyn and she seems like a sweetie although maybe a little quieter than Tiff. I'm a tad worried about that because when I'm around people who are quiet I tend to get quiet too. And I want to live with someone that I can at least have conversations with every now and again. So here's hoping she's just a little shy. Anyway, so we went to talk to the landlords last night and we're each going to be on the lease. Emalyn is going to move in on December 30th and I'm pretty excited. We'll be living together through to May 2006. So this is kind of a big deal. I think things will really work out, though. I'll miss Tiff because she's been a really good roommate and definitely changed my mind about living with someone (after my bad roommate experience my first year of college). But I am happy for her, she deserves all this happiness.

I slept at Dustin's last night. I've been doing that a lot lately and I hope I'm not intruding at all. I really just enjoy being around him and especially last night really needed to be around someone with such an upbeat, silly personality. The change I'm making in my life right now is going to be REALLY hard. I know it's only been, like, a day but already I've been jumping back and forth so many times that it's making my head spin. I know that this decision is the right one but it doesn't make it any easier. It's SO HARD. I'm really bad at sticking to decisions like this. I'm really bad at holding back and letting go. Anyway... so I've been wanting to be around Dustin because he helps me to keep my mind of things and he makes me feel stronger. Plus... he's very quickly found a big spot in my heart and in my life. I'm really lucky to have such a good friend (not to overshadow the rest of my super awesome friends). I love to be around him because we get along so well, we just really click. So why wouldn't I want to spend a lot of time around him. Not to mention, as everyone knows, I have a super big crush on him. Hehe *girlish giggle* And I love sleeping with him (just sleeping, I'm not say having sex... I think whether or not we are is between us). Is so nice to fall asleep curled up in his arms and if I wake up during the night he's right there. I don't like to sleep alone... and the fact that I get to sleep with this guy who I think is pretty spectacular is just awesome. So I'll take it every chance I get.

Well, I have two hours till I have to leave for class and I still have bunches to do. So more soon!

About

I'm just a girl trying to find my place in the world. I don't claim to be perfect and I don't expect anyone in my life to try to be that way either. I try to keep only good, positive and trustworthy people around me. I've been burned in the past but right now I feel like things are pretty good. I'm in the middle of re-applying to school, I work full time at Caribou Coffee and in between I just want to have fun. I am only 23, after all, and I want to live it up. Like what you see? Feel free to read more.
