work today kicked my ass. come to think of it, it kicked my ass yesterday too. blargh. i’m hating having to deal with all these people and their issues one right after the other (though in consolation a very few number of customers have noticed how difficult my job can be – one guy i helped out the other day said to me “if i had your job i’d probably kill myself having all these people come in and bitch at me”… coincidentally he came back in the next day bitching). i ask them a simple question and they blow it all out of proportion, and a task that would have taken 2 minutes ends up taking 20, and the customers behind them in line start getting pissed off at the wait.

it’s having me very hopeful about getting the job i interviewed for, yet very nervous about it because if i don’t end up getting it, i don’t know what i’ll end up doing. at least outside of the holiday season, august is the busiest month (back-to-school being the main cause), so i can look forward to the store slowing down in the near future. on the other hand, the holiday season starts up just two months after that, so it’s not really that much of a break.

in other news, i finally opened up my bill for tuition, and it’s looking to be much more than it was last semester. stupid maryland and their tuition increases! i figured i’m not going to have my tuition assistance prepay my tuition this time (i’m going to pay it out of pocket so they can pay me back for books and whatnot as well, and also so i won’t have to put up with them delaying my payment for the school) – it’ll be nice when i do get reimbursed for it since i’ll be getting a check for about $3000. i still need to see about registering for some of my classes and fiddling with my school schedule. i wanted to wait until i heard about the new job first, but i’ll probably end up seeing about fixing it up tomorrow. other plans for tomorrow: wash the mini (i still haven’t done that) and get some other cleaning done. oh, yeah, and call up the credit card company too. if i get a chance i’m going to try to get into baltimore, but i doubt it.

i’m just kind of annoyed in general right now.

also, we don’t really have any good booze in the house. only really beer, gin, rum, and jaegermeister, and nothing at all to really mix those with (unless you want to mix it with water, milk, or orange juice). i had a shot or two of jaeger, but i’m not really that much into jaegermeister as i used to be.
