so today has turned out to be a not so good day. first it started off with me waking up at my usual 5:15am to get ready for work. i get ready, straighten my hair (which i hardly ever do), put my clothes on, eat my breakfast, and then head off to work. i get there and i'm totally prepared to work, and then i look at the schedule... i freaking CLOSE. so i call my regional mgr. who tells me to call the other assistant and ask him if he could close. turns out he has ... YOGA. yeah... seriously. so i have to drive back home (which wasn't too bad) and then drive back at 2pm. so, i mean... that part really wasn't that bad. i got a good 3-4 hour nap in between and got to eat lunch and get coffee... not rushed at all, which is what i like.
so i'm thinking that today isn't going to be that bad of a day afterall. yeah, i had to wake up earlier than usual, but whatever.... i got to treat myself to peet's coffee and stuff so no big deal.
then i get to work... from 5 until closing it was nonstop cleaning. every time i'd clean something, a huge mess would end up somewhere else. then there were the racks that was a never ending cycle of picking up shoes. i finally just gave up and figured i'd have someone do it at the end of the night. it was a very stressful night tonight. i found myself straightening one of the racks and thinking to myself that i kind of wanted to cry a little. BUT... i will not allow myself to cry over work. that's nonsense. it doesn't deserve my tears, and even though i'm pmsing right now so i'm technically allowed to be a big baby and cry... i don't want to.
i was pretty good today at not yelling at anyone and just being really... mmm... authoritative i guess you can say. someone would just be stupid as heck and i'd just talk to them like i was their mom or something instead of saying what i really wanted to say which was "you dumbshit! what is wrong with you!" instead i said in a monotoned voice what i wanted them to do and just let it go from there and just watched them until they did it correctly. it's really crazy. i swear some of these people hate me, but it sucks to be them because i'm in charge now. hahaha.. me power tripping? never. i am to the point though where if someone pisses me off i write them up. so i guess you can say that i'm a pro at that now since i've already given 2 since my mgr left on saturday.
i have to be up at 5:15am again tomorrow and i have tons of stuff to do in the morning. i just hope i can finish it all and keep the department up and running. i know i can do it... and i refuse to disappoint anyone or let anyone down, but at the same time... it's all very stressful. *sigh*
oh well... time to watch some "elf" to make myself happy i suppose. good night.

I <3 Shopping
So this weekend has been pretty eventful. That's always good for an update!
Friday: Woke up at 10am to get ready to go to the Costa Mesa Rack with Christy. She got to my house around 11ish and then we headed to Coffee Bean to get some energy to shop! After it was off to Costa Mesa! We got lost a little bit, but it's okay... at least we had my cell phone which has googlemaps on it. So we finally made it there and then went straight to the Rack! We spent approximately 2 hours in that store, had 2 trips to the dressing rooms, and had a lot of fun! I got a really cute Marc Jacobs blouse, 2 really soft hooded sweaters, a pair of red shorts, some underwear, and a pair of running shoes for my mom. Christy got 2 really nice summer dresses and some underwear as well. Then after that we went to Boudin and got pasta salad and a pepperoni pizza to share. That was quite tasty. We stopped by PacSun where I got 4 tank tops since they were 2 for $20. Then we went to Best Buy to look at their DVD's and Apple computers. Headed home using my googlemaps which was actually pretty good since it has us avoid the 405 during rush hour traffic. Surprisingly we made it to Whittier in about 45 minutes with hardly any traffic at all! Met up with Christy's family and friends at this Italian Restaurant in Whittier where we had some really good halibut. Christy and I then went to Pinkberry in Old Town Pasadena and ate it while we shopped at H&M and Urban Outfitters. I, unfortunately, did not buy anything during this little trip but Christy got a really nice jacket!! It was totally worth it for her to get it even though it's freaking hot outside... ahhahaha
Saturday: Had to open this morning, so I worked from 8-5. Had a goodbye lunch for my manager at Islands, which was really good. I got a burger and fries. After work I headed over to Chris' house to say hello and get some ice cream. We did that and then lounged around his house until it was time to head out to Arcadia to have dinner with Christy! We picked up Christy and then went to Kabuki where we got our usual rolls and just sat and chit chatted. Of COURSE, we can never have a weekend where all three of us are together where we do NOT go to 24 hour Wal-Mart in Glendora. hahahaa... so that's where we went after dinner. We walked around the whole place and spent an hour in there... hahahaha. Christy got some necessities for her trip to Europe and I just got random junk that I needed. After that we headed home where I watched my Ugly Betty DVD that I purchased at WalMart until I knocked out around 4am...
Today: Woke up at 2:30pm... YES 2:30pm... that's simply ridiculous. I'm never going to wake up tomorrow morning to open the store. But anyway... so I finally got out of bed at 3pm, then I ate some food that my mom brought me... sat around and then fell BACK asleep at 3:30pm until 5:30pm. Woke up, got ready to go to Christy's house. Stopped by Baskin Robbins to get an ice cream cake for the BBQ and then off to Christy's house! Ate some yummy BBQ and then just lounged in her nicely air conditioned house for the rest of the night. Watched parts of Beer Fest and Narnia.... read some magazines... played with our DS Lites and our NintenDogs... and then headed home where I am now. I should be getting ready for bed soon. Hopefully I'll be able to get out of work early tomorrow so that I can get a pedicure with Christy before she heads off to Europe!
That's all for now... more updates later.
