January 23, 1997 -- Do you know what I LOVE to do? I love to make tapes. Mainly because I love music. I'm much betterat listening than I am at playing these day....I used to kick bootieon my trumpet, but lately I've lost some power...but I try. Anyway,I made a tape for my sweetie-lovey-shnookie....oh wait, I'm not Joslyn. ;) I made a tape for Brian. I have a lot of free time down here this week, considering I have no job (But I went looking!), most of my friends went away to school, and I don't start class until Monday the 27th. So I made it AWESOME. I only used soundtracks to movies and TVshows though. I went nuts...I made labels for the tape with the songs listed on them....I made an insert for the tape case. I went nuts. Isuppose it's because I'm kinda depressed and I'm trying to fight it. AndI'm going a bit stir-crazy from my house. It's okay though. I'll beokay once school starts back up. I can hardly wait, as insane as that is. The faster the semester goes by, the faster it's summer, and I can look for a real job, instead of a cheezy one that I hate.
The weather helped my mood today. Warm and sunny. It won't last longbut it did WONDERS for my attitude today. I had energy most of the day,I went out job hunting and I even got to bitch out some girl who gave me a hard time in G&G (Clothing store in Oceanside, don't shop at that one,the people are losers!). The "slightly dramatized" version of what happened:

Kathy walks into the store after seeing the HUGE RED HELP WANTED SIGN in the front window. Clerk1 and Clerk2 are both behind the register talking up a storm. Kathy walks over.
Kathy (quietly): Excuse me....
Clerk1 gives her a dirty look and goes back to talking
Kathy (a bit louder): Excuse me....
Clerk1 rolls her eyes.
Clerk1: Can I help you?
Kathy: I was wondering who I would talk to about an application?
Clerk2 rolls HER eyes and raises a finger...not that finger!
Clerk2: How old are you?
Kathy: 18.
Clerk2: Full or part time?
Kathy: Part time.
Clerk2: Didn't you read the sign?
Kathy (getting insulted): Yes, it said "Help Wanted".
Clerk2: I think not. It said Full Time Only.
Kathy: What sign are you reading, may I ask?
Clerk2 rolls her eyes and reaches behind her to pick up a small plexiglass holder with a smaller help wanted sign and about six bulleted linesClerk2: This one.
Kathy (Goes into a Beavis-worthy rant): Ah, the one I didn't see because you had it behind the register while you were talking to your co-bitch over there and generally being very rude and unprofessional to someone who may have been a CUSTOMER and actually, as a matter of fact, I WAS a customer until I spoke to you. I can be insulted and ignored in better places than this ignorance-ridden establishment where they only employ whores and imbeciles anyway. I have a future, I'll find a job somewhere else, thank you. By the way, you have a huge glob of ketchup on your cheek. What a slob! (Kathy grins widely) And you have a nice day, dearies!
Clerk1 and Clerk2 stand in silence as Kathy walks out of the store smiling. Both customers in the store that didn't leave in the middle of the rant leave at the end

Okay, that was more than slightly dramatized. I wasn't quite that clear in my rant. They WERE that rude, I did go off on them, she DID have ketchup on her face, and the customers who were in the store DID leave. At least I feel like I accomplished something. I gave two bitches someone to complain about. ;)
That's okay. I had a lovely day and it'll take more than two peoplewith bad manners to upset me today!
