2.12.99

I'm writing this a few minutes before the 12th, but I'll finish on the 12th and get Friday out of the way so fuck you!

Yeah, I'm not really as mad as that first sentence made me out to be. I've just been having a not so great week. Little things have gone wrong and added up and whatnot and I haven't felt like talking about shit for awhile. I've just...felt like shit for awhile, basically.

I'm poor...or as Candice so lovingly says: "Po' as fuck." I set out to get another job a few weeks ago and I got scammed $30 last week. I won't share the gorey details but just take my advice--stay away from Yahoo listings. I should have known better, it was a moment (or several moments) of idiocy. I finally got a job today as a telemarketer for the school here. Whoopitydoo. I call alumni and beg for money, it's a lot of fun. Actually--it's more fun than I thought it would be. The people are cool (there are about 16 of us), the boss is funny and the work is not ridiculous or even hard and it pays $7/hr. So that will put over $200 more in my pocket every month, I can deal.

Rebekah got a webcam. I am obsessed. What is up with that? I'm trying to justify it--like I sit here going..."Well it's not really stalking because usually that involves some sick twisted action...it's more like--stalking." Ugh. What is so exciting about watching Rebekah flip through a magazine? Not that she's flipping through one right now or anything, I mean I wouldn't know that. But anyway, it's a neat gadget and I want one. I want to make faces at it and let Candice flip it off and let Kristen moon it (I so know she would, too).

Yesterday, I got an email from Holly saying that Camelot had gotten robbed about 3 weeks ago. It was her drawer that was robbed and I'm not sure if it was before, during or after hours or if the money was taken out of her actual drawer or the deposit envelope, but--it was taken. And they took away Holly's keys and started giving her shit for hours. Well, today, she writes me a 3-sentence email. In short, she got fired because she didn't make any drops the day of the robbery. Well...fuck that! I stopped making drops after the first year and a half of working there! Nobody makes drops, so why should Holly get axed? First of all, Holly was hired two and a half years ago for her spotless register record that she'd held at her previous job for 3 years. In all of the 2.5 years she worked at Camelot, most of them with me, she's never been short. She's one of my best friends, one of the most honest, responsible people I know and the manager should know this! She was the best worker they had--fuck the system, that totally sucks for her. She had a 15 month old daughter to support--how is she going to get another job after this? I mean, sure she can leave it off her resume but then whoever's doing the hiring is going to be wondering what she's been doing the past two and a half years. AHHH--I just hate this whole situation. I feel so incredibly bad for her.

...I'm not still watching Rebekah read a magazine, I swear.
