I really don't have anything to say today.
Or maybe I do, and I just haven't realized it yet.
I don't know.
This is really just an entry to let you people know that I haven't gone off and killed myself. I'm still alive and whatnot.
I've been having deja vu a lot more frequently lately. I've already had it twice today - and I had it five times yesterday alone. I wonder if it means something. Maybe something's going down.
I haven't gotten any calls from any of the places I applied to Wednesday. I can't help but wonder if maybe it's my hair. Is it too ... white? I think I'll dye it back this afternoon, return to the dark-brown nutmeg #28 Loreal that it should be. Yes yes. But I hope that's not the only reason why they aren't calling me. I mean, the guy at Days Inn seemed pretty keen to interview me, and seemed to be impressed, but ... I still haven't received any phone calls.
I mean, I know I hate the phone and everything, but seriously ... if the place is hiring, then why aren't they calling me for an interview?
Ah ... well ... I'll give them until Monday, and then I'll put in my application at Cato.
Yes, Cato. They had a "Now Hiring" sign in the door yesterday. Who cares if it's a women's store, right? Who says that a guy can't work in a women's store?
Of course, all the employees I've ever seen there are girls ... but ... still! I mean, aren't there laws against not hiring - or really interviewing - a guy? I guess women just feel more comfortable shopping for clothes in a store that's employed with women.
Of course, knowing me, being the neatfreak that I am, I'd be constantly rearranging things on the racks.
You know, I've never really thought about working in a clothing store before. Or even a department store, really. I know I put in an application at Sears and JCPenny's back in March, but ... they don't count.
Knowing me, I'd just be working with stocking and shipping and boxing ... things like that. I wouldn't complain. Sure, it seems a little boring, but I don't really mind it. It's work and good money.
So I think I really will apply at Cato's. I really do need a steady job - I don't think I can put up with this substitute DJ thing much longer. I mean, this morning I got a phone call from Reggie (not his real name, but the public really shouldn't know your real name - keeps it fun, and kind of safe - reason why my name is "Baxter" - aww yeah, Baxter is so cool. I have many stories, but I won't go into them right now). Reggie says that one of the morning DJ's is going on vacation next week. So I'll be needed to do the 6:00AM-11:00AM shift.
It's money, I'm not really complaining. Seven bucks an hour. That's $175 that I could save for my future. But still, it's just so spontaneous a job. I need a steady job, with a schedule ... that I can look at ... and know that I'm needed that day - and know the days that I'll be needed for, so I won't have to drop everything I'm in the middle of just to go to work.
I'm sure that substitute teachers have to do this all the time. Poor people. They need more respect, I think. Students really do treat them like crap. These are people who never get to stick with the same classroom, I mean, they have to moce around day after day, often to different schools, and teach different subjects, and it's all so spontaneous and short-notice.
It just gets worse when the students treat you like trash, too, and are always being disruptive and testing your limits ...
Substitute teachers need your respect. Hug a substitute today.
Bet you never thought about this kind of stuff back in grade school, when you gave your subs HELL.
Anyway. I'm tired. It's been a long day so far of organizing the kitchen cabinets. I've seen this in other homes, too but ... I wonder why people empty out a box in the pantry - you know, like minute rice or something - and then just ... put the empty box back into the pantry, without throwing it away. I don't get it. Why do people do that? The box is empty ... throw it away.
Then write down on the grocery list that you need more.
Is it that hard?
Do people find it EASIER to just leave the empty box in the cabinet in hopes that someone else will be in the middle of cooking, reach to grab the box thinking that it has stuff in it, but then realize that it's EMPTY - which makes their cooking pointless and just causes more of a hassle for someone else because people are stupid and don't know how to throw shit AWAY ...
GRR@#$%^&*!!
*snarl/snort*
People suck. They suck balls. I hate people.
On a lighter note, Lee (my kitty) is laying on his back with his stomach up, looking all cute as he sleeps.
Aww ...
It's cuddle-worthy.
Later days.
Blessed be.
