I REALLY don't want to go to work tomorrow. I know that what we're going to get is a million and two people returning teapots, which is going to suck, since I don't really know how returns work yet with store credit since we're kind of ghetto and don't have an official ledger for that sort of crap. I guess I should learn sometime, eh? All the same, I'm not looking forward to six hours of minimum wage among minimum brain usage. Plus I hate working our lunch hours because those receipts are stupid to ring up. I mean, I do it every time: Someone'll bring up a table's receipt for me to ring up, and then WHAMMO, the couple wants another pot of tea, so naturally I'm like shit and scramble to void things out while my bosses frown disapprovingly and the cash register beeps at me loudly and repeatedly. I can hardly think of anything more embarrassing. Today was a good Christmas, I guess, despite the fact that I didn't think it would be. I got a black camera bag, three Robert Vavra photography books(Equus Reined, All Those Girls In Love With Horses, and I Love Nature More), a makeup box and some fancy makeup (that shocked me since mom isnt very for makeup at all), a wonderful darkish blue silk blouse, two polo shirts to show Matthew in the jumpers with this spring (green and hot pink :D), seventy dollars, a chocolate reindeer, and a lot of 800 speed film, among some other things I can't remember right now. Things I need. I like getting stuff I need for presents, since I can actually use things. I hate little useless presents that'll just sit on my shelf for a long time. So a heads up to my future husband, instead of buying me pearls, why don't you buy me a week at the spa? *** Leo in 2005 Abundance Pursuing a successful career, along with the usual social and financial advantages, will be easier this year than it has in a long time for you, Leo!
