jianantonicMy parents came over last night and gave me my birthday present - a shiny, new, red...lawnmower. To be fair, it is what I asked for...but there's something terribly depressing about getting a lawnmower for your 21st birthday. Oh well. It works much better than the one we borrowed from Mike, and I mowed the whole lawn yesterday, so Jeremy can no longer even try to claim that he has done half of the mowing (this was the source of a really funny argument last week). I win, and the lawn looks great, go me.
We hired a new guy at work - another Zales alum, named Terrence. He's younger than me I think...anyway he's cool. He's really nice and I'm looking forward to working with him. Christina's only working two or three more days and then she's done. Hard to believe...but I won't complain about it;) I'm in the process of training to be the computer guru now, and so far everything is ridiculously easy. I can't believe how much bitching everyone else does about the thing - they don't even have to do the shit, so they need not worry. Some of the people at work have been really pissing me off lately. Mostly Colleen. She's an owner, but refuses to make any decisions that have anything to do with the store. On the other hand, she's more than willing to blame me, Christina, Jay, and Matt, when her husband loses his temper and everything goes to shit. I'm not going to get into that but let's just say that Colleen and I are very different people and would not likely choose to associate with one another if we didn't have to. (Last week when Jay and Mike got in a fight and Christina stormed out, she went around and put "With God, all things are possible" on all our cubbies. I still don't think any of them know what it really means to be a Christian, except Janet and Daniel.)
As much as I complain about my job, you'd think I hated it - but no, I love it, really. It's a great job and I enjoy myself very much - I just see this family tearing each other to shreds each day and I have to bitch about it somewhere. Anyhow I've got to get breakfast and prepare myself for the day ahead...Adam's coming over tonight:) So yeah...peace.
