"I don’t want it to be anybody else." – Me in response to a question from the OLGA MONSTER.

3:58 AM – So, I got to work around 6 minutes late, and that’s amazing, I think. Being a saturday, though, it was so busy that no one noticed my tardy-dance. And if they had, I would have spun some coniving lie as to why I wasn’t there at 5 O’clock on the dot. See, I’m not usually the lying type, but when it comes to work, well FUCK WORK. You know, since my older entries are gone, some of you might not remember what it is that I do and thus why I hate it…Well, as far as to what I do (besides being a college student, mind you,), I work at our local Best Buy. It’s a retail job and I’ve been at it for much longer than I ever should have. I work on the floor and help people who can’t figure out the system of ALPHABETICAL ORDER to find CD’s and Dvd’s and the like. What could be so bad about that? Well, let’s see :

1. I live in a border town, about 5 minutes away from Mexico. I can deal with that. I’m hispanic, you know? It’s my culture. The thing is, people commute over here from like, the interior parts of Mexico and I have to deal with them. They’re usually fucking animals as well as rich snobs who feel perfectly okay about leaving the remnants of their Starbuck’s whatever-the-fuck’s on the floors or racks for little old me to take care of at the end of the day and get my fingers all sticky. That, as well as the fact that they must be catered hand and foot over there because they come to expect that even when their requests are ridiculous. Self-loathing Mexican, anyone? heh. I KID.

2. Management. Our managers (save for like, 1 and a half ) are total ass-monsters.

3. Well, shit. It’s retail. Retail sucks. I can’t wait for a boring desk job. Man, that’s going to be rich.

And to top it off, when I finally cornered my manager about the move and possibly shortening the stay in my department, she gave me a whole bunch of bullshit as to why It’d have to wait until at least the 20th of this month. I protested, she didn’t relent and so I kept quiet. I secretly decided to show up tomorrow, on my day off, and talk to the GM, general manager. I’m going to just try and over-ride the bitch. Haha!

Anyway, that’s it for now. Take care for me, yes? Come back. Check in. As you can see, I’m actually UPDATING!

And for GREENGRAPES, this is a video of one of our most recent shows. Not our favorite song either, but probably the most presentable. heh. Check it out.
