2. That my "luck" has yet to come about.
I never cease to amaze myself at the complex and not-so-complex situations I seem to either GET myself or PUT myself into.
Let's just start with the basics for anyone and everyone who so feels the desire to read about my less than adventurous life! I'm a 6th year senior, yes ladies and gentlemen, I indeed said 6TH!!, at Texas A&M University! I'm happy to have been here but I'm MORE than ready to move to NY or California and start fresh as who I AM!!
I currently, and for the past 2 years, have been employed at a Licensed Starbucks as a barista!! I love my job, for the sake of getting loads of free caffeine on a semi-regular basis, but typically HATE the trash that come in and pose as unassuming delightful customers! (Look forward to a blog about a day in the life of a barista in the future...)
That's pretty much the jist of my life at the moment. Yes I love to sing, paint, relax, workout, etc. whatever else you can imagine I could/would do in a college town as desolate of intriguing a population as this one! (GAG me, sometimes I wonder how I've managed to last this long...)
Just a brief example of the life that is ever-so completely stocked with the days from hell, today was a minimal trip through the burning pits....I don't literally mean HELL for anyone with concern, I do have faith, and one day know the He will repair what has been broken, I simply choose to illiterate the story with as vivid a description of my feelings as possible.
Today: January 26th, 2010
I'm am currently 26 days into my audacious New Years Resolutions of : 1. NOT eating fast food for a year, 2. NOT eating fried foods 3. Loosing 80 pounds by my 25th birthday in August, and all of course having little to NO clout during a vacation or Holiday of any kind..OF COURSE!
I've only lost, according to scales, approximately 6-10 pounds...yes this is indeed a great feat to accomplish, but something makes me feel less then so. I can only keep going, and I must tell myself that EVERYDAY!!
However I feel like maybe I should tack on a #4. Be NICER to people. I'd like to consider myself a fairly nice person, except for, If you're a BITCH to me, I'll only be one back. You piss me off, I'll piss you off. See the trend?! I mean I did grow up with the firm belief and teaching that I should treat others the way I'd want to be treated...I think maaayyybeee I got a little lost in translation so to speak. For example, while at work today I had a semi-regular customer, whom I prefer to refer to as the Wrinkled Witch! I mean seriously just an all around UNhappy person!! So long story short, at the store I work at you have the option to scan your store card and on occasion you get random FREE benefits, and today just happened to be her lucky day. Well as a customer you have the option, normally, to use it right then and there or save it for another time. Well as you just read, NORMALLY, means that sometimes the computer system we have automatically uses the credit right then, like it did today! We offered the WW a FREE drink coupon for the next visit attempting to rectify the situation. Buuut of course the bewildered old hag knew exactly how to do my job with never have being employed before herself. The story goes on and ending with the woman repeatedly telling me I was wrong and that she knew exactly what to do blah blah blah blah! I mean seriously she got TWO free, whatever-the-hell she wanted drinks and she STILL bitched and moaned, go figure, someone in America today complaining and only wanting/demanding MORE?! NEVER!!!
I could seriously write a tell-all sort of book about the life of not only a barista, but of ANYONE who's ever had to deal with terrible customers. (Would you be nicer to the person who checked you out at the grocery store after reading a book like that? Or would you still be the asshole that made it into the sequel? )
Well quickly moving along to my early evening fun of my toilet tank EXPLODING in my bathroom!! Yes ma'am, my toilet has been having issues for quite sometime now and to my dismay and the lack of care by apartment managers, it has finally resulted in the destruction of my toilet tank!
It was actually quite eventful and provided a substantial amount of entertainment in the process. So while watching some Tyra Banks show, lame I know, I started hearing some sort of leaking noise which quickly disappeared once the tele was muted. So no more thought went into it....until I decided to maybe go have a looksee. BAD idea!!!
I only go in to discover that my toilet bowl had runneth over and there was a 1/4in murkey SHIT water that had backed up THREE FLOORS to my apt. DELICIOUS!!
In the process of removing the tank lid and attempting to manually dump water from the toilet to tub, the shaking of the toilet caused my shelf above to come blazing down and crashed the entire tank shattered EVERYWHERE!!! Seriously?!
Well considering this is my first blog, I'm being EXTREMELY distracted by a number of things around me, this may or may not make sense to anyone who dare read it. But in due time there will be more and more and it'll all add up in one way or another! For the time being I shall come to a close and end this shenanigan of a blog! Farewell and until next time!
