526th entry ~ Storms roll through
10:01 am
I am so unbelievably tired it’s not funny. It stormed most of the night, though I tried to sleep through it, it wasn’t a real sleep. It’s nice that it rained, we needed the rain, and in fact it’s only just stopped raining. Now we need the clouds to go away. Maybe I’ll take a nap today. I’m home all alone today…until after five. So maybe I’ll clean a little bit. Mom and dad are at work, Chris is at the state shoot in Waukesha and I’m home not having to work today. I did think about going out to JCPenney and getting Chris a new comforter. We’ve got two on clearance that are black/linen and it’s reversible. I could be the nice sister, but at the same time need to stop spending money…on anyone. But it’s clearance at $19.99 plus we get an additional 20% off that stuff then I get my discount of 20%….so that might not be so bad. I paid under $20 for two pairs of shoes last night. They were clearance to begin with and then they had another 50% off. HELL YEAH!
Day shift is in full force. It’s weird…I got up around eight this morning and had two emails from him. One was from last night…I was still up when he wrote it….and the other was from early this morning. He should be done with work now. Ahhh…I miss him so much. This is driving me nuts already. November cannot come soon enough. I can’t wait until he’s back in the US and we can talk on the phone again and send emails from the same time zone….it’ll be great. I can’t wait until he comes back to Wisconsin…I could run up to him where ever we are and give him the biggest hug of all time. The dreams are almost painful.
Work yesterday was slow and I swear to God it was National Crabass Day. People were terrible!! I had two people call and ask me for Kohl’s phone number. Excuse me, this is JCPenney, not a phone book. Hello!!! Stupid people. I called mom on my lunch just about ready to start crying. She just laughed at me. Thanks mom! She told me not to take peoples remarks personal, they don’t understand you’re not the one to blame. But see, I’m the first target because I’m trying to help them with their little problem….so of course I’ll be the first to blame…..I try and tell people if they aren’t happy, write the company. Of course I’m waiting for someone to ask me what the address is. I don’t have all the answers….if I did, I would be working at the Corporate Office in Plano, Texas. Not at store #1152 in Janesville, Wisconsin making almost minimal wage.
Yeah, that pisses me off too. I’m making seven dollars an hour, which for a teenager is pretty good. Some make more but the majority make minimal wage. Well not the state of Wisconsin has raised minimal wage to $6.75 an hour….so that makes my $7 an hour look like shit. I should be getting a raise in October because I’ll be there one year, and if I don’t I might complain. Mr. B tells me I do that a lot. Screw you. At least I know he’s listening. I wrote him in an email after work last night saying I’m so sick of seeing teenagers walk in with their boyfriends all cuddly and shit. It just makes me want to barf. Then Cara’s boyfriend walked in at 4:30 so she ditched me and then left at 5. I said there should be no talking while on the clock. So he wrote me back last night and said ‘well we’re off to a good start, because we did talk on your break the one time.’ I’m surprised he remembered that!! Haha I took a really REALLY long break that night, but it was worth it I guess. I must’ve made some type of impression if he remembered that night.
Well I’m checking my email ever five minutes to see if he writes. He probably won’t…so maybe I’ll have to stay up until after ten tonight. Not like I don’t every night. I’m off to find something to do in this super quiet house. Normally I’m finding tons to do, but I guess because I’m so tired I find eating candy more appealing than doing something. Haha Later.
