I am done work! Yeah!

Ooh, TODAY I WORKED. (Yet again.) HOWEVER, this time I had an emotional breakdown of sorts! APPARENTLY, I've been making my beds WRONG THE ENTIRE TIME! AND MY BOSS WAS ALL, I SHALL RUIN EVERY BED YOU MADE TODAY. And that made me mad. I really really wanted to leave. But I calmed down, and I was like, "last day!" BECAUSE WHY GO ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY IF IT'S A NEW PAY PERIOD? That makes NO SENSE. SO, that is my PLAN! We shall see if it works.

I even took off my lock and ripped the tape that proclaimed it mine. I AM DONE WITH MY SUMMER JOB.

YAY!

Otherwise, today was an OKAY day. I watched a rerun of Glee, and just all around HANGED ABOUT. I didn't get to the library, but since tomorrow I've got the day free, WHY NOT? Yeah! I can either go EARLY in the morning, or LATER in the afternoon. I sense the afternoon option to be more LEGIT.

YEAH. Plus I'm trying to get my sister to go with me, but I don't see that happening. My brother has a dentist appointment, though. I got out of my mine! I just have to go to it in DECEMBER. When I return home for winter break. INTENSE!

Plus my dad got a phone call today from my school saying I still owe $300 for residence. AND I SAY, WHAT?! SILLY. But he said he'd pay that when he drops me off. Or in his words, "we get it done early at 9AM, and we can go back home?" And I'm all, "YOU'RE SO DELIGHTFUL!" My mom just gave him A LOOK. Oh my father...

GJHRUJSHF! If I HAVE to go to work, I am going to SLAP someone.

AH! MY COMPUTER WON'T BE HERE FOR A WEEK! (legasp.)

I worked again today. I was not pleased.

I can't work three days in a row. It's just TOO MUCH FOR ME. Although tomorrow I'm on call, so I probably won't be called in. They already have enough workers for the day and such. It's just if someone calls in sick, doesn't want to come in, etc. etc. That's when I'm like "!" As I'll be MAD at them for LACKING THE WORK ETHIC!

There was just too much to do today! Although near the end of the day, I had people helping me. That was nice of them, that's for sure. Although in my last room, the two people helping me (and doing all the work...) leave work together, and one of them was the room checker, so they just wanted to go home. I can see that. I wanted to go home, too.

AHALACK! My computer is being mailed through UPS! UPS DOESN'T COME TO MY HOUSE!! That means I'll get a call, and it'll be all, "come get your package". Unlike Canada Post, my mail lady would've BROUGHT IT TO MY HOUSE! Stupid stupid Apple. Plus it said it'll get here by August 20th. While that's a week (fairly good), my dad and brother might be home before that! My dad doesnt' know of the computer I got! (And when he phoned this morning, he was all excited about the computer he got fixed and put LOADS more of memory on it... For cheap.) And I'll be all, shuffling my feet when he asks how much it is.

My mom and I made the decision on the computer. CLEARLY. Yeah. Silly silly... hopefully it'll come beforehand.

Anyway! Yeah. I'm gonna go read LIAR.

Hm.. Water! I wants it!

If I get lice, I blame my job.

Today, I was just cleaning a room (as usual), and at the end of the room, as I was just emptying the garbage, I spotted a box of LICE TREATMENT. EW! So I got really paranoid that I had lice, thus thinking my head was itchy... It's not a nice feeling.

It was disguisting. So I kept thinking, did I touch my head after handing the blankets? Towels? And that room was just ANNNNNNNNNGH! They moved around the furniture, and I had NO IDEA how to put it back together! So when my room checker came into the room, she was all, "!" And I was like "?" Hah. Yeah. She asked me if it was like that when I came in there. And I wanted to be sarcastic and say, "no. I moved it around for fun!" But you know, that just doesn't fly.


SASS IS NOT GOOD! SASS IS NOT GOOD!

I work tomorrow as well. My feet are not pleased.

Anyway, I'm reading Wintergirls right now, and it's quite good. I noticed that my best friend likes the author, and I read a blog post from someone who said it was good, so when I was at the library, I grabbed it. And thought I'd write in a run on sentence about it. It's good.

Unlike sass, of course.

But... I want to continue reading before bed. Good night.

Ooh, some fancy box thing holds lyrics!

TODAY, I had ten check outs! That's amazing, because even the lady who trained me was all, "!" I had to switch with one girl for ONE room, because nobody was leaving on her end! And it was DRAMA, because one person was freaking out on her for that! People need to calm down, seriously. Anyway, the trade was to my benefit, as the room I got from her was EASY. And the one she got actually involved work... Sad, but, yes.

I know you're not supposed to blog about work, but I feel like I'm SAFE. Yes.

In my act of kindness, one patron told me it was bath night for her three children, so I gave them like, six sets of towels. As towels are a THING OF IMPORTANCE THERE, I felt it was a nice thing to do! Plus it was my last room, and I had a bunch of towels. So hm... yes. Plus I don't think I'll work tomorrow (I am on call, however), so I didn't feel stupid about making my cart near empty.

It'll be stupid if I DO have to go in tomorrow. Sad face!

ANYWAY, I feel so sore right now! This morning I woke up to a ... stiff like body! And I was like, WHA? Yes. I had a tough night sleeping! I mean, I DID get to sleep quite easily (no Smart Mouths!) but work yesterday was just too intense to actually like, recover from. Sad.

Plus the slushie machine on my way home is OUT OF ORDER! MAN, NOW MY LIFE IS OUT OF ORDER! I LIKE TO HAVE A COLD SLUSHIE DRINK AFTER WORK. BUT I CAN'T, AS THE PEOPLE THERE CAN'T BRING THEMSELVES TO FIX THE MACHINE.! RARRRRRH, FEEL THE RAGE!!

Overreaction ftw!

Yes.

Anyway, I'm listening to WE CRY by The Script. It's good, you should check it out!

Here are the lyrics for you to READ:

SPOILER ALERT: BEWARE: Totally unrelated: Amber Benson was on Buffy, but she was shot. And died. Ooh, it almost lead to the end of our civilization!

WHOAH! I had this window open and completely forgot about it! Fail.

I worked today. While I was still pretty slow (my last room of the day, the people were in there) it wasn't like yesterday. Except I didn't get any assistance! Fail. SO I don't know. I hate it. It made me cry from frustration. My mom said to stick it out at LEAST until this pay period is over, so... Yeah!

We shall see. We shall see. I like the idea of getting paid, though. My dad said I would be able to pay for half my laptop AND even pay for my residence. But he probably said I'd be waiting for Chapters to open. And I'm all, "I really cannot deny that". EXCEPT! I don't know! I see books as WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET IT: "Hm, this book here is two hours of stupid work!" Etc.

It just isn't worth it. I'll wait for it second hand, thanks!

I have decided that what I'm getting is NOT WORTH IT for what I'm doing. I thought it was fantabulous, but really... it is not. Reality sets in! I don't know why I thought this work would be easy.

As it is not. I hate cleaning up after people! SHEESH! BE CLEAN! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT AT HOME DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BE REALLY MESSY!

Sorry. I'm complaining too much.

In other news, somehow my thumb started to bleed today. I assume from my work, so eh. I was like, WHOAH BLOODY THUMB. I didn't even realize. Call me jaded, or what?!

Yeah!

So my recommendation for today is to rewatch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! Although it bothered me to see Malfoy and his thugs in herbology: He isn't supposed to be there! Although yeah, I always hated that movie for some reason... Well, not hate, but it was one of my least favorites. HOWEVER, when I rewatched it, it wasn't that bad! AMAZING! I enjoyed hearing some of the best quotes! YEAH.

ANYWAY, must be off now!

I complain.

I am too slow.

While I wasn't called on for my lack of good bed making skillz this time, I was called on for my SLOW actions. And I was working as hard as I could, already! The ten rooms I got? I only did like, seven of them. Another worker did two of my rooms, while another room was a DO NOT DISTURB! I was glad that thing was on the door! (Haha, I tried to finish my last room quickly so it didn't change by the time I did my final room check.!)

I didn't even take my breaks OR my lunch hour! Or half hour, in this case. So at least I get paid for that... Horrible.

Plus in one of my final rooms, it wasn't even clean when new people went in there! So I had to MAKE THEIR BEDS and do their bathroom WHILE they were in there! And they were smoking! Plus the lady was all, "are you going to change the blankets?" and I was all, "they're not dirty..." BUT! She made me CHANGE them: Thankfully when I was leaving the room with the SUPABIG pile, one of my co-workers was collecting my used linens, so she was able to take them off my hands.

Speaking of that co-worker, she's quite nice! Whenever she was collecting the linens, she'd ask how it's going... I'd tell her I'm too slow for this kind of work, and she'd tell me to not be too hard on myself: It took her a MONTH to get into the swing of things. Which is like, whoah, but it's nice! I like her.

Sigh. But whatever the case, I feel I'm going to get FIRED for my SLOW actions. Scandalous! Yeah, so it's like an hour plus a room... And it should be HALF an HOUR. I'm too slow, mon ami! TOO SLOW.

Plus my feet have blisters and they hurt hurt hurt. It's sad.

IN OTHER NEWS, nothing too much in my life. I wore an Our Lady Peace shirt after work. Yeah... Exciting there.

As for my recommendation, I recommend hanging out with your pets. They're awesome!

`ARRY POTTER!

Today I was reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: It was awesome.

But really, when does Harry ever let you down? Although the part I was enjoying wasn't about HARRY per say, but Gilderoy Lockhart! With his "fame's a fickle friend" and "celebrity is as a celebrity does" nonsense. It made me smile, anyway.

And I NEEDED a smile! Work was HARD WORK TODAY! And I got called on for my bad bed making skillz! Or lack thereof, if I'm going to be honest It was sad. Not really, I just got kind of frustrated. I was at work until 5PM TODAY! I got there before 8AM! That's a REALLY long time! Plus tomorrow it will be EVEN MORE INTENSE because I'm going to be ALONE! It's so awkward!

It's not RIGHT for a shy person to have to KNOCK on STRANGERS DOORS and BOTHER them! I use CAPS to EXPRESS my THOUGHTS. Seriously.

Grr.

So I just applied for another job. Yay! But I have to go now.

P.S: I say you should tip hotel employees! A recommendation, yeah!
