Of course. Most people have.

I want to say I do, but I don't think so. I think some people are just bad, and no amount of chances will change that.

No. I believe in knowing there is a possibility of love from a first convo.. but not at first sight.

No New Fringe Tonight

I was soo sad when I got home to find out Fringe wasn't new tonight. I want to know so bad what happened to Olivia, and how everything else fits in to the pattern. I know St Clair's has something funky going on in it.

--- Warning Spoiler ---
For those that watch the show, remember in the episode "the equation" when Walter is put back into St Clair's, he see's himself on his bed, and has a conversation. Now, he was perfectly sane.. or as sane as Walter gets, and that happened.

That place really messed him up, both times. Whether it was because they weren't medicating him right, or what, but it was funky. I think with this show, they wouldn't have shown that unless there was a logical reason behind it.

I'm also excited to find out what happens between Olivia and Peter. I sense a little connection, and while I'd love for Peter to be mine, I don't think that's a realistic request, so I'm routing for Peter and Olivia. I think they are cute together.

Anyway, I'm mad. I have no idea when the new episode will be on, and I can't stand waiting for stuff like this. There's nothing worse than ending with some huge plot point. It's like.. WTH.

Honey Dew

Okay, I told you guys that I'd tell you how I lost my job at Honey Dew today, so I'm gonna go just that. Let's start at the begining. I went on the interview and Joe (the owner), told me he wanted me for the 11-3 shift. I told him that would be perfect, so he told me to get a work permit, and I could start as soon as I got it.

I got the permit, and started on a Monday. He had me training for two weeks, on Monday and Wednesday. Then he scheduled me to work Monday and Wednesday, for two weeks in a row. I was about to ask for more hours, when he told me, again, that he was going to give me the 11-3 shift.

The next week I was scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 11-3. That was perfect, since Friday was always my service day. It would all work perfectly. So I had that schedule for two weeks... then it was back to Monday and Wednesday..

So Then I worked Monday and Wednesday for two weeks, and on Wednesday of the last week, he asked me if I could work mornings. I told him that works too. He told me I was doing great, and that he was sure that I could handle mornings, even though they are faster.

The next week, he had me on: Monday 11-3, Tuesday 7-11, Wednesday 11-3, Thursday 7-11, Friday 7-11

Now, That's a lot of money, so my mom and I were planing on going to look at cars for me on Friday, since I'd be able to afford them at that point. I was happy.. to say the least.

Monday was great, but the second I walked in on Tuesday, one of the girls I'd be working with, instantly had attitude with me. She was being very rude to me, treating me like I was stupid, and like she was way better.

But still, Joe was fine with me. When I walked in he was like 'Oh there she is!' and he was nice.. but it didn't stay like that.

I tried being nice to the mean girl, and I tried talking to her, and I tried to maybe just smooth things over, but nothing worked. Thursday was the same way, and I was to the point where I didn't want to work those hours because she was so rude. Friday came along, and it went much better because it wasn't her I was working with.

After my shift on Friday, my Boss came in, and was unpleasent with me. He pulled me aside and basically told me it wasn't working, and that I wasn't fast enough for the job. He told me he wanted to take me out of that store, and put me into another one.. heres the thing... working 3-8 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

First of all, that wasn't my availability... secondly, I was getting compliments from customers left and right. I had someone ask for me to make her coffee because no one else makes it right.. right in front of him..

I told him my mother takes me to work, so I have to work around her job. I also told him that she doesn't get out of work until 3:30, so getting to work at 3 wouldn't be possible. He told me he may be able to get me the 11-3, and to call him.

I decided to talked to a few different people to see what I should do. I knew for a fact it was because of that girl. She always got what she wanted... and now she didn't like me, and he's moving me...

Every time she complained he stoped everything and gave her what she wanted. He locks the thermistate so the girls don't jack the heat up. She told him she was cold in the morning, so he handed her the key.. she told him she thought they should do 99 cent deals.. he told her an hour later that he ordered signs for it.

So I called him and asked him what changed, because last week he said I was doing well. He said "what changed? Nothing changed, I only gave you those hours to develope your skills but clearly that didn't work. I thought we already went over this." So I'm thinking.. if you want to develope someone's skills, you don't give them MORE hours, you would change one day to mornings, and give them a few weeks.

So I said, "okay, well I agree that the mornings were hard for me, but I know I was doing well 11-3, and I know you saw that. I'd like to keep that shift" he goes "well that's just bad for business".

So I realized he wasn't changing his mind, so I told him I would take the 11-3 in his other store. He said "okay well I have to move people around, I'll call you, because I would want you to start on Monday in the other store".

Now this was all on Friday. Saturday, I got no phone calls.. same with Sunday. So at 4ish on Sunday, I called him and left a message saying that I wasn't sure what he wanted me to do, or what store he wanted me to work in on Monday, and I asked for him to call me.

Later Sunday night, I called again.. leaving another message similar to the last.. still no phone call. at 10 on Monday, I called again, saying that I wasn't going to go in because he didn't call me.

I went in at 4 on Monday, hoping to talk to him, but I needed my Check. He wasn't there, and I looked, He took me off the schedule completely.

He never called me, he never told me I didn't have a job, he just ignored my messages, and he didn't care.

Now I really don't NEED unemployment.. but if I get it, the money comes from him, and that's why I'm doing it. He is shadey, and he's a horrible business man, and what he did wasn't right.

Interesting Weekend

I know I haven't posted in a few days. As usual, I was at Crystal's for the weekend. I did a few interesting things this weekend, and I came to some important realizations. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about them, but that's not the point! =P

Friday was a good day. I went out in service, then we got ready to have people over, and we had people for the Watchtower study. It was nice. It was an interesting array of people. I'm not going to get into the whole list of who was and wasn't there, but it was fun.

Saturday was fun too. I was glad I got to sleep in, since Crystal always goes out in service. We ate waffles, and just hung out. We talked, there was some drama, but in the end, it was all good. We had a good time. We watched Walle and I loved it. It was soo cute.

I was soo excited on Sunday, because it snowed! I love the snow! It's soo beautiful. I love when the snow sticks to the trees, and I can watch it from a window, with some hot coco, and a blanky. I love when I'm home, because we have a bay window next to our table, and we live next to wet lands. I love sitting down, studing my watchtower, and watching the snow.

We kinda hung out, playing Rummy. I had a blast.. and I won! I love playing cards. I love board games too. I really like anything that takes some thought to win. I haven't played a good board game in soo long.

Anyway, this morning, my Aunt took me to the unemployment place. We were there for awhile, but didn't really get any infromation. I basically signed up, now they will contact my past jobs and such to see how much I made. Hopefully I'll get it.

I don't really know if I've told the story of why I'm going for unemployment, and I'll check once I post this, but if I have not, I'll post the story in the morning. Only because it's so insane it deserves it's own post.
