ok so yeah, I quit my job because it was costing me more money then I was making and I felt dirty doing it. I made $14 yesterday (I worked 11 hours), but I went out on a good note and my (ex)boss said that he'd give me a good review if I put him down as a past job. So now I'm back to the applications. But I don't mind.
last night I was comparing and contrasting fencing and my job. I love fencing so much! They both have a lot of tricks you can do in order to decieve other people, and they're both games. Except one of them is fun.
Last night however--MOST AWKWARD FENCING EVER!! It was Shawn, Joel, Brian and me. And Shawn told off Joel and Brian and I just stood around like "AWKWARD!!!" A good time was had by all. Except not.
Speaking of fencing! The other Brian (Bunnyhops, not Golden Shoes) came last week!! It was the most exciting time of my life. Then we all went to Spot afterwards and we made Brian tell us his favorite stories of his life, like when he spent a night in jail with a murderer, or the time the signs were lying to him, or when he used to ride his bike to fencing with his fencing stuff and cello from ballet. It was awesome. Then we all felt bad because we realized he had been 20 when that stuff had happened and what are we doing with our lives?? Then he told us that he was coming TO SAY GOODBYE because he got a job in Washington and he's leaving next week!!!! So we, of course, told him he can't go. But then he all pulls out the "I'm going to work for the Democratic National Committee" card and then we HAVE to let him go. I'm calling him tonight and making sure he goes to Spot with us again tomorrow. I'm going to miss him!!! He's such a superhero.
Oh, we've also been doing some fun things the past couple nights. CYO party was awesomly fun--
me: I'm sorry, I completely forgot your name again! I can't believe it!
Father Marco: Father Marco
me: POLO!!
Polo, Jose, and POLSKA go partying ALL THE TIME. Someday I'm going to see them all clubbing. And then I will kill myself.
The Drive-In was fun, hanging out with my friends is fun, and there are still some people I need to hang out with--SARAH HYERS!! I don't have a job anymore and we need to hang out again. MIMI--I also need to talk to you. aka I NEED TO HEAR THAT SONG and I need to hear about this new boy!!
If you love Teen Girl Squad, you need to check out the new one. It completes my life.
My brother and I are going out to buy the new Daily Show DVD today. You're jealous.
Oh, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I was trying to name jobs that are worse then door to door salesmen. I was thinking telemarketing, but then I realized you don't see the people, they just hang up on you. Also, telemarketers probably get paid. Who can think of a worse job?? I'm sure there are some, I just can't think of any. [That's about the time I realized I should quit]

yeah, so sorry I haven't written lately. I got a job.
I work for KML Distribution in Williamsville, doing Promotions for Fortune 500 Companies.
aka I sell things out of a box at bars and look homeless/like a prostitute. Actually no one's asked "are you for sale?" for almost 3 full days!
Its a real business--17,000 offices in 98 countries. but it LOOKS SO SKETCH.
I go into work at 7 AM and I get back around 7 PM, which would be sweet if I got paid anything besides commission.
Basically its a craptacular job with a few benefits: 1) its a really big confidence booster because I get hit on an average of 6 times a day. 2) I have a tan 3) I'm getting lots of exercise 4) I earn some money, usually. 5) its pretty free driving around and junk sometimes. 6) I get to meet new people 7) I've learned a lot and I can talk to people more easily 8) they give college bonus money at the end 9) I can take off days for concerts I'm going to without a problem and 10)I have some pretty good stories to tell.
...and every time I walk into some building where the people are sitting in air conditioning getting paid by the hour, I cry alittle inside.
Yesterday I drove 230 miles and got hit on only twice! I like Jamestown. The guys who hit on me weren't even COMPLETE creeps!
The day before I drove 100 miles and made $10. not even enough for gas. Gas is tax deductable...but I'm poor NOW!!! And some guy tried to get me to take my shirt off like 4 times and I was trying to show off this fountain that I sell and he then used the world's worst pick up line on me: "I don't want to see any fountains that don't shoot breast milk." minorly offensive. Other than that, only one guy has told me to fuck off.
what a great job.

"Ohio (Come Back To B-lo)"
She said she needed a break
a little time to think
but then she went to Columbus
with some guy named Marcus
that she met at the bank
There's nothing wrong with Ohio
[except the snow and the rain]
I really like state capitals
and I'd love to see the Steak and Shake on Main.
So when you’re done doing whatever
and when you’re through doing whoever
you know Erie County will be right here waiting for you....
Come back to B-lo
It’s just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Empire State
There's a seat for you at the BiZon’s Game
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides all pizza sucks south of here anyway
I think I made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait
For her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
it shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
i bet she misses the sunrise
and misses the fruit flies, but i could be wrong
So when you’re done doing whatever
and when you’re through doing whoever
you know Erie County will be right here waiting for you....
Come back to B-lo
It’s just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
and drove right on through the Empire State
There's a seat for you at the BiZon’s Game
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides all pizza sucks south of here anyway
Jim Kelly wants you back
Ani DiFranco wants you back
The Anchor Bar wants you back
and the Goo Goo Dolls want you back
and Doug Flutie wants you back
and Jimmy Griffin wants you back
I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign
Come back to B-lo
It’s just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Empire State
There's a seat for you at the BiZon’s Game
and I've got every slow dance saved
