New Year's Resolution

Jan. 2nd, 2009 | 08:08 pm

1. Focus. Tough Years of school are coming up. And you haven't learned how to be a good student yet.

2. Be honest.

3. Emotional Repression= Bad

Complaints!

Oct. 5th, 2008 | 01:50 pm

So here I am at work. I am a good prole. I come in when I am told to, and I go work where they need me. This is the sort of thing one does when one works. There are two girls here, who shall remain  nameless, who do not do such things. They are told to work somewhere, and they either show up there and leave, or don't go at all.

In order for this to make sense, I must describe my job. For a long while, I worked for the Staten Island Botanical Garden in this Chinese garden. I gave tours, rang people up, supervised weddings, etc. But the Botantical Garden was located on the grounds of this cultural institution, Snug Harbor. This July they merged. THEREFORE I now work for both companies. Which means I can be assigned to work in the Chinese Garden or in the art galleries. There is also an information booth (aka The Kiosk) and a children's castle that I could work at. Today, the girl assigned to work in the back gallery had to leave early to go help out at a play (which is being held elsewhere in Snug Harbor) and one girl (now called Slacker A) was told to replace her. The original girl working there wouldn't have left without having someone replace her, but a half hour later it was reported the back gallery was empty. This was not surprising. Serially Slacker A or B leaves their assigned post so they can sit together in the front gallery. The idea of it is pretty stupid, because not much action happens in the front or back gallery as far as actual labor is concerned. In the front you sell a few tickets here and there and in the back you make sure people don't fuck with art work and direct people to the bathroom. The back is an easier job. Plus as you can see there is a computer here that we are allowed to use. The back is a much better place to work. But they manipulate things and leave things unattended (i.e. NOT DOING THEIR JOBS) so they can hang out together in the front.

Now I understand. They're dating. They have been for a while. They love each other's company. HOWEVER my boyfriend who I have been with for a while and who I am insanely in love with works here too. We do not shirk our duties. That is an incredibly evil thing to do.

grrrrr.

Just that kind of feeling....

I feel like wrapped myself up in a quilt, curling into a ball and sleeping like a kitten. If I cuddle real close to the wall my bed is up against, it's almost like there is someone else there and he can get me extra warm......

I'm preparing for fall. Going sweater and corduroy shopping tomorrow and cleaning out my closet today. It's kind of chilly. Not cold yet, at least by Northeast standards, but chilly enough to wear sweaters without looking retarded. And I love the fall. And sweaters. And warmth that surrounds you just so.....

You know what sucks....

That my boyfriend is in school again. College just saps everyone's time, what with the work and the goddamn parties. I'm quite used to it usually, since for as long as I've been dating him he's ALWAYS been in college, but its been an issue this week and it's kind of annoying. Not that it's his fault or anything, and I'm not mad at him, just bitching in my loneliness. It's more annoying this year I think because during this past summer I saw him or spoke to him at everyday for long extended periods, and not it's just abrupt.

He gots my emails though! with my poem. and we text a lot, only I've not been to fond of that because it runs up my bill....

 

I honestly cannot wait until I am in college next year and I am equally as busy. I don't think I will be as annoyed then. Plus. I am tres bored of high school.

I am at work. I just got over a horrible stomach virus that kept me in bed and starving all of yesterday. I feel miraculously 100% today. Funny how viruses work like that. I'm kind of annoyed that it sucked up a whole day from my life, because it made me completely unproductive and I cannot chill with people today as I have to make up for the work I missed. It's incredibly unfortunate.

My friend's party was wonderful, ended up making a new friend who is pretty fab and will undoubtedly broaden my social horizons. It's pretty exciting.

I signed on to revise my poem, but I ended up typing this thing because I am kinda very bored. Oh poo.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend trying Tropicana's new Peach Lemonade. I adore it, and my mother, who doesn't even like lemonade, is singing its praises. I finished the whole carton, though, so the rest of my family is out of luck....

In other news, I'm heading upstate tomorrow to visit my best friend for her birthday. I am most incredibly excited, I haven't seen her for far too long. It's a pain in the ass the process it takes to get all the way up there, since I cannot drive and neither can she, but it's worth it, I say! She seems to be really far upstate, and it will be interesting since I haven't seen any of the splendid state of New York besides New York City, where I am dwelling. So it'll be interesting....as well as exciting because I miss miss miss my best pal.

I have a lot of stuff to do before I go, like wrap her birthday gift and pack and get someone from work to cover for me. My boss is really bad when it comes to sheduling and such, so it's hard to get someone to cover for you when you don't even have a shedule to see who's working, but I like the place too much to complain or quit. It's a botantical garden and cultural center, so I work in art galleries and in a chinese garden and just in gardens in general...plus I get tickets to see plays they put on and such. It's a nice place, and everyone who matters is really friendly. Everyone who works the same job I do (cashier/tour guide/customer service rep) is either retired or in their early twenties. The retired people are fun and like grandparent-ly...or like an uncle or aunt or something, and they usually only work during the week. The weekend people are the most fun, they're all around my age but in their twenties, like I said, and the youngest, the new girl, is 14. She's pretty nice too, a bit sycophantic but overall a nice girl. 

Here's a poem I wrote while working that I am not quite sure about.

I don't know what exactly it is that I would post here, but I love lurking about and reading things on LJ. Excellent place to get rid of boredom and find some potentially inspiring things. It feels kind of redundant to write here when I have notebooks full of thoughts. But I don't know, maybe I'll wander in to write something now and again. 

Communities are fun too. But this journal is otherwise kind of useless, no?
