365 days til my signature stops being long and stupid and gets all nice and neat when I drop 10 letters off my last name XD

Happy anniversary to me and Steve XD

Put an X by the movies you've seen.

So... today was a big day. My first day opening the store by myself, and being the person in charge with "all the answers" from 8 until 4. Wow. It wasn't as bad as I had worried it would be, but it was a long day nonetheless. I had to do the opening paperwork, deal with an irate customer, and help deal with a person who either gave us a fake SSN or had someone else use his SSN fraudulently. Not to mention that if someone came in and asked a question I'd never heard the answer to before, I didn't have someone else to go ask about it.

But I did ok. The store is still standing, we weren't robbed, and most everyone left the store happy. And I think I even managed to meet my daily productivity goal too. And I didn't pull my manager out of his meeting every 10 minutes to ask him some stupid little question like I was worried would happen.

I'm getting closer to being able to run a store all by myself XD I'm aiming for being promoted in January. I don't think any stores will be opening up during the christmas season and I know I won't be ready before then, especially never having worked in retail at christmas time... I don't think I could handle being a new manager and working my first christmas at the same time. Take one hurdle at a time if I can XD

I really just seem to be falling apart lately. My ankle has been killing thanks to work, and my knees have been bugging me off and on. And when I'm not working, I'm sitting in front of my computer wishing I had real contact with the people I talk to online.

I just feel so alone lately. I might have Steve, but pretty much all we do is sit at our respective computers and he plays WoW and I wander aimlessly on Gaia, and occasionally color pictures on my computer. Then bedtime rolls around, I go to lay down in his bed b/c I need a tv on or else I'm up all night thinking about shit like this. Generally he joins me after I've already fallen asleep, or I'm almost asleep and he wants to cuddle and whatever, but I just want to sleep at that point. It's more like coexisting than being engaged. And it sucks that we're like that, but we can't think of much to do to avoid this. He doesn't like to go out, and there's never anything good on tv. We're both a bit short on cash (him more so than me since I've at least got a decent job now) so we don't go out and rent movies, and renting movies always turns into a fiasco b/c I get dissappointed by all the movies I'd like to see that Steve absolutely won't see. It's sad that it's never the other way around, I pretty much like all the movies Steve likes. I just have a broader range of movies that I like.

And it's not like I have any friends that I can hang out with when he wants to stay in and play WoW. The only people I know around here are my co-workers and Steve's friends. Steve's friends are always playing WoW, and I still just haven't gotten to the point of considering them my friends as well, even though they all think of me as a friend. I just have stupid standards of what makes a person my friend or just a cool person I know.

So pretty much, my life right now is: work -> dinner -> gaia -> sleep -or- gaia -> lunch -> work -> sleep

And that's rediculously lame.

And I hate it. It makes me want to cry and scream and kick things and throw things and do all sorts of things that won't change a damn thing. But I can't think of anything I can do to change anything either. And that's what frustrates me the most.

...and don't already own katamari damacy, you should get it. those silly japanese people are brilliant once more with this game XD

now if only I didn't have to get up at 8am tomorrow, I could go play it more XD

Man has it been a crazy few weeks... very little internet access for me... but I got myself a cellphone! XD Bout damn time I joined the mobile world XD

Been working alot lately. I'm really liking my job. I'm starting to pick up on important things, and I've been able to meet my sales goals for the most part too. I've even sold a few cell phones, which is good considering I know very little about the cell phones we have or the plans or whatever XD

Also spent the last week and a half helping Steve house/dog-sit for his family's friends. That's where my lack of internet access came from XP

So, I have a job now XD

Starting next week, I get to be a manager-in-training at Radio Shack in Bloomingdale.

I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm figuring I'll do fine in the long run XD
