Code fifteen or something.

I'm not sure why, but I felt this overwhelming urge to write a blog. So here I am, posting this. I just took a shower, and even though I feel a whole lot better, I also feel very sleepy all of a sudden. I'm not hungry or thirsty; I'm just sleepy. It's like I can't lift my arms or something. Weird.

Well, my second day of bookkeeping at work went rather well. I only had a couple mishaps, and they were nothing major. I balanced three tills, did three audits, and got one pick-up. I even rang up a few money orders. Bookkeeping is basically just a ton of information. There are a lot of codes to memorize, and a lot of procedures to remember, but once you get the hang of it, it's really not that bad. And apparently, bookkeepers are right under the managers as far as authority goes. So we get to tell the cashiers and baggers what to do. Not that any of the bookkeepers really do that. The only thing that bookkeepers at my Bilo do is tell people when to go on their lunch break, unless a manager says otherwise. Oh and cigarettes - those are a lot to remember. There are so many names and different kinds - it's going to take a few days to figure out where they are. My training is going so well though. Heather told Jim that I'm catching on "pretty quickly" with everything. The only real problem I had was today when my key broke when I tried to open the Service Center door. But even that didn't take long to fix.

I don't want to go on vacation. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. That cruise I'm going on in August is just getting in the way of everything. Why pack up a whole bunch of luggage and drive all the way to Miami just for a week of vacation? Just to come home, unpack everything, and go back to the everyday routine? Seriously. It's just stupid. I'm ready for school to start. I want to get my nursing degree so badly, it's killing me. I want to be a nurse so I can help little kids and make decent money and support myself. Anyway, I just feel like skipping the vacation and going straight to school. Oh, and if I weren't going on the cruise, I'd be able to go to the Green Day concert in Atlanta on August 1st. Yes, I'm still very upset about that.

I seriously feel like taking a nap.

Maybe my mom and I can watch Urban Cowboy tonight. That's like her favorite movie so when I found it at Wal-Mart the other day, I just had to get it for her. Maybe we'll watch it tonight, if she wants to.

Kellie and her mom came to see me at work today. They even stayed with me on my break and went shopping afterwards. It was good to see her. I've missed her lately. We just haven't been able to hang out as much as we wanted to this summer. But hopefully we'll get to hang out a little more before school starts.

I wonder what I'm doing this weekend. For the first time in a long time, the plans seem wide open. Last weekend, I figured I'd be hanging out with my mom since John had his wisdom teeth taken out. But I have no clue what's in store for this weekend. I'd like to go to the lake, since I have Saturday off, but who knows. John probably won't feel like going. His mouth doesn't seem to be getting any better. And I don't want him to lie to me and tell me that he feels like going when he doesn't simply because we'd planned to go. Plans can change.

I haven't seen Kenneth at work in a while. I miss him. And Taylor. I miss her too. And Jennifer - the new...ish girl. And Audrey. It seems like I haven't seen them in forever. But then again I've only worked three days this week. They must be just working different shifts these days. I'll be glad when my training is over so I can start working nights with all the cool people. And honestly, I hope that my schedule and the managers' schedules work out so that I work with Nick as little as possible. He's my least favorite manager. He tries to be cool, but he isn't. Even Shane is more tolerable than Nick is. So I just hope that I don't have to work with him very much. Jim is definitely my favorite manager. He was hanging out in the cash office joking around with me and Heather this morning, saying something about how she's the Groucho Marx of the 21st century because she says "seriously" all the time - seriously. But he's just so cool. And nice.

Anyway, I guess I'm going to go. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do right now though because my mom's gone, and my dad's busy working on something in his building...I think. I might post again later though, depending on my mood. Or what time it is. Who knows.

Oh, and there's a line from a Green Day song that I just love. It's from "Restless Heart Syndrome", off their new album. It says, "I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied." I just love that line.

Ok, I'm going now.
