Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Flattery Will Get Him Nowhere
I didn't have the fabulous day I had yesterday, but it
wasn't horrible and most definitely I can say that my
energy is coming back. I added a complex B supplement to
my vitamin regime a couple weeks ago and I think it's
helping along with the regular exercise.
It was an eventful gym-day. I ran into Justin (an old co-
worker from Ross) again. Usually it's at work, but today
it was at the gym. He was playing basketball at the YMCA's
Friday shirts vs. skins game and I'd just finished my
cardio and was on my way back to the locker room. We
talked for a minute, but I don't really have time for him.
He's a nice enough guy, but I've always gotten the vibe
that he's just waiting for my marriage to fail so he can
have a chance at me (at least now he's waiting for my
marriage to fail. When we worked together he wasn't as
courteous, until I got pregnant with Kiki and was less
than desirable). He made it pretty well known that he
doesn't agree with me being married to a white guy, which
I think is stupid. Considering I'm technically more white
than I am black and regardless of that, race is
irrelevant. I'm happy with who I'm with and he stands no
chance. No matter how many times he tells me I look good
or should come have drinks with him because I need to get
out more (no I don't). Flattery will get him nowhere.
I witnessed something pretty disturbing while sitting in
the sauna. To get to the sauna you have to walk past the
jacuzzi. There was an old guy sitting in it and I don't
think he saw me go into the sauna. There's a big window
that looks out over the jacuzzi and at first I wasn't sure
what old dude was doing, until he turned around. He was
jacking off! You could tell by the look on his face. I
turned away so I couldn't see him, but I knew what he was
doing (I could see his arm moving in my peripheral vision)
and more disturbing than anything was the fact that he
came in the water! I will never go in that jacuzzi again.
I know the warm water is supposed to be therapeutic, but
I'm pretty sure that's not what they intended it to be
used for.
I'm getting really tired of two-person coverage at work.
It's ridiculous to think that two people can handle Friday
night traffic (on military pay day no less). The store was
trashed and no matter how hard Alicia and I tried to keep
it neat, it kept getting destroyed. It didn't help that
some customers were being blatantly rude by tearing apart
panty tables as we stood there straightening them. I know
the tables aren't the best method of displaying the
panties or the easiest to shop, but it's what the company
wants. There's really no need to grab stacks of panties
and toss them around just to find your size. Really. If
you need help, ask someone. We'd rather help you find your
size than have you upturn dozens of pairs of panties. I
know my griping is futile, so I'll stop. I don't work
again until Tuesday. That's plenty enough time to get over
it.
Annie is spending the night at a friend's house and
because of that Kiki is having trouble sleeping. It's
almost 12:30am and I can still hear her awake downstairs.
She's been up 3 times since I came home from work, asking
for water, a snack and about a dozen hugs. I don't want to
let her sleep with me, but I know she's going to sneak
into my bed after I fall asleep. She did that last time
Annie was gone. Poor girl. She's so co-dependant. I worry
about her as an adult (just a little). Ciao.
