snack's Journal: woo... shiny!

2 updates in 1 day?! What is this?! Has the world stopped turning? heh, oh well I figured i'd spread out my post between Quakecon and other upcomming things that are happning.

I've been working an AWFULL lot lately. I figured it out, and before quakecon, i had worked 13 days in a row. I was totally getting burnt out on work, so i'm glad i was able to take those days off and totally get my party on. Work has been goign ok lately. I think one of the managers has it out for me. He hasnt written me up or anything, but he keeps on giving me the shit jobs. I dont complain or anything. Also this is the same manager that has assumed control of scheduling our department. He totally has NO clue what he's doing. For some odd reason, he will schedule 3 ppl to be working in the middle of the day when the store volume is low, and then when the store closes (high volume) he only schedules one cashier?! It was funny i overheard the store manager and asst. manager talking about going over the schedule and making sure it was good enough.

In other news, School is starting next week! I'm semi-excited about this. I want to get back into the school environment, and get my learn on. Work towards my degree and move on with life. I'm not excited about the homework though. It's all good though, hopefully i can stay on top of things this year. This year i'm taking 12 hours. I was originally taking 16 hours, but the school elected to cancel one of my courses, and not inform me untill yesterday. I figured it out early when i printed out my schedule to get my books. Speaking of books, i ended up spending $300... GAH. That was all used books except for my math book, that one was around $100. All-in-all i'm excited. I think i'll need to attempt to sell back some of my books from last semester.

SARAH IS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK! w00. I'm immensely excited about getting to see her again. I went out to visit her in maryland, and she's coming out to see me! I'm not really sure what to plan for the both of us. I'm pretty sure we're going to go to 6-flags, and i'm going to borrow Billy's jet-ski, but *shrug* that's about it. Probably a bunch of relaxing. Sarah has been working quite hard, and this is her vacation.

So that's what's on my agenda. I've got the day off today, so I think i'll stop by that book store. and get PENNIES BACK ON THE DOLLAR... gah.
