Bad On Top Of Bad And A Little Excitement
The Bad
The water seems to have stopped working. I went to give Aubree a bath this morning, no water. Go figure. I’ll tell mom when she gets home so she can call the landlord. I need a shower. Boo.
I absolutely hate doing bottle and can returns at work. Hate’s not even a strong enough word to describe it. I absolutely despise it. If someone brings in cans we can’t accept, and it’s usually on purpose, they get not so happy over it. The worst part is that the people who usually return bottles and cans are using that money to buy more beer because they’re alcoholics. It’s the worst part of working with the public. One guy, who was nice although an alcoholic, got a little grumpy when I asked my boss to look at a bottle he returned because I couldn’t find the return thingy and I just wanted a second opinion because I didn’t think that he’d purposely return an out of state can. Instead of being nice I get met with, “I bought that here” and “If it’s that big of a deal, forget it.” One, it has a meijer price tag on it and two, it wasn’t a big deal. I was asking out of niceness. I should have just assumed it was an Indiana bottle and told my boss.
I hate bottle returns with a passion. I wish I didn’t have to do them. And my bit of getting panicky around people that I had in school is starting to come back. I’m very unhappy about that. I can feel myself withdrawing in a way that I used to when I was around large groups of people, except I’m not around large groups now. I’m just getting way too stressed out for no reason.
The Good
I, however, have got good news. I got a thing in the mail that was for writing books. Books on writing articles, stories, etc. A gold mine in my opinion. I love to write and the offer was buy one book and get 3 free. With shipping it cost me $19.95. So I decided to do it. I picked out 4 books that interested me the most and mailed in the order form with a check yesterday. I can barely wait to get the books. One books is on writing magazine articles. And I like the idea of writing articles more than books, so I am particularly looking forward to that one the most.
I need to go if I want to get any other stuff done. Have a great weekend!
