Well, I got what I wished for - more hours at work, but completely crammed into 2 days because I am leaving Wednesday to spend a week in Florida. Tomorrow (Monday) I work from 1 PM to 10 PM, then I have to get up on Tuesday and be at work at 6 AM! After closing at 10 PM - ugh! I'll probably end up getting like no sleep at all. Then after I get home on Tuesday, probably dead tired, I have to pack my shit to leave. At least I get a week off work after this =P

I don't wanna go to work today. I only work 9 AM to 1 PM today (yay another 4 hour shift!) but I hate working in the morning as opposed to the evening, because of all the damn old people. I mean, some old people are totally sweet, but others are evil, and they like to get up at 3 AM and go to Kmart for god only knows why. Kmart is probably the highlight of their day. Who the fuck wants to get up and go to Kmart of all places at 8 AM? When I'm old and shriveled I hope I have better things to do than that!

A job that actually gives me hours during the summer. And preferably not another non-commission retail job. This week Kmart managed to actually schedule me for 24 hours, but that's only because I'm covering someone else's 6 hour Garden department shift this Saturday. I want a job that gives me tips or rewards me (sales commission) for bending over backwards for customers. Literally, BENDING over and now I have back problems from lifting heavy televisions and vacuum cleaners out of dumbasses' shopping carts to scan the UPC. Only 20 years old (yeah, a baby =P) and I have back problems thanks to some stupid-ass part time retail college job.

On a more humorous note, today at work (worked 6-10 PM, a FOUR hour shift - waste of fucking gas money to drive 15 miles to the store) I saw 2 teenage punks doing this (watch the video!):




Of course, no one told them to get off the scooter like those Kmart Nazi employees in that video. Most of the people who use the scooters are just fat (sorry, not trying to be mean, but it's true, and fat ISN'T a handicap!). That fat employee in the beginning of the video looks like he could probably use the scooter. That's probably why he's so pissed and chasing the kid all around the store screaming at him to get off ROFL. If you are TRULY disabled you should carry your own wheelchair, because not all stores have electric scooters.

What's even more fucking funny is that I saw them filling out Kmart job applications like right before. Way to make a great impression on a potential employer! Fortunately for those boys, Kmart doesn't give a shit, just go inside your local Kmart and take a look at many of the people working there. Kmart just likes to hire warm bodies (to eat.. just kidding.. or am I =O ).

Hi folks, please welcome me graciously to livejournal.com, as I just set up my account here and this is my first blog post. I am new to this blogging thing, so forgive me. Right now, it's nearly 4 AM where I live, and I do not have any pressing issues on my mind. Hmm, I can tell you what I'm doing right now though. I'm reading a college textbook for fun. The textbook is, "A History of Western Civilization: From Antiquity to 1500." Yeah, I'm a little nerdy!

I've always loved learning about history, even when I was a child. I used to read encyclopedias for fun.. yes, I was an odd kid. I am a history/anthropology major.. well, not "officially," because I am still attending a community college, but I will be when I transfer over to university. I love learning (or at least attempting to learn) foreign languages and I love learning about different cultures. I'm more interested in cultural anthropology as opposed to archaeology (physical anthropology).

No, I don't really know what career I will be pursuing after college. I just want to have a career that allows me the opportunity to travel the world. Sounds kind of unrealistic, huh? Hey, at least I'm honest about what I want! Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity in my life to travel anywhere - sadly, I've only been to a handful of U.S. states, and I've never been outside of the U.S. border.

I would really like to do a study abroad program sometime in the future, even if it's only for a few weeks in the summer, if finances permit it. I've looked at a few study abroad programs affiliated with the university I'm going to be attending starting Fall 2008 (Central Michigan University - just got accepted last week). I was really interested in one program - a summer program at Kingston University in London, England. The classes offered look really interesting, but of course it's just a wonderful excuse to hang out in London! The Tower of London, the British Museum, and maybe I'll run into Prince William (yeah, right.. LOL!). Anyway, this is probably still a few years away.

I was also looking at study abroad programs in Germany, but I think I need to perfect my German a little before I go to visit. Wie geht es Ihnen? ;) Another one of my undertakings this summer - trying to teach myself German. At least I have my guys Rammstein to help me! Thanks Rammstein, now I can go to Germany and talk about gay men ("Mann Gegen Mann") or hermaphrodites ("Zwitter") but I could barely ask for directions to a restroom! Wo ist die toilette? LOL!
