I was able to pull straight A’s this semester, 4.0 GPA and raised my overall GPA to a 2.75 (do they round that shit? lol). I’ve requested to have my transcripts sent to MSU which should be done within the week, so now I just have to call and get them to change the semester I applied too from Spring to Fall and write a reconsideration letter due to a change in GPA. Cross fingers that I get in this time around, I should - I’m keeping my head up this time unlike last time!

On a side note, work is lame…okay well maybe not work but the people are lame. Unfortunately for me by working at Old Navy I get stuck working with a lot of people who are fresh out of high school or still in high school which means there maturity level is down here (raises hand 3″ from the floor) compared to where I am. I’ve always been told I’ve been mature for my age especially when I was in high school - sure when I’d get around my small group of friends (when I lived in KS) I could act a fool just like anyone else but in general, I was mature I guess compared to other high school kids.

I don’t have time to mess around with “stupid” people, I don’t have time to waste when it comes to work and life in general, I just don’t. I hate people who waste my time because they CHOOSE to act immature. When it’s 10pm and the store closes, everyone wants to get out of there ASAP not lolly gag around taking our sweet time. Sure…we get paid hourly and you assume that the longer we spend the more we’ll get paid, but most of us don’t care that much to spend ANOTHER hour putting clothes back where they belong.

What also irritates the fire out of me is that when I go to work, I WORK. I don’t play around, I don’t stand around talking (unless it’s to a manager), I keep myself, I find work to do. It pisses me off when I have to do the work for another person because they refuse to do it or think they are special and can throw their work onto someone else because they won’t do it, but know you will. For example, the person who is in charge of the fitting room is NORMALLY in charge of handling the infant section since it’s right in front of the fitting room. The fitting room (or at least when I’ve been in there) doesn’t get so busy that you stay busy through out the night, so you’re able to venture out of the room into the infant section. We’re not required to stay in the fitting room, we can leave if we need too.

So this chick is working last night and I take over the fitting room for 15 minutes so she can take her break. I realize the infant section is a MESS; clothes all over the floor, clothes in the wrong spot, t-shirts that need to be folded. I think to myself, wtf has this girl been doing all night - come to find out…she was just STANDING around, literally. I go and ask Pam (manager) if the infant section is included when you’re working in the girls/boys department (which I was) and she said yes. I told her that I wasn’t sure because I’ve been told that if you’re working girls/boys, you only do girls/boys since the fitting room person takes care of infants. She said that normally the fitting room person does infants but if you’re alright in girls/boys, go over there and fix it up for me. So I do…now I can’t complain too much since technically I was in charge of infants too since I was working in girls/boys, but I know when I was in the fitting room ALL week last week, ain’t a damn person come over and fix up infants when I was in there - I, the fitting room person, had to do it. And yet, there I was last night, NOT in the fitting room in charge of girls/boys still fixing infants because someone else refused to do it…

And it’s like I told Alan last night after I got off, it’s not like I’m getting paid more to do extra work. It’s not like I’m getting paid more for actually DOING my job and it’s not like I’m getting a pat on the back for doing stuff that other people refuse to do. I swear, if the managers - who are all really cool/nice - knew how many of their associates stand around and just TALK half the night while me and a few others that I know who actually do their job work, we’d be almost associate-less! I need a vacation, maybe I should look up Las Vegas hotels and head to Vegas for some me time - what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas after all. I’m kidding…I don’t think I’ll ever go there and if I do, Alan comes with me so he can win $1000 more dollars in the casino, lol.
