As you can see from the title, you can deduce that I am a college student, who also has a fairly crappy job. I work in a local grocery chain store and I am a Courtesy Clerk. Basically, no matter what you hear, we are the store bitches. We do EVERYTHING. We fix the all the items on the shelves, sweep and mop the store, take out the trash, clean the toilets, bag groceries, gather shopping carts, carry out customers and we also finish off the jobs of the other departments that may have been left behind.
These are my stories I have decided to share with you, because you have an increasingly unusual life working in a grocery store. Especially a haunted one. But we'll touch on that later.
I Am A Fish Nerd.
Everyone has a hobby. Mine involves lots of water and scaly little guys & gals with fins staring at me wondering when I'm gonna drop in more little worms or pellets of num. I'm also a conventional nerd, I like video games. But what guy doesn't? However my guilty pleasure is Pokemon. I am an utter and complete Poke Freak. But don't let that put you off, I will refrain from talking about it unless something major is happening in the Pokemon world, like the release of HeartGold & SoulSilver, remakes of Pokemon Gold & Silver, on April 1st of 2010. ;)
Today was my day off, so there was not much to report upon, a friend, whom shall be known as Squeaker, came over today. She had never seen Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince nor read the books after Order of the Phoenix. So we watched that once she finished classes, ordered L&R Drive In for dinner, she had the Chicken Katsu and I the Teri Beef. Personally I prefer L&R to the traditional and infinitely more famous L&L Drive In. L&R tastes better for whatever reason.
After the movie we hung around for a bit and showed each other various videos on the infamous YouTube, while planning our preparations for auditioning for Avenue Q at Manoa Valley Theatre, opening March 2011. It's a long way away so we decided on getting into another show in the meantime to get our gears back running, it's been years since we last performed on stage and it's about time we "come out of retirement".
Afterwards she left for home, to get there before her current and long time boyfriend, we'll call him Grumpy, got home and realized she was still out and with ANOTHER MAN. GASP. He believes I'll STEAL HER AWAY from him for some odd reason, even though I could've done that YEARS ago if that was in either of our interests. So she gets home and we both tune in to the finale of the current season of Top Chef. Michael won, the cook neither of us wanted. She wanted Brian and I, Kevin, but alas, it wasn't our choice. Oh well.
So afterwards I spent some time cleaning, maintaining my tanks and am currently watching Julia & Julie and that movie inspired me to create this very blog.
And that is where I will end for today. My sleeping pills have started to kick in, and I need to be heading to bed now, tomorrow there will be more, for it is my last day of classes before finals and I will be working til midnight. So, catch ya later.
