Very long day today.
Woke up around 2pm - went to get my car so i could drive it up next to my studio. Then took the next 2 hours applying touch up paint to my hood, cuz my dumbass opened the hood while the wipers were up and got 2 nice scratches on the upper edge of it. It looks better now.. but u can still notice it. Oh well.. i have enough scratches on my car that this shouldn't bother me too much.
Next i went to work.. worked for 9 hours.. technically 8 cuz i have a 1 hour lunch.
When all the customers left, and we were folding down the store, i busted out my korean pop CD.. and made everyone else listen to it. The coo thing about it was - for me time went by A LOT faster, cuz i was enjoying the music. However, all my co-workers listen to alternative music.. so it was a bummer for them. They liked the beat - but it wasn't "all that". Oh well - i'm gonna keep bringing my CD, cuz i've had to listen to their alternative crap music for the longest time.
After work - i went drinking with Pae and Judy to O-Doji.. it was a pretty coo scene, and now i'm back home.
OH yeah.. i went to the korean market today, and bought a box of Jha Pah Geti, and Shin Ramyun.. woohoo.. i was getting tired of just rice and eggs.

Old People Should Not Drive
A rather slow day today. Woke up very late.. around 2pm, and went to school to finish a project.
While driving to school - at the exit at Palo Verde, there was a lane that merges - and i was in the merge lane. Anyways, i'm minding my own business and going straight when this grandma in her huge buik started to get into my lane.. i literraly saw her driving with her 20" sunglasses and her breasts pressed against her steering wheel. I'm pretty sure she didn't even see me.. nor did she care, and after i busted into 2nd gear and took off - she probably didn't even know what she did wrong.
I swear, ppl who are that old SHOULD NOT be able to drive. It's just wrong and dangerous for the rest of us.
I went to school - finished the project, went to Taco Bell came home.. and that's about it.
I finished my Library research assignment i was supposed to do yesterday - and e-mailed it to my teacher. Hopefully he won't mind too much.

Overtime!
A rather interesting day today.
Went to school late - and found no parking as usual. Is it just me.. or whenever you wait on the side for a parking spot, and u find someone walking towards their car, another car always seems to just come straight into the parking lot and take your spot. After waiting for 15 minutes for parking, a car just came into the parking lot and went straight for the spot i was waiting for... how rude!
I almost fell asleep in my class again - my profesors mono tone voice always seem to bore me to sleep.
I went to work on time today - and was greeted by my manager with:
"We have a problem, you know how many hours you worked last week?"
"No"
"You worked 42 hours!"
"Oh really? I didn't know"
"Well.. your not supposed to work over 32 hours, so since you worked more than 40, we had to pay you 2 hours overtime"
"Ok, i'll try and not let that happen again"
Doh!.. i sorta knew i was having too many hours last week - but thought it was 38 hours and not 42. I was originally only scheduled for 15 hours, so i took other ppl's shifts to make up for the hours worked. Apparently i took a few too many hours. Oh well.. can't bring back time - i just hope this doesn't have any affect on my job status.
I just got back home - and we did very well today. 9 BRC's and $1k over our projected goal for the day.

Exhausted..
Woke up around 2pm, did my laundry - cooked some food.. and slept some more.
I was supposed to go play b-ball with Simon, but fell asleep. I called up Simon later tonite, and found that he was sleeping too.. haha how ironic.
Went to Tapioca Express after - and just came home. Very un-eventful day.
Tuxedo comes out this friday.. pretty excited about that.

Movie Review: Cont de Monte Cristo
Woke up at 2pm, cooked some pasta - went to work - went to aunts house and watched Count Mont de Cristo - came home.
It was a pretty interesting day at work because time went by so fast. We had mark downs today - which means everything on sale, went even more on sale. Pants that were $69 bucks that went on sale for $39 bucks were now at $19.99... and so people were coming left and right to shop at our store.
I was at the register most of the day - and the shopping line never decreased more than 5 people waiting. I am considered the Chino man at my work now. There are people who are in charge of jewelry, accessories, shoes, and other things. And I was honored to become the Chino master.. which gives me a bit more leverage on other associates. This came all about - after i showed everyone how to fold the Chino's in a way that they dont look crooked or uneven, the manager liked it so much - he put me in charge of them. Awesome.
It's funny at work these days.. when i get pretty bored, i have fun with the customers. Sometimes, they come in with a giftcard asking how much the balance on it is. And i tell them:
"There is a negative $60 balance on this card.. would you like to pay for the balance now?"
.. and then they give me the most puzzled look in their face - since gift cards can't have negative money - cuz you can only use it until it runs out of money. And of course, i quickly tell them it's a joke before they start crying. But it's pretty fun at work sometimes.
I met up with Simon and my cousins at Hollywood video after work.. and rented Count MOnt de Cristo.. and it was not a bad movie. Lots of twists and action it in, but it seemed like a remake of another movie i watched before - because i could literally foretell what was going to happen after every scene.
My Aunt gave me a basket of eggs.. now i can have eggs with my rice. That's it folks..

Drinking = Tardiness
Boy what a long day today was..
I had to go to work at 9:45am.. but after the drinking fest the night before - I just couldn't wake up in time. So i ended up just going to work 10 minutes late, and get bitched at by my boss. She goes,
"You know your late right?"
"Yeah.."
"Don't do it again"
Geez.. it was only 10 minutes. In all fairness, traffic, family, friends, whatever the reason, 10 minutes should be excusable. Anyways, later in the day, she calls me a chatter box and tells me to stop talking with co-workers and get more work done. What kind of a job doesn't let you talk with your co-workers? What kind of a boring job that would be..
I also messed up today - cuz the line at the cash register was pretty long, and while doing everything in a hurry - I accidentally gave someone 2 free shirts. I forgot the scan them - yet i remembered to take out the sensors.. DOH!.. I just hope that guy realizes it and doesn't do something stupid.. like trying to return those items with his receipt. Then i would be screwed [knock on wood].
After work - Pae came over my house and we chilled for a bit, until we went to watch XxX.. the movie was pretty good - a lot of action. But they made the movie a lil too cartoony.. there were some excellent stunts.. but a lot of computer art work aswell.
Now i'm home.. played CS for a bit, was 164-62.. not bad. Now i should sleep.
