oh shit. this is a rant.
i hate serving those "i'm hip; look at my monroe/nose piercing!", but i'm also professional; "look at my pencil skirt/silk top" girls, especially when they are in pairs. today one was waiting for her friend to pay and through some kind of scuffle or coincidence, ended up putting one penny into the tip jar while looking directly at me. in my eyes. while dropping a penny in the tip jar. i'm sure she didn't intend for that to happen, she was just being silly with her friend while i happened to glance at her at the same time and she happened to look in my direction. why did i even think twice about this? because i am super conscious of our roles.
i slept in by like two hours this morning, so i showed up to work very late and when i got there is very busy. everything on the "island" was empty including lids (lawsuit waiting to happen) and napkins so i started filling that stuff up when this lady commented on how everything was empty. yea. got it. working on it. so i fill a couple things rushing around. she's like "miss, this is empty too" and passes me the metal cream pitcher. i grab it and take it to fill it and it was over half full. i wanted to hit her in the head with it, i really did. why did she say that though?? to mess with me? well, it worked lady.
i also hate adult women who have braces. sorry but that's fucking lame.

"how was your day working?"
hello blog.
i am home alone and it feels amazing. the drug store closed early today because there is a christmas party, which i am not attending. i went for some delicious sushi with erin and then bussed on home for this amazing alone time.
i have been pretty grumpy lately and it mostly stems from my lack of alone time. there is a dude sleeping in my living room, AND he is SO french that i can barely even communicate with him. every day when i get home he sweetly asks "was it a good journey?" or "was your day beautiful?". sounds kind of adorable, i admit, but it's driving me craaaazzzzzy. crazazy.
ikea is also making me grumpy. jonathan and i splurged and bought a giant bookcase to put our millions of movies and books and video games and cluttery clutter in. when we EAGERLY and EXCITEDLY started putting it together we discovered one of the boxes was defective, so i've been calling them trying to get someone to come bring us the correct pieces... it's been 12 days already! it's half assembled self and random pieces everywhere are mocking me.. and adding grumpy points.
quick plusses: pierre (the above mentioned french dude) cooks us a meal almost every night, and he actually knows what he is doing. when he proposed hot dogs and kraft dinner the other night i was imagining it like my babysitter used to feed us, but his "saucisse & diner kraft" meal was pretty impressive. i mean, especially considering the ingredients.
also, i paid eric so now i only have my credit card to deal with, AND visa covered another portion of our ticket so i owed him a lot less. phew.
i bought a hilariously cute/ugly new tea pot with a built in strainer thing (i love tea but i don't know the lingo, sorry).
i finally read catcher in the rye, from a really awesome copy caylie lent me. it's old and fragile and i was worried the whole book was going to split apart every page i turned, but i'm glad i finally read it. i can't help but want to make out with holden caulfield every time i see the phrase "mad man", which i think it probably normal. i have some awesome books coming in for me at the library, not to mention all the movies. jonathan and i were on a big Murder She Wrote binge for a while, now it's just any movie i can think of. i love that guy.
well i think that's it for now. oh except that on the way home tonight i saw some kind of construction worker sitting on a bus bench and the headlamp on his helmut was turned on.
