Overall this morning has been good, it was preceeded by a purdy good weekend too. I saw Van Helsing with Jamie and Michele. Unfortunately Richy was right about the movie being completely horrible. It was funny though. They should of just turned it into a spoof on vampire flicks or something.

Ugh.. I’m now off to make hundreds of copies. I feel so smart. Yay.

Ok, so I’m back and I’m so annoyed at work. As usual. It’s funny, for all intensive purposes things are good with work in general. I got a raise, I get every other monday off. Yay, that’s great. But I still am completely unsatisfied and I don’t want to be here. I’m not some picky nut who can never be satisfied in a job. Yes I like the money that I make and I appreciate it, but there is something that matters more. I want to do something fun and I want to be in charge of it. My bosses aren’t evil people and they don’t need to be in order for me to want to do something else.

Making copies and media kits is not my idea of a good time at work. Ech. Oh I must talk about how irritating Roxy and Kimmy (ya know like Kimmy (or Kimmie) Gibler from Full House, she’s that annoying) were today. Well Roxy came in early in the morning and proceeded to stay for half the day. I got in early so I turned the tv on. So like a few hours past and she didn’t say anything, then it happened. “can we take a break from the tv?” Butthead! So I turned it off. She’s such a butthead, if she’s here tomorrow morning I’m not turning the tv on. I’m just going to play my music. I kinda miss my music anyway. For any day that she’s here I’m not going to fuck with the tv. I’m just going to leave it off and then my boss will be like “why isn’t the tv on?” and I’ll just say “oh I don’t know”… Roxy is such a turd.. I know I’ve said this before but it’s true, when she’s not complaining about how it’s cold in here (hello! we’ve covered this, she says it all the time, we know it’s cold in here, it’s ALWAYS cold in here), she’s saying how quiet it is in here, but then we get a tv for background noise and then it’s too loud…ohh.. her poor ears… what the fuck ever… She’s one of those parents who doesn’t have a TV in her house, or its that or they don’t have cable, something primitive. I don’t get people like that. You know it is possible to have a tv in your house and STILL manage to have smart, intelligent, active kids. Jackass, I think I even heard her talking to her daughter saying she couldn’t have a Teen Glamour or Mademoiselle magazine ’cause it was too smutty or something… What is she smoking?? And as for Kimmy Gibler, she wouldn’t shut up as usual. I had to make media kits for this presentation she was going to give tomorrow (but got cancelled! jerkoffs!) and I know thats why my mood has been particularly shitty today. And the fact that she knows nothing about using a computer just makes things even more perfect. I wish they would all take computer classes, I’m serious, they all need that beginners class we’re they start off by going “this is a monitor, this is a cpu, this is a mouse”

Luckily before Roxy couldn’t handle the noise I got to see John Mayer on The View. He’s so great and single! Always a good thing.

I finally got around to typing up my first draft of my entry into the Coffee House contest. I don’t think I’ve talked about it here yet. So here’s the deal. These two women in Sonora, California own a coffee shop/non-profit ceramics studio. They really want to focus on the non-profit organization and they don’t have the time to run both, so they’re selling the coffee shop. Instead of just going through the normal channels of selling a business they’re holding an essay contest to find a new owner. If you win all you have to do is pay a buck and it’s yours, with all the equipment, furniture, space, etc. Right now the coffee shop and ceramics studio are in the same building, but once the business is sold the ceramics shop is going to move out, so you’ll have the entire space. It’s the coolest thing ever. They haven’t even begun to tap the potential of this place. It’s located in the downtown Sonora area, and they’re already doing great business, without advertising or staying open for the local teenagers after school.

So I’m really excited at the prospect of winning this contest. The first part is the essay, where some friends of the owners will read the entries and separate them into two piles “might be a good match” and “might not be a good match”, then the owners themselves will read the “good matches” and then pick two to five people to come up and interview in person and show them around the shop to make sure they really want to take the place on. Then they’ll offer their pick the coffee shop.

So like I said I finally got around to typing up my entry, after handwriting different ideas in my notebook. It never felt right that way, so when I was typing it, it all sounded great. So I’m leaving work right now and I’m off to find some great stationary. The entry has to be handwritten.
