Thanks a lot

So I went 5 weeks without seeing Aeorpostale. Then last Thursday I saw him for 2 hours.
That was it.
The rest of the week he's been spending time with his friends before they all leave for college.

I called him today and was all like, "Hey, want to go to lunch before I have to work?"
He already had plans with somebody.

Whatever.
So I won't be able to see him again before he leaves for Stout.

Then I was like, "Well...maybe if I try to get off work tonight we can do something."
So I started calling people I work with.

NO ONE could work for me.

This seriously pisses me off. I mean, JT called me an HOUR before her shift started last week and begged me to work for her.
HG switched shifts with me for next Saturday...I work her 8 hours and she works my 4. Not exactly an even trade.

But when I need someone to work for me it's completely out of the question.

I'm not supposed to work tomorrow. But no one would work for Jenny and her husband's having surgery. So there was no way I could say no to that...but apparently everybody else did.

Aeropostale leaves tomorrow at 3.
I work from 8:30 to 4:00.

I just want to see him before he leaves because I know after this I won't see him for a very long time.

I really hate how I hear "minimum is going up!" I just wish it would freaking go up already!

Okay...I'm done complaining for the moment.
Today was so much fun. I got to see Aeropostale!

He opened the door and I just like attacked him. Then we stood there hugging and kissing for quite a while.
I bought him a present the other day and I gave it to him. He opened it and starting laughing.
I bought him a T-shirt that says "I <3>

So for a really long time we just layed there holding eachother. He would pull me really close and gently kiss my lips or my cheek. Then he would kiss my nose.
It was so romantic

But then he started to tickle me. So I tickled him and pushed him down so I could kiss all his freckles.

He kept pushing my hair out of my face. It was so sweet.
I tried to play with is hair *but he cut it off :(*. Finally he gave in and let me push it all over to one side and spike it up.


I missed him so much.
He leaves soon.

His family is going to their cabin this weekend and he was going to try to get out of it. But his dad was all like, "No..mow my lawn!"

Makes me sad.

Oh well. I really hope I'll be able to visit him in Menomonie.

I love him.

Again...work sucks

Thursday--worked at the fair for 6 hours. then went to the store and worked 4.5 hours
Friday--worked at the fair for 6 hours. then hung out for a while
Saturday--worked at the fair for 6 hours. had a massive rush of cars right as we had to clear a path for the ambulances
Sunday--worked at the fair for 6 hours. went home and cleaned
Monday--got called in to work at the store at 8:30

I'm tired.
I miss my boyfriend.
I keep having nightmares about my pets dying.
I'm pissed I only make $5.90 ($5.30 with taxes)

Aeropostale comes home Saturday. I work.
I haven't seen him for over a month.
I miss holding hands with him.
I miss him slowly slouching down whenever we're talking and not noticing he's doing it.
I miss him pulling me close and then kissing me on the cheek.
I miss him playing with my hair but then getting annoyed when I play with his.
I miss trying to kiss all his freckles (which I am still working on).
I miss him.

Because customers suck

Some customers are just stupid.
Seriously.
Like...there are ALWAYS the people who get up to the check-out counter and wait until the line behind them is very long and then realize they forgot something. So they usually go to the very back of the store and take forever.
Now tell me, would this same customer do this at Wal-mart or a grocery store?

Then of course there is the customers that walk up to the register that has a "This register is closed--please use next register" sign...PUSH the sign away, and then expect someone to check them out.
Are you that dumb?

Then some people go one step further. There will be a long, long line, but some customers will take their entire cart, take down the "closed" sign and then put all their stuff up there.
Now what am I supposed to do? Go over and help them when there are people actually waiting in line?

Idiots.

This lady came in today. She brought in her own mylar balloon she wanted blown up.
Cost of blowing up a balloon not ours: $ .75
Then she also wanted to buy one of our mylar balloons, but she did not wish to have it blown up.
Cost of mylar balloon with/without helium: $1.25

This woman KEPT exlaining to me what she wanted.
She expected that if she bought one of our balloons, she could just get hers filled for free.
It doesn't work that way!

So she gets pissed when I tell her it's $2.00 in balloons. So she's all like, "I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Is there someone else I can talk to?"
So I call up Debbie. Debbie just gave in and told me to fill up her damn balloon.

Then I went on break...and I figured this woman would be gone when I came back.
She wasn't.

And guess what...she's one of the people who count their stuff as they put it on the counter. This is okay with me...Except when they do it aloud.
So I'm trying to count *3...4...5...*
And she's going *11...12...13*

Now, doing this just increases the chance that I will mess up and over-charge you.

I was really surprised when she didn't hold up her 4 for $1.00 items and tell me how much they were.

I hate it when people do that. Every time someone tells me how much something costs I really want to respond with "Yes, I know...I work here."

Totally haven't posted in forever

Well, I was at camp for a week, so that kinda explains why.
Oh, and for those of you who don't know...I moved. Yay! My dad broke up with his girlfriend and we moved out like 2 weeks ago.
But we don't have a computer anymore...so I can only post at my mom's house :(

Anyway.

Story time.

So about...oh, I'd say a little over a month ago Aeropostale and I went out for lunch and then hung out in his garage for a while.
Well, when we were in his garage I noticed there were quite a few bikes. And he pointed out a bright orange one that he said he rides. I looked at the bike and saw a pink helmet with baby-blue polk-dots sitting next to the bike and said something along the lines of "is that yours too?"
Then we both giggled.

So...you might be asking yourself why this has anything to do with anything.
Well...I got called into work on Tuesday morning. So I was driving down the road and I saw this guy on a bike. I didn't pay attention to who it was (nor could I see who it was...I wasn't wearing my glasses :O)...but as I got closer the guy on the bike started waving very frantically.
So I figured I knew the guy.
I stopped at a stop-sign and waved back at the guy.
Then I realized who it was.

Dr. Trochinski (Aeropostale's dad) riding the bright orange bike WEARING the pink helmet.
So I waved and he waved...and I turned the corner and parked. I was laughing so hard I did not trust myself to be driving anymore. So I laughed for a while, put my car in gear, and drove the rest of the way to work.

When I got home from work I looked at the caller ID and saw that Aeropostale had called. So I called him back and said that I saw his dad on a bike.
His response: "Was he wearing that dumb helmet?" And then he went on to tell me that he's been trying to convince his dad to get a new one for a while.

Good times.
