wasn't that insightful?  argh.  i've done so many of these things, and they all start to say the same thing over and over again after a while.  i should write something meaningful in here, but i haven't felt up to it lately.  i would do a survey tonight, but there's no one online.  i'm such a loser, i swear to god. 

i hate working so late.  i really would like to go to jenny's tomorrow night.  jeremy and liz are gonna be there, and hannah and billy might go, too.  but instead, i'll be up at bob's.  ah well.  at least i get to work with lisa.  that'll be bling blingin'.  reminder:  when sheetz gets back on AIM, ask him if he manages tomorrow night. 

today, sheetz and sheetz were told that they show favoritism to lou, lisa and i, and have to stop.  i swear, they're blind.  junior stands around and talked to max all night tonight, and if he wasn't talking to max, he was hitting on oksana.  hey, i'm not russian and/or a young, teenage girl, so i get no respect from junior.  rick just hates everyone.  so, if marius and sheetz aren't nice to me, who will be? 

i cease to care.  i'm starting job hunting right now.  i need a good paying job for college, if i'm going to work my way through it.  bob's doesn't provide that job.  max is putting in his two weeks, also.  maybe he, lou and i can all put them in at the exact same time, just walk into rick's office and hand them to him.  wouldn't that be grand? 

still gotta read medea.  like ten times over the course of the night this evening, kim was like "you gonna go home and read that and tell me what it's about!  HAHAHHAHAH!"  i don't know why she thought it was so funny.  i wish she'd shut up and leave me alone already.  i loathe talking to her, and avoid it like the plague.  why does she think i like her?  why does she think everyone likes her?  leave me alone, please. 

i've got a rough sketch of what to do for senior week.  hannah said i could come with her group, which i guess is billy, jami kring, mindy moore, tiff hassis, nikki border, and maybe some other people.  the only single guy in that group, and i still wouldn't get a kiss all weekend long.  hrm. 

rachel mentioned gspa going down to my trailer for a while, but that was some time ago.  i know amber has other plans.  same with lindsay.  liz, jason, probably, too.  i think we still want the group to go down to the beach sometime and stay our the family place, but maybe not over senior week.  i know michelle and steph have plans.  so, maybe i'll see if i can still go with hannah's group to pioneer town.  could prove fun indeed. 

speaking of vacations, i wonder if jen still wants to go to the beach.  if you read this, jen dear, e-mail me.  michelle and steph, you too.  i'd like to do it, if you all still would.  have your people call my people. 

amber just asked me if bob's paid me more than usual for easter, and sadly, they do not.  i think the highlight of my evening was when i told a customer, "screw dorito's, pizza hut, pepsi, taco bell, that whole damn conglomorate.  i hope they all go out of business, and bob's big boy with them." 

i hate my job. 

i hate capitalism...junior yelled at me today to not conclude an order with "is that everything, sir?" 

"the proper closing to an order is, 'could i get you  drink or an order of breadsticks to go with your pizza, sir?'" 

i hearken back to the days when we used to joke around about asking customers if they wanted a car to go with their cheesburger.  ah, memories.  good times. 

what other pointless crap can i put in here tonight. 

i've still got another random hero sticker to put on my car.  hannah gave it to me, i guess it's jimmy brenneman's and billy's new band.  i'll have to see them sometime.  i have to find the sticker, too.  wonder what i did with it... 

i think i've clean run out of things to say.  let me check. 

why yes, yes i have.
