11:09 AM - 01.15.2004 I was stressed that day because I was so afraid of not having enough money for Charlie's CD player (you all remember that and how my Dad flaked on me?), and low and behold, I was shit out of luck. I only had $300 and the CD player was $340 something. I thought of putting it on lay-a-way, but when I got to circuit city, they told me they weren't doing lay-a-ways. Fuckers! So, I ended up deciding on getting Charlie a whole lot of other things. I made out pretty good too considering I did have $300. Other then Christmas shopping for Charlie, my Dad gave me money for his Christmas shopping. So I ran around all day. And all day I just didn't feel right. I thought about it while shopping in Old Navy, but didn't think too much of it. But by Christmas Eve night, I wasn't feeling so well. Christmas morning, I woke up with a terrible sinus headache and a stuffed nose. Ugh. It was awful. I had a good Christmas present wise though. I made out pretty good.... Oh! And Charlie loved everything I got him *sigh of relief* My Mom and Dad surprised me with a gorgeous wooden futon, a white wooden shelf (that is beautiful) to go over the futon, clothes, dishware and appliances for when Charlie and I move out (Ha! I wish!), & tons of other things. Charlie bought me two Nicholas Sparks books, a penguin shaped pillow, penguin sheets, and some stuff that I forget. Christmas afternoon Charlie and I headed up to his grandmother's house for presents and stuff there. I felt so sick, but I managed to make it there. And once again, Charlie's family surprised me. I didn't expect so much! It was insane. His Uncle Tom and Aunt Bonnie, whom we never see, even gave us a gift (gift certificate to Applebee's). Charlie made out a lot better than me though. Holy shit. He got a HUGE cardboard box FULL of clothes. Microfiber shirts for work, T-Shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, socks, underwear. And then the best gift of all for both Charlie and I... A huge cardboard box filled with, tylenol, advil, excedrin, two bags of doritos, tostitos and dip, tons of candy. Ah, it was heaven. HeHe. I'm still munching on it all. By the time Charlie and I got back from his house, I was about ready to keel over. We ended up not going to my Aunt's for dinner because I wasn't anywhere near capable of even knowing my own name. lol. It was that bad. So we stayed home and Charlie tried to finish up my Dad's entertainment center we surprised him with that is now gone (and I'll tell ya'll about it later). Now onto my birthday... DECEMBER 26th! I woke up feeling worse than the day before. So yes, unfortunately, I was sick for my birthday. I figured gifts would make me feel better, but boy was I wrong. But before I go on, I have to inform you all that we were staying at his Aunt's house from the 26th to the 31st. Anyways, on the day of my birthday, I went to the doctor's to find out I had strep throat. After the doctor's we went to his Aunt's house for a little while. That night we went back to my house because my Dad said he was going to get a cake and we were going to celebrate. This made me feel a bit better. When we got there, I got a coat from Aeropostale that I had been wanting for months! And from Charlie? NOTHING! Not a thing. He didn't even so much as to get me a card! Ah, I was so upset. This is the second year in a row that he hasn't gotten me a birthday gift and selfish or not, I was disappointed (He felt really bad though and promised to make it up to me). So after the gift opening, it was time for cake! Everyone knows that I ONLY like ice cream cake. Cake itself sucks, and I hate it. Well, it turned out that my mother got me a carrot cake. Yes, a fucking carrot cake. *sigh* My Dad was so mad at her for not getting the ice cream cake. I didn't say anything though, and thanked her for getting it anyway. So yes, all in all, my birthday sucked even more than ever. I think I'm cursed with bad birthdays. And I have come to accept it. And I am super sorry for sounding like a bitch. It's just that I was in such a bad mood, and I was so sick, I don't know. I let the fact that I was sick get the best of me, I guess. I really did appreciate everyone's efforts. ANYWAYS... Somewhere in between then and now, Charlie and I went to see Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King. Which by the way KICKED ASS. I fall in love with Legolas every time. *sigh* If only Orlando Bloom looked like that all the time. HeHe. Charlie and I also went into NYC. That was extremely exciting. I hadn't been there in SO LONG, and everything was just as I imagined it. I absolutely love that city. Hopefully we'll be visiting it again soon. Oh and I am forgetting New Years... Charlie and I fell asleep around 11:30 and well yeah, that was our New Years. Party ANIMALS! Oh yeah! lol. And now to present day. My first day of college was Wednesday as you all know. I was so damn nervous. I even made myself sick the nigt before. Ugh. I really didn't feel like going back to school. But I did it, and although it was FREEZING, I made it through all 50 minutes of class. And I was relieved. So, I don't think it'll be as bad as I had thought. As for work goes... It was going pretty well. All the college kids went back last week, everything was back to normal (even though I was finally becoming friends with some of them). And then out of nowhere, we were getting hit with this inspection. So every employee file had to be up to date. I still hadn't had a physical, and Tammy even said I might be suspended if the inspector said so. I said okay and knew that if I were suspended, it was my fault because I was told in the beginning that I was going to need a physical. So, yesterday I went into work and LuAnne says Tammy wants to see me right away. I figured it was about the physical and I was prepared to tell her that I'd get it done next week. Well, I guess I thought wrong. I went up top (to the main Y) and Tammy tells me that I didn't have my child abuse clearance in my file. I then told her that I gave her the ORIGINAL copy of it over two months ago. She turns to me and says, "I don't remember you giving it to me, and I don't have it." I then again told her that I handed it right to her as soon as I got it. So she starts looking for it... meanwhile, I'm signing a piece of paper that says I am suspended until they get my clearance. And then I had to fill out another form for my clearance. UUUUGGGGHHHH!!! FUUUUUCK! I was so damn pissed at her! She was really sorry and everything, but still... SHE FUCKING LOST MY CLEARANCE! The single most important document that was needed in my file... she lost. And guess what? It takes a month for the clearance to come back! So unless she finds it... gues whos out of a job for the next month?! I'm so goddamn angry. Miss LuAnne was even mad. I just can't believe this happened. The best job I have ever had, and here I am sitting home because of her. Losing hours because of her. I don't hate her, and I don't want to be mad at Tammy, but I am. Grrr. So yeah, that's what has been going on. If you made it this far, thanks for sticking it out. I appreciate it! :) Sign my guestbook now! HeHe. Later, kids.
