The rest of spring break.

It turned out that there was nothing to worry about with my friend. As far as I know anyway. We ended up getting to hang out on Tuesday. I finally got a hold of her and we hung out at her house for a few hours. Then we parted ways, her to go hang out with her sister and me to go get some Subway and play guitar at my house. We met up again later that night and watched another movie. I would mention all the movies we watched but I’m writing this several days after the fact so I can’t remember which movies we watched on which nights. Oh well.

The next day we both worked in the afternoon. After work I went and picked up Chipotle because it was Wednesday and that is the day I always have Chipotle for dinner. Or at least most of the time. Probably 99%. After that I called my friend because I said I would. I think that was the time when I talked to her sister because my friend wasn’t there and the sister said she would let her know that I had called. My friend didn’t get the message until about three hours later. I had heard stories about how bad her family was at letting her know someone had called but this was my first experience with it. It all worked out though. She was able to come over and hang out. I think that might have been the night that we watched Clue.

I had Thursday off from work. I didn’t really do much. I probably should have started on some of my homework but that was never really a realistic option. Instead I watched movies, messed around on the computer, and transcribed a song for guitar. It was a pretty good day I think.

Later on that night my friend came over. She brought over a couple movies for me to choose from. I chose at random and it ended up being the movie she really wanted to watch. The only problem was that she only brought the case. She had forgotten that the movie was still in her DVD player at home. We debated for awhile about choosing another one but ended up driving back to her house to get the one she had forgotten. She ended up getting it but she also got Willow, which is the one we ended up watching.

Friday I worked in the afternoon. I can’t remember anything too exciting happening during my shift. Near the end of it, and technically after it should have been over, one of my fellow coworkers confirmed how much of a douche he really is. The story goes as follows: The next day, Saturday, my friend’s sister, who I am also friends with, was having a baby shower. I had been unsure of the time so I hadn’t asked off. By the time I had confirmed the time, the new work schedule was already out and I had been scheduled to work during that time. When I found this out, I asked the before mentioned douche if he could take my shift on Saturday so that I could go to the baby shower. He said it wouldn’t be a problem. This had been on Wednesday I think. My friend also needed someone to cover her shift because she had been scheduled in the afternoon as well. The only person that could do this was the douche so I got someone else to switch shifts with my so I could work at night and he would work in the afternoon. Then all we had to do was get the douche to take my friend’s shift, rather than mine. Well, he waited until Friday night to tell me he had family issues and wouldn’t be able to take my shift. What a douche. If it’s a family thing, I’m cool with that, I can understand. But he’s a lying piece of crap. He always comes up with different excuses when he needs me to work for him or when he can’t work for me. I always assume they are bullshit but I give him the benefit of the doubt. This time he was just retarded about it. My friend was pretty pissed about it and made him feel awkward a few times which was pretty funny. Later, after I had left, for some dumbass reason, he ended up telling my friend that the reason he couldn’t work for her so she could go to her sister’s baby shower, was because he had found out his friend was having a birthday party. That doesn’t sound like a family issue to me. Thanks for lying. Also, the party didn’t start until 6:30. He would have been off work at 6:00 at the latest. Plus, no one goes to a party on time. You always show up late. That was all pretty annoying though. Why would he even tell her about that when that was preventing her from going to something actually important. He’s a dumbass douche. Pardon the language.

To further the douche thing a little. After he told me he couldn’t switch, he then told me that he was watching his friend’s dog for the weekend. The dog has a bark collar so every time it barks, it gets shocked. This douche thought this was hilarious. I’m annoyed by dog barking on occasion but if you have a dog, it comes with the territory. You should be allowed near a dog if you would even seriously consider putting a shock collar on one.

I ended up hanging out with my friend after work and we watched A Mid Summer Night’s Dream. I spent most of the movie trying to convince her to let me take her shift. She had gotten the other guy to switch shifts with me so I had the afternoon off. This meant that I could take the first part of her double and she could go to her sister’s baby shower. She didn’t want me to do that and said that she could hang out with her sister another time and that she wanted me to go to the baby shower. I am friends with the sister but if my friend wasn’t going than I wasn’t going to go because I wouldn’t really know anyone else there. This meant that either I take her shift so she could go or she could keep her shift and neither of us would go. She eventually agreed.

Working a double wasn’t too bad. It was the first time I had worked a shift as an usher in awhile though. My knees really didn’t appreciate the whole standing in one place for six hours thing. I survived though. For the first part of the shift I had to listen to one of my fellow coworkers try to come up with an elaborate scheme of how another coworker was going to ask his girlfriend to prom. The reason for this is that the scheming coworker had previously ruined the surprise that the second coworker had already come up with, by mentioning it to the guy’s girlfriend. The new plan, which was only ever really in the scheming guys head, was way over the top, unrealistic, and completely ridiculous. It was kind of fun giving him crap and trying to add even more stuff in just to see how much he would go along with. I could never get him to agree to bringing in lions from the zoo.

After work my friend came over and we watched Weird Science. That is a great movie. One of the best movies from the eighties.

The other day when I was at the store standing in line to check out, a little boy came up to me, hugged my leg, and then said “Da-da.” It was a pretty odd moment. The look on the mother’s face was pretty priceless, she was definitely embarrassed. I thought the whole thing was pretty hilarious. I just wonder if I look anything like the dad or if the kid does that to any male he sees.

I spent most of work today (Sunday) upstairs. The douche was working and I didn't want to spend too much time around him. I did get some homework done so that was a bonus.

After work I went over to my grandma's house for dinner. I'm still not a fan of family gatherings minus my grandpa.

Now I should be working on my study guide but I can't seem to find the motivation.
