Vacation

Less than 24 hours until we go to Myrtle Beach for a week. I can’t wait. No school, no internet, nothing but a week of relaxation and no work! With that in mind, talk to everyone in a week!
“Do What Tastes Right.”

After months and months of searching, I was finally able to get a job! It may not be my dream job, but its a start and at $7.25/hr, I can’t complain. Starting from the beginning is probably the best way to go about this, so that is what I will do.
Last Summer I applied at Subway, was interviewed, but didn’t get the job. After that rejection, I began looking at other places, asking for applications, seeing if they were hiring, but I was not able to get a job.  I even went so far as to go to the mall and enter EVERY store and ask for applications; quite sad if I do say so myself.
Lucikly, one day, my mother and I went into Wendy’s and were eating and the manager came into the dining area and my mom asked if they were hiring, and they were. A week or so later I was at my interview and I was hired on the spot.
Today was the first day of orientation and I have to say it was one of the most boring experiences of my life. First off, we learned how to wash our hands and then what to do if a customer comes in with a seeing-eye dog, basic stuff that is common sense, but they still need to teach. We then took a tour of the kitchen and it was crazy, the entire space was probably 10ft long by 4ft wide and there were somthing like 20 people crammed in there. To make matters worse, the floors were slippery and people were running all over the place!Â
After the tour, the did sort of a background check on the phone and were asked questions like, in the last 6 months have you or your family recieved food stamps, have you or your family recieved government aid checks in the last 2 years, and general stuff like that. Not too sure why they needed to do it over the phone as we answered questions like that during the interview, but its not a big deal.  Finally 9:00 rolled around and I could FINALLY go home. The entire ordeal was probably one of the dullest things I have done in my life, and the splitting headache I had certainly did not help any.
So tomorrow I go back and pick up my uniform and other stuff required to work, then after my trip to Myrtle Beach, I start work. It should be nice having extra money, but I still am going to miss having my summers completely free.
I love the cool spring nights…

…they are just so relaxing. Anyways, its been a few weeks since my last update (basically I lacked the will to write, code, or do anything productive).  At the moment I am lacking any will to write in a cohesive manner, and thus my everywhere-and-anywhere post begins.
First off, school. Still sucks. Nothing new. They didn’t offer inline skating and I was pissed and was then forced to take “Adventure Games.” Basically, its s teamwork based class. Normally I hate it, but this year it is especially bad. Nothing better than having to listen to whiny freshmen, let alone be forced to be within 2 feet of them for more than a couple minutes. Luckily the unit is almost over.
About 2 weeks ago, it was my 17th birthday and I can honestly say it is no different than being 16. (Note to self, update about page…) . After weeks of waiting, I finally bought a Zune. I am well aware it has a bad reputation (according to many), but I love it. I always had problems with Ipods in windows so I figured I’d give the Zune a shot, and I am impressed. It doesn’t seem as fragile as an Ipod which is nice, but… like the iTunes software, it is bloated and slow. =\
The Junior Prom was last Saturday and I have to admit, I had fun. In school, I’m one of the people who hate being around other people, let alone when I don’t have to. For some reason I was actually able to let my guard down and enjoy myself without worrying too much about what everyone else was thinking/doing. It was a nice change of pace—however I am back to my paranoid ways.
So that right there Ladies and Gentlemen wraps up my weeks in 7 or 8 sentences. Oh boy, do I lead an action packed life! </sarcasm>
