Well, I got up today to go to court for my ticket. As I was getting ready, I looked at the ticket. It said, 0900 5/12/00. FIVE TWELVE! Shit! What the hell is wrong with me? I thought it was five SIXTEEN! FUCK! GRRR. Now I’m going to have to take this to my lawyer and have him work it out. Cha-ching. $$.
Mom was looking through my school records today, and it shows that I was awarded 2250 per semester for one of my scholarships, but was only paid 1250! Looks like I’m getting an additional 4k this semester! Two thousand they, er, ‘forgot’ to give me, my usual 1.3k overflow, and an additional 1k that they were supposed to be giving me all along! When mom got off the phone, she mumbled “Teach them to make ME look through MY records!” Don’t mess with mom when she’s angry.
And my yay is, this girl that I thought I was in love with for like, three years came over today after class. I felt nothing. In fact, I was wishing she would leave the whole time so I could get back on the net. So, yay for me. It’s official. After three years of heartache, I can’t even see why I was ATTRACTED to her. HAHHAHA yay.
I’m not supposed to like russian girl, according to my female friends. I dunno. I’m really attracted to her, and LOVE spending time with her, and I’d really like to make something of us, but… she’s got completely different religious and political beliefs than I. I can live with that. No biggie. I’m tolerant. She’s got a boyfriend, but when I last talked to her about it, she wasn’t so sure how that was going. I don’t know now that he’s home, though. Maybe they’ve patched things up. I met him the other day. He just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy she’d be with. Then, finally, he left. We went to Burger King and ate and shared a piece of cream pie. Then, we went back to her place and played with her dog for a while, then things kinda died. I had the intent of asking her out for friday, but with the way the day just kinda fizzled at the end, I let it slide. Sides, I’m going out drinking with Keay on friday. Keay’s my boy.
Question for the TM - How much should I earn? I am currently making about 7.50 an hour. I’ve now got nearly a year experience in retail, am ranked consistenly near the top in sales, get beaming reviews from bosses and customers, and earn BB about 75/hr in service contracts ALONE. This does not include actual product sold, or accessories and peripherals. I’m thinking I’ll ask for 10/hr. My supervisors, I’m told, make 20/hr, and the dept. senior told me he was hired at 9.50/hr with 1 year experience when he first came on. What do y’all think?
