so here are some random shorts....

i'm going to apologize in the beginning of this story for the excessive gross girlyness of it. with that said.. if stuff like this grosses you out, stop reading. it's not a lot of details or anything.. but just the mention of it. i generally like to stay away from topics like this.. but this is pretty entertaining.

so... last night i went to into the gap after work because i had to get something. i technically still work there, and go to traning meetings every here and there, but haven't really worked a real shift in awhile. so the mgr tries to rope me into working because there aren't really any closers, and there are a few no shows or people who called in sick. whatever. she is begging me to stay and work, despite that i just got off of working a 10.5hr day and hadn't eaten dinner yet .. i was thinking about doing it.. just because i like my mgr, i felt bad for them, and i have a hard time saying no. i delay my answer a little bit, and right when i'm about to go say yes and clock in... i realize something is not right. i go to the bathroom and check and confirm that my monthly visitor "flo" has paid me a visit. i tell my mgrs that i can't stay because i have begun to surf the crimson wave at that very moment, and although i have emergency supplies in my bag, i don't want there to be any permanent stains. talk about perfect timing huh? although i was willing to stay, i wasn't really excited about it, so while these girly shenanigans are usually so dreaded, i was quite thankful to have a reason to get out of there and not look like i wasn't trying to be helpful. although i'm not loving these pains so much today.

today i tried to have lunch with beth. and i say tried not because either of us flaked... we spent my lunch hour together, but we didn't have any lunch. i got my discounted entertainment book in the mail yesterday and decided i wanted to get as much use out of it as possible. so i picked a place near my work that i had heard about before and heard was pretty popular. so we walk down to the beach and get a table and peruse the menu. things seem to be fine... we wait a little long to get our order taken, the water tastes a little not so great, beth wanted the street performer right next to us to die, and we sit and chat in the beautiful sun and have a lovely conversation. i figure this food wouldn't be too fast, but didn't expect it to be fantastically slow. even with only one waitress and a helper guy... it should not have taken THIRTY FIVE MINUTES for us to not get our food. after 20 minutes or so i ask the guy to check on our food because we need to go. he serves other people their drinks, brings out some food.. all not ours. finally we decide we should just get out of there because we still have to walk back to my work... and i go inside and tell them we're going to leave. the guy asks if we want the food and i ask him if it's ready.. if it's ready maybe we can take it.. if not then we're just going to go. the girl comes in like ready to give us the check, and beth says that she isn't paying for the food. so the girl goes "so you want to cancel it?" in this nonchalant attitude like it happens all the time. maybe it's not the place to go when you're on an hour lunch. i saw a few co-workers of mine there... maybe they were there just to drink. but the girl really didn't seem like she cared.. she wasn't even a tiny bit apologetic (not like the awesome pat and oscars lady who was super nice, really sorry, refunded my money and still gave me the food we ordered...) but was just like.. okay bye. probably pissed off thinking it was our fault. but we sat there for 45 or 50 mintues and only got water... because i asked the guy for them. so.. On the Waterfront Cafe in Venice.... booo to you for being so heinously slow.

but i am thankful to beth who went out and bought me lunch, and came back to drop it off, even after i told her to go home. what a sweetheart. :)
