Work Is Always a Treat

I can't say that today was a difficult day, cuz I didn't actually get away from the one-hour photo machine until the last half of the day. . .and even then not right away! I'd get four or five rolls all at the same time, finish them up, and then immediately get 4 or 5 MORE rolls in. This happened three or four times, and I was absolutely ready to scream. The only time I don't *mind* getting so much one-hour is when I have no other obligations besides ringing. But today I was supposed to be putting away the delivery for aisle 11, but it's impossible to get that accomplished when you have to run back and forth to attend to the photo machine every few minutes. I also had to be the second ringer from 1-4 because freaking Lisbeth decided she didn't want to anymore.

Rant: I am so very glad that she and Chris are finally, FINALLY over. Their relationship was nothing but head games and drama practically from the start. Why the hell they stayed involved as long as they did, I will never know. (hell, I will never understand why people make relationships so difficult, especially the girls I know. I actually feel bad for guys-- I think if I were male, I'd want to be gay, because girls our age are freaking insane. Do you really have to read He's Just Not That Into You to understand that?! Ho-ly), And Chris doesn't seem like the type of person to sit around and take that kind of treatment. I stay out of the mega-drama it's caused at work, but he told me a lot about it today, and damn. . now I'm glad she's leaving after next week. Ending this rant. . .

Okay, I have to review two candies I've recently tried for the first time. The first is the fabled Wonka Donut, which I mentioned previously. I thought I was going to love it, but that wasn't the case. It's basically a chocolate "donut", the inside of which is a softer chocolate, kinda truffle like, and the outside is speckled with rainbow colored candy sprinkles. My main complaint was the size-- it's not exactly huge, but by the last bite, I had already had quite enough! Maybe it's cuz there's not a whole lot of variety from bite to bite-- it's basically just a big ring-shaped chunk of milk chocolate, so it gets slightly boring. For $.50, there are many other chocolate bars I'd rather buy.
The second was a package of Cajetas Elegancitas-- literally means "Little Elegant Boxes" in Spanish, and there's a picture of some random Hispanic star on the front. No idea what that's all about, but the candy was good! We've had these for a long time, but with a full 35% of your day's sat fat, I always balked (most of my favored chocolate bars only have about 25%, and yes, that 10% makes a difference!). Anyway, there are two sticks to a package-- vanilla wafers coated with milk chocolate on the bottom half and with more drizzled along the top half, with what I believe was a creamy chocolate layer between the two wafers. It was very different from any more typical chocolate bar and yeah, I'd get it again. They're currently on clearance for $.29 at all Brooks stores, so I say grab a few now before they're gone for good.

Maybe I should just be a food critic. :p I cannot wait for the new Ben and Jerry's flavors to come out, but with my luck, only the Apple Crumble-esque one will be released in pint form. Yeah, haha.

I am glad you noticed that most girls our age are in fact insane, and make relationships complex and full of games lol. I don't even try anymore, I swear I have developed a kind of dating shell shock from some of the stuff I have been through lol.

I should add that you are one of the most sane and logical young girls out there today. :) And I know, as I've encountered many of the girls like the one you work with!

hehe, thanks. I beg to differ on the "most sane" part but I'm willing to let it slide. ;)

Oi, there is so much I could say about relationships, but it would be another whole entry! I've been fortunate-- for the most part, all of mine have been pretty good. What can I say, I'm a big believer in fairness/equality (maybe cuz I'm a Libra, haha) and honesty. I don't see how a relationship can be worthwhile *without* those qualities, but I've heard so many horror stories from others, I guess I'm in the minority. And yeah, I do think it's true that girls are usually the worst ones. This is why I have very few female friends! O_o

Don't give up hope though; I think not stressing out over it is the way to go. My two longest and best relationships began when I wasn't looking or was interested in someone else! hehe Of course, it's easy for me to say this *now*, but since I'm gonna be single again in the near-ish future, we'll see if my tune changes then. :p

btw, I still can't break myself away from the UNI's annoying website! I'll have to read it more seriously tomorrow.
