Love/Hate

I hate:

Waking up SUPER late:

This morning, I woke up at 7 am. Maybe not a big deal. Except my work shift started at 9. Maybe not a problem… but it takes me about 30 to forty minutes to get to work. I must have been extremely tired to sleep through 3 alarms. I don’t even know what made me wake up. Maybe it just felt like a good time to get out of bed.

I took the quickest shower ever. I didn’t wash my hair (because I was going to get my hair cut later anyway), didn’t have breakfast, brushed my teeth, did some makeup magic and was out the door by 7:55. I got to the mall at about 8:30ish, so I had breakfast. McDonald’s was the only breakfast place without a line, so I indulged.

McDonald’s Coffee:

Is it me, or does McDonald’s coffee taste like an ashtray? It may just be me, but seriously, every time I have coffee from McDonald’s I feel like I’m licking a warm liquid ashtray …. Not good. Horrible shit, not worth what ever I paid for it. And to top it off, the urine sample size cup that comes with a value meal doesn’t even make the nasty coffee worth drinking. I can make better coffee with a dog’s bathwater.

Arguing with stupid people:

Because you just can’t win. Ever.

I love:

Working in a mall with a recruitment center:

At first, I hated this. The mall I work at is mostly frequented by lower income people. This recruitment center opened at the beginning of the Iraq War, and the rumor was that it was opened to get “the poor people” to sign up for military service. I don’t really know anything who has signed up at that recruitment center, and I’ve never really anyone go into the recruitment center if they weren’t working there.

In the morning, when I got my McDonald’s breakfast, I sat down at the only empty table. At 8:30 the mall is full of mall walkers, and elderly people having breakfast with their friends. Two of the cutest sailors I have ever seen asked if they could sit at the table. Obviously I wasn’t going to say no. It was nice, akin to eating at the school cafeteria your freshman year in high school. I learned that the recruitment center actually houses a mini recruitment center for each branch of the military.

Cutting my hair:

In a previous post, I talked about how long my hair has gotten. Well, it’s still pretty long, but I got 2 inches of dry hair and split ends. It just feels good not being super frizzy. I love that when I brush my hair now, I’m not tugging and ripping out half of my hair. It’s so soft and silky.

Writing a Paper that’s basically rewriting your notes:

This week, I had a paper do for a class. The prompt was to write 2 pages or so about everything we know about X or what we know about Y (X and Y because it doesn’t really matter what the subject was). I loved this topic. At first, I was reading way too into the topic so I was really stressing out and ripping my hair out. After consulting with my professor about what the prompt was actually saying, I came to realize that the prompt is basically saying “beef up your notes”.

I beefed up my notes and made a 3 page paper. Score.
