loooooooong post.
grah! jerry got fired yesterday. i am so pissed and also i feel kind of responsible because they were partly mad at him because he let me go home early.
in all fairness, i had things i needed to do. jerry was just trying to be nice. there were TWO whole tables in the whole place and things weren't picking up. the managers were IN A MEETING or we would have asked permission. we didn't feel permission was that important because people do this stuff all the time. one of the night replacement people was ALREADY there, just not clocked in yet.
mostly i think they fired him because he doesn't carry a tray for drinks even though they've asked him to a million times. but he's never been written up for it. i dunno, it's dumb. maybe they're trying to make an example of him. or maybe they're just "cleaning house" before all of the other college kids come back to town for the holidays, and back to zio's while they're home. either way, it was short sighted. and our GM didn't even have the balls to tell him. he made one of our other managers do it saying "scott really wishes he could tell you himself, but he's not here" even though he was at the meeting. he made them wait so he could leave first. how chicken shit is that? the kicker is that jerry always stood up for scott saying that he was just doing his job or whatever while the rest of us were calling him satan.
satan WOULD be a blonde 28 year-old man.

besides that, i visited one of my hs teachers yesterday. it was fun. he's a cool guy, i've always liked him. he's on myspace and we talk all the time. he told me he was going through some stuff, like a divorce. i don't know why he told me about it, he's usually very private. so i decided to go see him. he said that we should get together sometime (with sam, of course) to get drinks or "do whatever". if i didn't know him better, i'd think he was hitting on me. but he's seeing someone and i do know him better than that. so we're straight.
also, i spilled ketchup on myself at lunch. so i look like a huge slob right now. thank god i have no more classes today. or for the rest of the semester!
i'm changing my major to psychology. everyone is shocked when i tell them, but it's not actually that different from what i wanted to do before. i want to be a child psychologist who works with terminally ill children and their families. so i could still work in a hospital. i'm much happier now that i know i don't have to take any more chemistry, physics, or calculus. really, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. it was awesome.
and finals are coming up. i don't know how i'll do on one of them, but i'm confident about the others.
and my dad comes home REALLY SOON. i'm so excited!
