saturday i did what i wanted to do all summer. my day was zoo-mania, for oh, about 6 hours. it was so beautiful and a thousand times bigger than the one in new brunswick. i got to talk to some of the caregivers who they were nice and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. the animals were awesome.

dear goodness, i am an angry proletariat. my job sucks royally or is super cool depending on which dinks i work with. i do not get paid enough to deal with clinically crazy and/or fucked up drug addicts all day. today someone jumped over the counter and yelled that he would bomb us if we didn't give him free coffee. yeah... three and a half more ( Read more... )

upon my seemingly futile search for a place to live i stumpled across a teeny tiny store about a block up from me. it's called the occult shoppe and i could smell incense wafting out so went in. it is part book store/candle store/bulk barn of assorted ingredients. they have the typical healing herbs right beside the dove's blood (by the vial) and ( Read more... )

today marked my first day on the job. jeez, man, it was nonstop from the second i walked in. it was extremely fast paced and there was always a line-up. i was on the cash most of the time or coffee duty or even making drinks. it's outrageously easy once you get the hang of it. my boss said tomorrow i'd start on the espresso machine. ummm.... can't ( Read more... )

i have been jobbed, a month and a half into summer. who's in any rush? how sad, no more weekend flings for me. but my boss is very nice and believes me to be very competant, which will be his ultimate demise. i can wait to smell like coffee every day of the week but i can't wait for free drinks. i WILL meet rick capenelli this summer, or whoever's ( Read more... )
