So I started one of my jobs yesterday and while I will NOT divulge where I am working, I will say this. In two days, I have gotten severe blisters on my two baby toes, got propositioned by a bum in an elevator, and saw some drugs for the first time in my life. All I can say is this is going to be a very interesting summer. I hope job #2 is a bit tamer.
But BOY was it fun!

Randomness v.6
So why is there a lady at my job named Cliche? Please remember that I work in RICHMOND.... Also tell me why there were peanut shells in the ladies restroom stall a couple of days ago? Was someone relieving themselves while shelling peanuts? I am just trying to figure that one out.
June LSAT advice:
1. Do not try to guess the experimental section of the test because you will get it wrong. Please trust, I tried and got a 48 percent on the Reading Comprehension. NOT HOT. Luckily, I got a 97 and 92 percent on the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning respectively my score still averaged to be OK (well better than OK but whatever).
2. Don't stress on the stupid people asking questions. They are trying to psych people out and prolong the instructional part of the test because THEY aren't confident. I mean really, the questions they be asking were answered in the first part of LSAT class and in the first chapter of home study guides.
3. Get there 5 minutes early... not an hour, 30 minutes or even 10 minutes. 5 minutes. Anymore time you are going to start wondering and making yourself unsure of yourself... and that is not too good.
- It sucks that Barnes and Noble sells every possible subject matter in study guide form but they don’t have any introductions/study guides for substantive law courses. Dang, I wanted to get some background on some subjects because Imma be straight LOST in Civil Procedure and Torts and Property. And wouldn’t it be a trick-a-docious if I got those three my first semester?
- Is it just me or was Real World Denver one of the most relatable casts in the past 10 years? The ones before them were just dumb, but at least they had some substance. They actually HAD a job… not producing a SxSW video that they probably didn’t do, or running a ship. I actually made it a point to watch it bi-monthly. I wasn’t addicted to it where I watched it every week. And Tyree is kinda a cutie. That body thickness is a bit frightening though… And I recant my statement that Vegas was the worst season. NO NO. That title goes to Chicago. That was awful. All I remember was Aneesa’s nakedness and Tanya's kidney stones.
- I absolutely hate (and I don't like to use that word) when people go out in public in pajamas. Pajama pants is one thing, but full pajama top and bottom is just not cute. Also, I don't understand this "new" fad of wearing a towel outside when it's cold. Wearing the towel like it is a shawl. And it be those ugly Scooby Doo towels and stuff. It is NOT cute. I was walking to work (remember once again... Richmond) and I saw this little high school like chick was outside walking and she had on house slippers, pajama pants a ratty old tee-shirt and one of those small ass Baby Phat puff coats WITH the Scooby Doo towel thing over it. Just looked straight awful.

Can I Introduce Myself?
So the wierdest thing happened to me today. I'm walking down the hallway of my job (my job is so boring, I take breaks by walking across the whole building for fun sometimes) and I see this dude walking toward me. Note: I see this dude sometimes on my daily walks and I always thought he was kind cute or whatever. So Im walkng down the hall and I pass him and then I stop by a window for a minute hoping to lengthen my little walk. And out of the blue... I hear "Excuse me". So I turn around and it's the dude. So he asked my name and blah blah and that was it. THAT WAS IT. Never in my life have I had a cute guy just come up to me ask my name, what department I work in, and stuff like that. NEVER. Well, it happened sometimes in MD, but NEVER in CA. In CA, you get those dudes that really just try to holler at you at every possible oppertunity. No one ever just asks you your name or anything like that. Even the not grimey dudes just come with lines and junk. I was just so shocked... one, dudes dont introduce themselves anymore... and two, he was a cutie.

Ladies wearing men's cologne... tsk tsk
There is this lady at my job that wears men's cologne and it is kinda confusing. It smells GOOD, and I always turn around to see who it is and it's a LADY? Do you know how disappointing that is? You turn around hoping to see a nice looking man, and it's a LADY????? Just rude...

The Land of the Crazies
OK, so I have been working at my current job for six months now... and honestly, I love (or loved) it. Now that my buddy is gone, it has been a little more stressful... and I will tell why... NOW.
Ok, last Thursday, they got a temp to come in. Everytime someone new comes into the office, the HR manager (who is mad cool and chill) sends out a copy of their resume to everyone. So I am reading her resume and I notice that she has been working since 1992. Not bad, but I just take note that she is going to be a great deal older than me, since in 1992, I was in 2nd grade. Anyway, the second thing I notice is that she stated that she had some kind of a typing certificate. I didn't know exactly what that was, so I just left it alone.
That night, I was going to hang out with my boyfriend, so he picked me up from work. I was just telling him that I was sad to see my friend go and that a new lady would be coming in and that she might be old. Then I told him about the typing certificate, which he agreed was rather odd. Who does that.
Fast forward to Thursday,I come in and she is sitting at the front desk... formalities are exchanged and I put my stuff on my desk. I come back out to the reception desk* to speak with her and I notice there are pieces of paper all over the desk. Scratch that, not paper, but tissues. Long story short, that day did not go well... she said she self medicates, she leaves snotty rags everywhere, she is OCD and ADD and any other "D" you could possibly think of. She is a bonefide crazy lady. I can't even go into serious details right now because that would take up way too much typing.... and I do not have the time or energy to be worried about her more than I already am.
But all I am saying, is that there is something wrong when you are upwards of fifty and you are still working temp. Yes, I understand that some situations may require this, but being a permanent temp signals a problem. That means that no one wants to keep you around because of something you are doing. And I think I have a notion of what exactly that is. She has no freaking manners or social skills. Like I said, she leaves tissues everywhere and hawks all in public and blows her nose right next to people and every other nasty thing you could image. I told her she could eat her lunch at my desk since food is not allowed at the reception desk**. Anyway, so she left her nasty food on my desk and said she was saving it... just all in the open. She didn't even try to cover it up. And the social skills are lacking too... the lady has been there and she is trying to take things over. I mean seriously, relabeling stuff and everything, I had to lay the law down a couple of days about that. And she mocks people like when they have no relationship at all. It's BAD.
She has been a big pain... she doesn't follow directions and doesn't really have social skills. However, I feel bad for her because there is a reason that all of this occurs in her. I just don't understand what is lacking where people just aren't aware of what is going on around them
It is just overall not cool.

*Let me clarify by stating that I am in a Office Support/Research Support position, which means that I do preliminary research for the company as well as any administrative work if needed.
** I cover the front desk when she is at lunch and on break.

Buddy
Just thinking, but I am pretty sure that anyone can fall in love with anyone. Seriously. I figure since you can pretty much become friends with anyone... even someone who you usually wouldn't be friends with... why couldn't you do the same with love?
This came to mind because my co-worker left last Friday and I was soooo hurt. It isn't even funny. We work in the same department and were pretty much around each other from 10-5 from M-F for six months. We developed this friendship and it was actually pretty strong. And not the kind of friendship that I have with EC, but a good solid buddy buddy type relationship. This may not seem like anything, but the guy is a chubby Filipino guy. When I was in K-8, my best friends were Asian girls, but since then, I haven't really developed a close relationship with one, even my Sophomore year roommate and I had a cordial type existence and nothing more. And I have never had any friends that were Asian GUYS.
But the point is, that I became really good friends with this guy and I was really sad to see him go. I never thought that I would be able to have any kind of relationship with an Asian dude (but are Filipino's really Asian... I mean really. lol) , but I have been more than proven wrong. Which brings be to my subsequent point... then shouldn't any person be able to fall in love with any other random person? I figure since I used to be very selective in who I became friends with...and I became good friends with this dude, then anything is possible right?
----------------------------------------
And on topic with the title of the post, what is up with Musiq Soulchild making all of these songs about being friends and buddies and platonic relationships that really aren't platonic. I mean, does that get it? He must have used that line back in the day when it was actualy believable. Do females really respond to line of junk now? And why can't he just admit what he wants, trying to hide behind that buddy facade... it's just horrible.. be real with your life Musiq.
I will admit however, that I do like the song... maybe it is the beat... it kinda sounds like the, "Summertime" beat.
