Today is a complaint post. Tonight was hell at work. Tips were freakin' awesome, but none the less it was hell. Four girls came in being obnoxious and loud. They exclaimed how they go to Holy Cross, and I ran to the back to join Nathalie in hiding. They were trying way to hard to flirt with the guys, but their annoying, inane banter caused Paul to tell one of us to go out there and hit them all with a tire iron. I told him that I have a box full of tools in my car, take his pick. They kept tipping us to sing, but Nathalie and I refused to go out there. We let the boys take care of this, because you can't pay either one of us to go out there and deal with their shrill, screeching laughter. All I have to say is: those Holy Cross girls= crazy bitches!

I feel like I may be doing this a bit early, but I feel like I'm in the clear. Recap of my month long attempts to avoid Bitchface.





It's been a Bitchface free month! She hasn't come in when I have been working. I did catch her on facebook the other night, and I quickly averted my window to another site. I noticed that her chat option was on sleep mode, but I wasn't risking her changing that. I told this to Megan, and she congratulated me. She asked me if Bitchface knows how much of bitch I think she is, but I told her I didn't know. My theories are:

a) She completely forgot
b) She came in when I wasn't working
c) She found out from Isaac that I think she's a major bitch
d) She just got the hint

I'm leaning towards A. The month is practically over, she has to be going to Chicago soon. Classes will be starting next week. It's been a good month.

Carla text me earlier, asking if I wanted to go to the beach tomorrow. As much as I would love to go, I told her I can't. First and foremost, I have plans to hit up Hagerstown with J. Secondly, the beach requires spending vast amounts of money on nothing, whereas I can restrain myself at the Outlets.

I had to pick up my dad at Dulles after work last night. I made a quick stop at home to eat a quick snack and get Maxx. The car ride down there, he was too excited. As soon as we pulled into the arrival terminal, his nose was permanently pressed against the window. He had to make up for a weeks worth of kisses to my dad. I've been listening to the Rex Navarrete cd's he got me in Vacaville. I couldn't stop laughing on my way to work. He has this one joke about a headline he saw in a Filipino newspaper; guy dies while trying to ship himself in a balikbayan box. Before I continues, a balikbayan box is a moving box containing things you would bring back to your families; clothes, toothpaste, candy, toys, etc. This guy thought it would be a great idea to ship himself in a box back to the Philippines, but froze to death. His joke was the sermon during the guy's funeral. The priest would be singing everything that comes out of his mouth. The friends would ask the family, "Wat da puck was dis guy tinking?!" I couldn't breathe as soon as I pulled into the parking lot.

I've been reading "The Time Traveler's Wife" and I'm almost done. That book is so addicting. I'm kicking myself for not reading this earlier. I remember Jess telling me to read this almost 2 years ago. I can't wait to see how this compares to the movie. This is my absolute favorite line from the book (great reference to my future hubby), "When the woman you live with is an artist, every day is a surprise" (Niffenegger 286). Love it! I feel like it's very true. Just when you think you really know an artist, you come to realize that you don't.

Speaking of books, I still have my stack from the Strand that I have to finish. I also bought two more books from Wonder Book, formerly the Book Alcove. Wonder Book is Maryland's answer to the Strand in NYC. I do like the new owner and the way the store is. I feel like there's more selection. I had a brief conversation with the owner, and she was just lovely. I do remember her. Claire said that the new owner used to work at the Book Alcove, but bought it out. I remember having a conversation with the new owner a few years back when I purchased a book about Audrey Hepburn. What's great about Wonder Book is that not only to you have more selection on books, especially NEW books, there's movies and music for sale. There's a "Dollar room", which was the old antique room. Just about all the books are brand new books that never sold at other places, and there's the mixture of used books. She provides more selection on categories, as well. There's a huge section on graphic novels and manga in the front of the store. All the categories of the books have been changed around from what I remember of the store. She also sells bookmarks. The ones that I've seen besides the free ones they insert in your purchases are the Harry Potter bookmarks. She even has shirts promoting the store, like the Strand. Wonder Book's shirts have literary greats on the front. I think they all say, "Read as if your mind depended on it". I remember Claire wearing that shirt when we went to see "(500) Days of Summer". My favorite picture on the shirt is of a guy scratching his head in confusion with the "read as if your mind depended on it" on the front. I may go back at get a shirt one day.

Still listening to one of the Rex Navarrete CD's...this joke is about an "abused over seas worker for the Superfriends". OMG!!! I just found the "dat Batman...he is a gay. I'm sorry, I tink he is a gay! He's always hanging around that boy, Robin. I don't know , he's going down dat bat pole!" I've been trying to figure out who made that joke for 8 years. FINALLY!

I should continue my reading...while I still can.
