Fast and the Furious
Well, I was going to ask my boss for a raise today, but I chickened out. I guess I’ll try tomorrow.
I went to that job interview for the babysitting at 7pm like I was supposed to, but damn if no one was home. I’ll call her tomorrow and ask her what the fuck is up. I’m beginning to think I can’t take the job anyways. *sigh* I WANT to keep my job I have now, but I NEED more money.
Apparently a young 16 year old girl applied over the weekend where I work. She’s requesting $6.50 an hour. Elizabeth started -me- out at $5.30 an hour, and I’m only up to $5.45 now, so I don’t think this girl is going to be getting what she wants. I don’t know why Elizabeth is so god damn dense about these things. She thinks that people will work for her for breadcrumbs and she’s fucking lucky that I’ve stuck it out this long on the crap pay she gives. I mean OLGA made more money than me and she was nothing but a bump on a log. I want at -least- $6.50 an hour, but I’d like $6.75 or even $7.00. If she isn’t going to give it, I’m just going to have to leave. I’m worth more than this.
She does other crap that’s been bothering me a lot lately. Like sometimes we’ll have these stones that are a little dusty, and in order to see if they’ll shine up, she spits on them, and then sticks them back in the pile. I mean…..what the heck? She also brings her dog in all the time, who is spoiled and if he doesn’t get what he wants, he’ll start tearing the store a part, and she WILL NOT discipline him. Today he needed to go to the bathroom, and instead of taking him outside, she told him to just go on the floor and she’d just wipe it up.
Ugh. Other than that, I like working there 
My friend Steph, whom I haven’t seen since February stopped by just as I was leaving work. She invited me over, so we watched “Fast and the Furious” which I have to say is a fucking good movie. I stayed over there till about midnight. She lives in your neighborhood Jeanie Ah, memories.
On the way home some idiots decided to be stupid. Four guys in a small mini metro style car were tailgating me coming home, and eventually got into the lane next to me once I got into Westminster. Then for some stupid reason they shot in front of me to get into the lane on the OTHER side of me. I mean what the hell. This little fiberglass toy car cut in front of my 1978 fullsize ford bronce beast of steel. How stupid can you get? I didn’t slow down either because I am not tolerant of stupid shit like that. Why do kids do that anyways? I can understand wanting to cut loose once in the while, but what in the world do you gain by being complete and utter dumbfucks? It’s like they don’t care if they die. It really pisses me off.
So yeah, that was my day. Now I’m just waiting for ‘him’ to get home, if he does, and hoping he’ll call me.

Crys, what is the minimum wage in your state? In NC, it’s $5.15 (which sucks because it’s $3 under the absolute lowest living expense that you can get by on in this state without starving or becoming homeless… grrr), but in Oregon, it was $6.50. May even be more now. I understand staying at a sucky-paying job because you’re passionate about it–I edited the opinions magazine, designed its website, and acted as webmaster for four years at $5.15 an hour, but I LOVED that job. But if you just can’t make ends meet, It may indeed be a good idea to find something else. And, if you’re lucky, you can find something else that you are just as passionate about. It must be even harder for you, since you have your sister and father to worry about. I hope all of this works out for the best.

I agree with what you say - makes sense to me. Looking for some propecia?
