I haven't had any free time off lately.  Julie, my store manager, has been off on a vacation for 2 weeks, so Blockbuster's has been hardcore out of control.  Mark is the assistant manager, and he's been going on a power trip since she left.  Julie said absolutely no overtime while she's gone, and Mark set up his schedule so that he'd get some, and because he set up his schedule like that, our other managers are working illegal hours of opening and closing on consecutive days.  The store has been pretty hectic cuz things aren't getting done, and he uses other workers as his clean-up crew.  Whatever he doesn't get done, he throws it all on the others to finish.  Since Mike, Marisa, and Carol left Blockbuster I've been upped a shitload of hours.  I'm working almost full time, which I'm not supposed to be working.  I used to get about 20 hours, but I'm pushing 40 hours now.  It should get better once Ryan, Jessie, and Beau start working.  I bring home a hefty $400 every 2 weeks now, but of course I don't get to keep any of it.  I get an allowance of $50 per every $400 I bring home, and that's only to use on necessities (rebuilding PC for school).  I wish I had the luxury of getting to buy clothes and other recreational stuff.  I can't go to school this quarter cuz Physics dropped me due to lack of students in that class.  There were only 3 or 4 students that signed up for it, so they cancelled it.  I didn't mind it being cancelled, but the bitches told me so late that I couldn't change my classes in time for school to start.  This quarter is basically hardcore working and no relaxing.

I get to attend Corey's Birthday Party on October 9th.  First party I'll be at in a long time where I'm not working.  I bought him 2 birthday presents already.  I got him Ninja Turtles and Terminator 3 at Blockbuster.  Hardcore discount and he's gonna love it.

There was a family party on my dad's side today.  I actually got to attend this one, but not for long.  I stay for less than 30 minutes cuz of work as usual.  For some reason, no one likes to tell me ahead of time about parties, so I can never attend anything anymore.  I got some good food, $100, and didn't get to talk to any cousins cuz I had to leave for work.  I stripped and changed in the parking lot cuz I didn't have time to change.  Duy was supposed to pick me up and take me to work, but my dad did instead.  First time I saw my dad in almost 6 months.  Got work again tomorrow.  Come visit me please.  It gets lonely, fast.
