Today was an interesting day, because last week, i showed up to work late two times in a row. Which i belive really pissed off my boss, he told me "to never let it happen again". So i wanted to make sure to watch my P's and Q's. So after a long day of school on Monday. I wake up super late on tuesday (one of the days i work. I Woke up at 12:30, and my usual time is 12:00 that i have to be in there, so i call franticlly, and tell my co worker, i woke up late and that i would be in as soon as i could be. But after about 45 mins of not being able to find a ride or anytthing, I get a call from my boss, who was pretty angry. He has just reason i believe, but he calls, and basiclly tells me that he thinks its real dissrespectfull not to be resonsiable and call in earlier to say i wasnt coming in on time. Because i am a "vital" part of that store and they depend on me. So he basiclly threatens me, using anopther co-worker (who is about to get fired) as a reference, and it really scared me.

So today i woke up extra early to try to find a ride, my mother told me my brother would be taking me today, but I know hes not reliable plus him and my sister just got back from Mardi Gras last night, so i expected him to be hungover/tired. So luckily after some frantic texting/calling andy was able to take me to work. Im pretty sure if i showed up late today i would not be working there any longer. So I go with andy to run a few errands, he goes to Verizon to get his phone reactivated, because his charging port on hsi phone broke again (i had this same proble, its a hassle and NOT fun). But all that aside we got in and out of there pretty fast, then we went across the street to Kinkos to mail the other phone back, i guess if you dont, they amek you pay for the phone, interesting to say the least. So after that he takes me to work, i get there 10 minutes early, which i think was good.

Work was actually pretty chill, i got alot done, even though there werent many customers, it was a productive day. i tried to get as much as i could to show Bill (my boss) that i really do appreciate this job, and that i really care about it. So for hose of you who dont know what my store looks like, this is the area where i work.



I Was lucky today, cause everyone felt liek Veggie Era, Which is areally good (yet expensive) Vegan Chinese Food place located in Upladn California.
Check them out here http://www.veggie-era.com/
I got lemon grass chicken (personal favorite) and chickenless fried rice.
After we ate, it was back to wrapping (term we use for packaging really).
This is about a full days work for me



So after a very productive day, yet very low customers, we close up. I buy some stuff (when do i leave the store without buying anything?). I got the new Hit Me Back ep 12" and the pg.99/Waifle Split CD. Both great buys by the way. So after i get all that squared away, me and my boss head home (he lives two steets down,s o he gives me rides somtimes). This is the view on the way home, he has a 60's something Falcon convertable, its a beautifull car, so this is the view on the way home on the street.



So i get home, throw my clothes off, get comfortable and make some rice. It was a nice day, pretty relaxing for being at work actually. Sitting at home and listening to neil perry is quite nice. So i cant complain.

PS neil perry is a band ive really gotten into in the past few weeks they are awesome, check out this video of them.
