okay...i desperately need a new blog skin. this one is FAR too happy/kitsch/girlie and just completely not me as of lately.
so, tonight i had actual social interaction. i went to a movie after i got off work with my friend Amanda and her friend James. it was quite fun, actually, even though the movie was a tad on the lame side of life. we saw Transformers and though i enjoyed Shia LeBouf in his new found semi-sex appeal, the super nice cars they used, and the pretty visuals of everything blowing up and whatnot, the storyline was a bit too much for me. it was just super unbelievable and i have a hard time getting involved in movies like that. not to mention much of the acting was crap. the heroine of the movie couldn't act to save her life and the secretary of defense also could have used a tip or two. we had originally gone to see the new harry potter flick which was, of course, sold out. even for a 9:45 showing. i wasn't completely surprised, we didn't get to the theater until almost 9:30. i was disappointed we didn't get to see harry, though, i was excited about it.
today i started yet another new job. i am now working for Dr. Leonard's Healthcare. It's a catalog of home healthcare products used primarily by the elderly. so basically i take orders all day and chat with old people. i'm kind of excited. with a phone you don't have to deal directly with the person and if they're bitches we can send them along to a supervisor. i can handle phone calls with old people for 8 dollars an hour. and after a few weeks i'll train for customer service and move up to 8.25 and then a couple weeks after that i'll move up to 8.50 (provided my productivity is okay). so i'm pretty excited that i'll no longer be bagging groceries for 6.50 an hour anymore. i really hope that this perks up my summer a little bit. i've been kind of bummed out these past few weeks. i know exactly why i've been bummed out and there's really nothing i can do about it except be a decent person and move on with my life. just pretend it's not there. it's going to be the hardest thing i've ever done. in fact, i doubt i'll be able to do it at all, so my only other option is to find something or someone to distract me.
