I am lots of things

For one, I'm not exciting enough to have a blog.

Secondly, I'm definitely COMPLICATED enough to fill pages and pages of a blog.. but I hate airing my dirty laundry on the internet.

- - - So today I will just write about work.

Work is complicated. I like what I do, but I do not have any respect for my manager, nor do I like how my company treats their employees. I won't leave though. The longer I'm here as a supervisor, the better it is for my resume. I want to use this as a stepping stone to get me to where I really need to be.

As of next month I will take on more responsibility. I will begin doing the monthly manager schedule and the weekly schedules for the store. My manager is incapable of making a proper schedule, so it's being left in my hands. I'm pretty stoked.

Aside from work, I have no legitimate complaints about my life. I'm ok with myself, and I'm working on it. I'm extremely happy with Eric. I miss my friends, but I'm more worried about paying off my debt than partying. I want to be completely debt free by the time I'm 30. I know I can definitely make it if i stick to paying a little extra on things and not spending my money needlessly.

I look forward to starting 2011 on a positive note :)

Day oh-who-the-hell-even-remembers?

Today i came to 3 conclusions about 3 completely different subjects.

First, people that can't handle a very generic, non offensive joke made on the internet, and feel the need to respond to said joke with racial slurs and incorrectly spelled insults are, well, moronic.

···· i made a comment about a guy deserving to get a dui because he had two last names. I WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT SERIOUS. but some (for lack of a better word) douche felt that he needed to be an internet vigilante and fight for some random guy's honor, a guy he doesn't have any ties to, by asking me what kind of name 'Bekkuh Herring' was and telling me it's only a normal name because i'm pakistani (which i'm not)... i'm not sure if he was judging by my picture, you know, cause i have brown hair...

Second, i have, in all 24 years of my life, never been much of a writer.

···· i could never bring myself to sit down and put pen to paper, or even fingertips to keyboard. i can't eloquently say anything, no matter how hard i try. when i had a diary, i tried writing in it religiously, which only lasted about 3 days. even as a private book, that i knew nobody would read, i wrote as though i was writing for someone. i could never just write what i felt, with no regard for how it would really make anyone else feel if they read it. i'm attempting to not do the same here. i try to write what i feel, but sometimes that is hard for me, which is why the updates are few and far between. i will try to be better, for myself

Last, Dr Bronner's+Hair=BAD IDEA. don't do it!

···· i wanted to give it a try, so i've been using a tiny bit on my roots every few days. today however, i decided to be a little more hardcore and scrub my entire scalp and lather up the rest of my hair with it. bad bad bad. after getting out of the shower, i towel dried, then blow dried and instantly noticed that my hair felt really strange and waxy.

···· after closer inspection of my brush, i realized that more hair than usual was pulled out, and it was all covered in a really gross waxy substance that looked grey and had white specks. it's not lice, and my scalp isn't peeling. it was the 'soap' turning waxy and then balling up. uuuugh. now i must take another shower and try to save my hair with the other organic stuff i usually use. i may have to give up on not washing my hair after this. it's not going so well, hence no new pictures. i'm completely revolted by my own hair. me, the girl who used to skip showers for 3-4 days, is grossed out by a little grease in my hair. i know eric's not to keen on the idea of dirty hair either.
