I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me....

I have made the decision to start the month of June off on a positive note, despite all of the bags of poop life has thrown at me in the past weeks.

For starters, our apt in Atlanta has sent me to the creditors bureau because they claim that we didn't pay our last months rent AND have charged us $400 for miscellaneous fees that they claim we owe. As far as the rent issue, I think I would have noticed if I had an extra $600 in my bank unaccounted for. So settling that issue is easy enough because my bank actually has a copy of the check I paid with so just print that up and send it to them, but seriously... who does that? Who sends someone to the creditors bureau saying they didn't pay their rent when it's all but TOO OBVIOUS that it was paid? Only happens to me.

Changs has also proven to be alot of unnecessary drama, but what would Changs be like without the drama? The way that they treat their employees is so insane! If Joseph Stalin were ever a restaurant manager, he would most likely find most satisfaction working at Changs. The managers analyze every little thing you do and actually rank all of the servers NOT based on performance, but based on how much they can suck up. Now don't get me wrong, I can suck with the best of them, but it's a whole 'nother world in there.

Every week we have a different class for training. They're all "optional" but if you don't go to them, the next week your whole schedule will be horrible. The only reason they say they're optional is so they can get away with not allowing you to clock in for them. If you release your shifts, they'll mess with your schedule. They monitor all of your sales based on liquor/wine/bottled water and if you don't hit a certain amount of sales, they'll give you horrible sections. There's just so many ways that they can mess with you.

So far my schedule and my sections have stayed consistent, but who knows when I'm going to crush the eggshells they expect me to be walking on. Like I said, I can suck up to them while still maintaining dignity, but once they start treating me like a child, I will kick and scream and will probably end up needing a diaper. Ok... except for that last part, but you get the picture.

Next up, random bills have accrued and everything seems to attack all at once. Isn't that how it always works? Things could be better, but they could definitely be alot worse too. Mitch recently became a manager and along with that great promotion comes a great paycut. Particularly because Mitch is amazing at sales and being a manager, the options for anything but salary are slim. I just have to keep thinking that in order for him to take a step forward, he has to take a step back, but in the end it will all be worth it.

Fortunately, it doesn't take much to make me happy and little things more than make up for said bags of poop. *Shakes fist in air at life!!!*

Some of the things that bring me much happiness recently are:



-Mariah Carey's E=MC2! This album is amazing. Every song is a "smash hit!" AND MC is gonna be in Hawaii to shoot her new music video for "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" but I'm not sure if she's gonna be in Oahu or not... *Crosses Fingers*



-Sex and the City! The sex, the city, the puns... what more could I ask for? Maybe Cosmos... next time!



-The Pussycat Doll's new song "When I Grow Up" I've watched this video so many times and the song stays in constant rotation 24/7! So Hot! I swear, these Pussycats are like trannies on crack! Fierce. Tranny. Hot. Mess.

So those are just three of the many little things that make this boy happy and as for the bigger things in life that constantly keep me on cloud 9 are, of course, Mitch, Levi & Hawaii! I really need to start taking more pictures and now that I've learned how to post pictures, I'll be putting up alot more and making this bleek blog a little more festive. Please believe me!
