Saturday, May 5

through eyes half open... (or half closed?) and with a nose on the verge

oy ve, that's what i have to say...
starting thursday, not a moment's rest since until now. although it was a really full weekend from thursday on, i must say it was time spent well.
-went to the midnight showing of spiderman 3 on thursday night... awesome movie, you must go see it. my only issue was i finally got to bed at 3:30am, and then woke up at 5:30 am to...
-friday morning... went to breakfast at the incredible burger (delicious and perfectly sized breakfast burritos,,, not massive chipotle murder size). then we went to special games at cal state fullerton which was a total blast. however, i was so exhausted after only two hours of sleep, and my allergies were insane. i must have sneezed, no joke, at least once every 5 minutes. and anytime i wasn't sneezing, i was on the verge of it, thats a torterous feeling. and these sneezes were mighty powerful too. anyway, the girl who i was paired with was a TON of fun... she was so funny and always smiling, loving all the games. she was totally into the whole "tap the other shoulder and 'it wan't me'" game. a lot of fun. then after that i got to hangout and babysit some pretty cool kids! they are a fun bunch, but also and energetice bunch. and then after that, a night of fun on 2nd street with my friends from bible study. we did this progressive dinner thing... we had appetizers at this indian food place, dinner at open sesame (delicious as it always is) and then went to peets coffee afterwards for hot drinks (cause it was really cold). we all dressed up as "missionaries" because we were doing this dinner thing because the copelands are leaving soon for indonesia, so "missionary" was or dress up theme. it was definitely a night of fun... and of firsts... some of which i have pretty much decided to be a last :)
then after that i went to mi amiga danielle's party (which was a sleepover) and we all know that no one sleeps at sleep overs. so that was another late (but very fun) night.
-saturday, today, went straight to work from danielle's, and i don't know if i posted this, but i did give my two week's notice this week, so today was my second-to last day of work.
and today, work was TERRIBLE. i had dining room (again) and today i have concluded that the human kind is not only generally stupid, but also insanely MESSY. worst experience today: i was changing one of the trash cans, so, as is the normal routine, i covered the whole through which you throw out your food with another tray and a trash bag (so people wont throw away stuff in it when there is not trash can), put up a wet floor sign, and then removed the trash can itself and took it back to where we empty the trash and put a new bag in. i get back, and from the closed door of where the trash can is held (trash cabinet), there is a puddle of mint cookies n cream milkshake, and the source of this puddle? leaking from the the trash cabinet. the tray was still covering the trash hole, but i went over and opened the cabinet to see the nastiest mix of half a salad, nuggets, the remains of a chicken sandwhich, all soaking in a melted mint shake, melted icecream, mixed in with some mayonaise, ketchup bbq sauce, and soggy napkins. the smell alone was enough to send you running, but the sight just made me want to puke. and then i became very angry because someone had the nerve to lift the tray covering the trash hole, dump all their crap into an empty cabinet, put the tray back, and not mention a word. so how does one go about cleaning that up (the "one" of course being me) well, put some plastice golves, which only protect them from getting dirty, not protect from the revolting feel of chicken and lettuce soaked in milkshake. had to pick all of it up by hand, and dump it in the trash can... pretty much the grossest thing ever, (except for the time the mystery liquid by the dumpster got all in my face two weeks ago). i did my ususal stocking-stall when it was slow, and then my shift was over. it was a tough shift not only because of the multiple messes, but because i was so STINKIN tired. i went to fernando (my boss) to check which shift i would be working next saturday, my last day at chick-fil-a. fernando's response: "well stavro, i didn't need you next week, so your done. we'll see you friday to come pick up your check." what? i am ending my chick-fil-a carreer today? on a day as unpleasant like this? and hey, there's a reason it's called a two week notice, and it is not just out of courtesy for the boss, but also to give yourself two weeks to prepare for it to be over... i was NOT ready to stop working at chick-fil-a.
so completely caught off guard, i left and just went to golden spoon.
and then, i finally got around to taking a nap, and i went into such a deep sleep, that when i woke up, i thought it was sunday morning, however, it was only an hour later.
naps totally throw me off.
and i am still tired.
so i am going to go play tennis now...
thatll make me feel better.
but so ya, these entire past few days, my eyes have just been totally tired and half open... i almost feel like i have only seen half of whatever is going on... its weird.
oh so tired.

ciao

Oh Stina. Sounds like a super busy weekend. And it sounds fun except for your Chick-fil-a fiasco.
Here's something to make you feel better...
