So yeah, I haven't been keeping up on my journal entries as of late. Big surprise there, but I've been keeping busy, that's for sure.
Needless to say, I've been through a lot the past couple of months, since school and work started up again. I'm not sure I mentioned it, but I transferred to another Target, the one much closer to my house. My last day working at Boca Park was on my birthday, which except for minus a few friends, was one of the best days of my life, I was crying a lot, just not in front of people. Haha, I'm still manly.
I started work in the Garden as usual, I opened, and Jen even showed up about an hour after the store opened to come and visit with me. She watched me set up most of the Halloween displays, I spent most of the morning loading up the pumpkins that were going for sale. It was one of the colder days, so Kathy came out and brought me hot cocoa. That was about the time that she found out it was my birthday. Earlier, before the store had opened, Toni had everyone meet up near the checklanes and made the morning announcements, and ended it with everyone kinda saying goodbye and wishing me well. Of course, Nathaniel started cracking jokes.
But once Kathy found out it was my birthday, she ran off after asking me what kind of cake I liked. Work was just real quiet, I mean, besides watching Jen try to tell me she wasn't tired, and then she fell asleep on the patio furniture. That, and during breaks and lunches, call everyone, waking them up and making somewhat non-existent plans.
Then when I got pulled into the store, Kathy had a huge surprise for me: there was this huge chocolate cake in the break room, Nathaniel and Chris and a couple other people were there. They had a card that everyone signed for me as a going away present, and Kathy was all frantic, going, "We have to do this quick, before anyone sees!" So she lit some candles, and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. The card was sweet, it had a girl on the front throwing a tantrum with it saying, "NONO NONONONONO". On the inside it said, "No one said you could leave."
It was really touching, I miss 1207 so much, but I've been at 264 now, and it's really not so bad. The commute is almost worth it, I think. One of the main reasons I'm glad I'm out though is that day Kathy told me she was leaving as Team Lead for the Garden Center and she was moving into Softlines, and Ray was taking her place. I don't mind Ray all that much, but he's not the kind of person I want telling me what to do, so sorry, but I'm glad I'm gone if I'm not taking orders from her, it's better off in that regard.
2.0 and Jason picked Jen and I up from work and we drove to my house, laughing all the way HA HA HA. Josh and Bailey showed up later, followed by Veronica. Kelly called us down for cake and ice cream, and I got another song sung to me. Sophia was so enthralled by all the "big kids" she came upstairs and wouldn't leave us alone. Eventually we decided to go to Lindo Michoacan to go and eat for my birthday. So we piled into different cars and headed out.
I don't mean to snitch on Josh because of this, but Sonja knows now anyway. While we drove there, we were all dancing in the car to something I can't remember, it was energetic, I think it might have been "The Hampster Dance". Anyway, with him flailing his arms to the music, he sort of "punched" the button he had pinned to his drop-down mirror out the window. o_o
Yeah, I still don't know how it happened. The food was great, everyone liked the restaurant choice, and yes, they had the Mariachi band sing to me, so I got a THIRD song. All in all, a great adventure time now, yes?
Now, moving on. I've had a lot of stuff go down the past couple of weeks, it gets a little bit personal, so if you're truly interested ask me. But it goes like this: I messed up, BAD. My parents sat down with me, they're going to help me through lots of stuff, it's going to be alright, I'm going to be fine, and things are on a steady path, and it's going to get a lot better.
That's about as vague as I can get. Lately, life hadn't been giving off that sparkle, and every day was just a run-through of everything else, I was having issues with my family, we weren't on good speaking terms. I did things I shouldn't have, badda-bing, badda-boom.
But, in honesty, I feel richer for the experience, and I'm glad things are much more out in the open. There is a position for Electronics Specialist at work, and I'm glad because first off, the girl who used to have it got fired, and I was glad because in a nutshell she was a total b***h. Second, it would mean a lot more money coming into me (which is good, more money is a good thing), and it would be a nice area of work I would feel comfortable in, the only other place besides the Garden Center I enjoyed working in was Electronics, and also maybe Toys
So, let's keep going on this, and see what happens.
