12:37AM - Personality Thing, please do it

Okay, so Meri did this and put it on her blog and I thought it was great and decided to do it. The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up

My Personality Thing

6:57PM - Woo hoo...

Okay, I've managed to calm down somewhat thanks to sleeping pill induced nap. So now I suppose some further information about my rather sudden unemployment would be appreciated. As most of you know I was suspended just before Christmas because my $700 went missing. When this happened they told me I couldn't have any other problems with money. They also told me that they were going to make some adjustments to the way money was being handled. Anyway near the end of my shift today (don't you love how they alwasy make you work an entire day) the front desk manager asked me to come to the back office. When I did she was all serious and so was the general manager and he told me he was suprised that he was having to talk to me again. Honestly so was I because since it happened I'd been extremely careful with my cash drops. I would have whomever was working with me verify the cash amount and initial on the bottom that it was what I put in the envelope. So anyway they told me that I had left my drop in the register (like I made the drop and it was in an envelope but left it in the register) on DECEMBER 31ST!!! That's right over a week ago. So they handed me a summary of my final paycheck and my final paycheck. I was in shock. I wish that I had said something but I was completely blindsided by it. As I was driving home I honestly think that I didn't do it. Here's why, first of all no manager found it in the drawer, it had to be a regular employee who ratted me out. Well, obviously from the previous incident I'm not the most popular girl at the front desk and considering how Ashley lost her job I'm sure everyone knew that this would get me fired. It would have been so easy for me to ask someone to initial they saw me drop and then they just didn't, then they told Emily or Mr Gamble that they found my drop in the register. Also, there was one day when I told someone I was making a drop and they said okay but then said they hadn't seen me put it in the safe. I told them not to initial it and it should be a big deal because they had initialed the outside of the enevelope, I can't remember what day that was but it was right aroudn the same time period and could well have been the 31st. So now I am not making any money AND I'm about to be laid up for a week because of my surgery so I can't look for work or work. I'm starting my classes and I don't know how I'm going to pay for school supples. And Chris and I REALLY wanted a new bed, a king bed a comfy bed that wasn't going to cost us $200 for the entire thing including the bed frame. We had money put aside for it but now we won't be able to use it for this. Oh yeah, and while I changed the way I was handling money but the hotel didn't change anything. It's bullshit. Chris thinks that I should try to be a sub which I thought was a good idea but it looks like I have to be credentialed to just be a sub! How retarded is that? I've emailed the teacher I did my observations and my intro to teaching english teacher to see if either one of them could give me a hand. But I guess for now I'm going to file for unemployment and go fill out applications at hotels. Don't really know what else to do or how I'm going to afford my share of the rent....yay!

8:26PM - Postsecret

2:01PM

I know, I know, I hardly ever post on here. I'm sorry. Myspace has taken over my internet life. However now I need some friendly advice away from myspace. Because it involves work and like everyone from my work is on myspace. Here's the deal. At work I have a change drawer with $300 of the hotels money in various small bills to ensure that when I work by myself I can cover the monetary exchange needs of our guests. Several of us have one. Anyway, the day before her last day of work a coworker asked if she could write a $100 check and put it in my drawer and get cash so she and her husband could fix their car. I said yes and I gave the cash to her husband when he came in but for some reason the check wasn't put in my drawer. So then the next day (remember her last day) she asked if she could bring me the $100 after our checks went through (Tuesday the 6th, a week and a couple of days) and I didn't think it would be a big deal since her husband still works at the hotel. Well, the 6th came and went and nada. So I asked her husband at work and he said he'd check with her. More nada. So I emailed her. Nothing. I text messaged her, I emailed every address I had for her and I messaged her on myspace. Nothing. I sent another message to all these sources saying that if she didn't get me the money I'd have to tell our manager the whole story. I finally got a reply from her on myspace saying she'd been busy, she'd send a check with her husband so I could get it the next day, and to message her back to let her know I got that. I emailed her and messaged her. The next day her husband didn't have the check. So I messaged her again on myspace and emailed her. She called work but I was super busy so I couldn't take the call. I tried to call her cell but no answer. I haven't heard from her. Obviously we're going on two weeks here and I don't really know what to think. I may get in trouble for allowing them to take the cash but I'm not covering for eitehr one of them here. The thing is...is this avoidance or just typical California forgetfullness/laziness? I messaged her on myspace and emailed her again and plan on text messaging her. I figure if hubby doesn't have the money tomorrow morning I'll have to spill the beans to the boss. Is that right? Should I risk my job for this or should I cover $100 for her and not risk getting myself in trouble? Any thoughts?

11:38AM - Pleas help

So as some of you may or may not know I went to college in Louisiana and my husband grew up there. Now his hometown has not been hit by Katrina but they are currently housing refuggees. If you can donate money that's great. But they also need things like food, blankets and clothing. Here are some places that you can send donations. Please pass this along to everyone you know.
Centenary College
2911 Centenary Blvd. Contact Betsy Eaves, Chaplain, 869-5156
The college is sheltering 230 students from Dillard University in New Orleans who are taking refuge on the floors of the Gold Dome and health and physical education building gymnasium.
Donations are being coordinated by Betsy Eaves, the Chaplain at Centenary.

Food donations
Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana
2307 Texas Ave. in Shreveport. 675-2400
The food bank is serving as a staging area to collect donations from around the country that will be taken to the New
Orleans area. They will accept food, clothing and personal care items. Executive Director Jim Presson said the best food donations are those that already prepared or only need to be heated such as chili, stew or hearty soups

Bossier Shelter - Hooter Park MLK Center
The shelter is going to receive 120-130 people today. They have very few supplies and are in need of anything. They are set up for meals for today thru a local church but will be needing help organizing meals for the remainder of the time that they will be housing people. Food preparation, food donation and supply donations are needed. Please call 741-8357 if you can help.

8:35AM - CRAP CRAP CRAP

My car was broken in to last night, more proof we need to move out of this hellhole of an apartment building. There didn't appear to be any signs that they actually broke in to the car so it looks like one of my doors was left unlocked. They took the faceplate of my stereo but not the stereo itself (rendering my stereo useless and trapping a cd in there). They took all of the cds in the car, about 140 of them, which were of course the ones I like to listen to most often, which is why they were in my car. They also took my ugly orange uniform shirt with my name tag on it. And then, they took the otter pops. The box of 500 otter pops that we purchased for $7 at Sams. How dare they!!!! Well, I guess technically I was due for being broken in to, I'd never had a car broken in to in the 10 years I've been driving. Doesn't make me feel any better. We lost $2000 worth of cds!!!! This sucks, I thought things were getting better.

10:55AM - The other day.....

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang (the sound of what seems like the police about to bust into my apartment to search for fugitives
I open the door, our cranky old manager is standing there
"You need to go downstairs and clean up your oil spill right now"
(Backstory: there's a large oil spill in our parking garage)
"I'm sorry but it's not ours"
"It's leading from your cars"
"No, it's really not and it's not ours"
"It is and you need to clean it up"
"Look, I saw that oil spill when I was leaving for work this morning, I don't know where it came from but we didn't do it."
"It leads away from the white car, it came from that car."
"The white car?"
"yes"
"The white car doesn't belong to us, it belongs to our friend who just got here not ten minutes ago."
"I know, I saw him drive up. It's coming from his car."
"But he just got here"
"Yes"
"And that spill has been there since at least early this morning."
"Yes"
"Well then it can't be from that car."
"It's your spill and you need to clean it up."
"LOOK, IT IS NOT OUR SPILL. I'M NOT CLEANING IT UP AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BLAMING US FOR THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T DO!!!"
"Well...Mark (this is the landlord) knows about it and you'll be receiving a bill."
Chris steps in, "Fine, you prove it came from our car and we'll pay to clean it up."
"Don't talk shit to me BOY"
At this point pretty much it's chaos. Chris starts yelling at him and the manager is walking away (actually he had started walking away when he told me we would get a bill for the clean up). I had to pull Chris back into the apartment. The managers fat wife starts screaming something at him and he's yelling something at her, probably about the situation.
We all fume for a while.
Then we realize we should probably cover our asses so we take the digital camera and photograph all of the oil spill and our cars and our parking spots, we also video the trail.
Later that night Chris sees our neighbors who have assigned spots next to ours and asks if it looks like the oil spill came from our car. They say no, it looks like it's coming from the spot where the guy is often working on his car. We realize he's right. After some thought we realize what most likely happened. The guy was changing his oil, it was dripping and he was taking it over to the dumpster only to discover the dumpster wasn't there due to trash day. He starts to head upstairs to take it to his apartment (there's oil splashed on the steps) and realizes he isn't going to make it so he turns around and dumps the remainder on the grass (way to not listen to the epa). It didn't take much to figure that out. But NOOOOOOO, we were the culprits b/c we're just punk kids. Just like every box that is thrown away must belong to us and we can't use the dumpster we pay rent to be able to use! Or just like because a friend leaves our house early in the morning she is DEFINATELY living there and not, oh I don't know, sleeping in our living room for one night because she had a bit too much to drink and we don't want her driving while intoxicated. Needless to say we are looking for new apartments and hope to be moved out by August.

9:39PM - Authority Zero and San Diego

I had a great fucking time last night. Chris and I drove to Escondido and got our comp hotel room there. We got there with enough time to hang out for a bit and get something to eat. Then we headed to SOMA for the show. We should have waited though, there was no need to get there right when the doors opened. But Authority Zero fuckng ROCKED, like they always do. I always love seeing them perform, they are so damn good. One of the best live bands I have ever seen. I was especially impressed when Jason sang part of "Informer" Anyway so after the show we headed to the beach (after a stop off at the liqour store). We had the best time. We'd all brought our cameras so flashes were constantly going off. We found this huge pile of sand that had been put in front of lifeguard stand 23 so we all congregated there. We just hung out, drank, talked, and shit. We were there till like 3:30 in the morning when some cops came. It was amusing, they totally played "good cop, bad cop" one being nice to us and the other threatening to take us all to jail. But we just cleaned up all the beer cans and bottles and headed out. However not until they kicked Bill and Peepers out of the ocean (they decided to go running into the ocean in their boxers). It was a good show followed by a really fun evening. It's nice to go to the beach, you know that whole cliche about how you don't go to the stuff near you that's cool until people from out of town come in. Honestly I'm so glad I made myself go out, I've become such an anti-social homebody and I need nights like that to remind me to get off my ass, stop playing video games and hang out with people I like being around.
