So i went shopping today... Since I'm goin to the river to camp for the first time in like 2 years, this being only my 2nd time to really camp... girl scout camping doesn't really count most of the time we had cabins and/or were in buildings (ie the Wax (or is it the train museum with wax figures?? whichever) Museum in Galveston).... but my thought for a second ago... since I've only been camping once I'm not really sure what to get... so I'm getting stuff together like I'm goin out of town overnight.... a backpack with clothes and toiletries, my 2 pillows, camp chair, and my Texas flag afgan and towels... I think I should be good to go for the weekend... take an extra pair of flip flops, sun block, bug spray, a 1st aid kit and my meds (my nexium for my stomach, I dont have weird psychological problems... Well I'm not a mind reader, that could be a problem... hehehe...).... need to get some TP still... and I'm still debating on the box of condoms... but then I dont know the right size to get (yes I do have someone in mind as quite a few people know...) and I seriously doubt with my morals it'll happen this weekend... If it does at all...
I'll prolly grab my swiss army knife out of the car and i got a new flashlight (if you have to go in the middle of the night... you have to go....). So Nicole's coming over about 830, 9 oclock Saturday morning and we'll leave from here and hopefully get there by 11 ish... I'm not floating but Nicole is... The river still scares me after what happened a few years ago... Actually I dont think I've been tubing since then at all... I could raft, but theres not enough ability to control situations in a tube as there is in a raft... Though I've never been in a raft so its all guessing on my part....
Aight... Work. I didnt go today. I'm off tommorrow... and I really don't feel like goin the rest of the week... Its not like I'll get paid anytime soon for this week.... I'll be getting this pay check about the first time I get my paycheck for Loehmanns... about 2, 2 and half weeks from now... thats gonna hurt the old bank account... 2 trips in those 2 weeks too... Should be interesting to see how I budget.... Hopefully well.... :)
Had orientation at Loehmann's yesterday.... spent about 2 and half hours doing paperwork and watching videoes... just me and the manager, Jon.... I fibbed and said I had a dentist appt so i could leave at 1230.... how bad am I? turns out, their dress code is exactly like Dillards, down to the no open toe shoes policy... also they only make the schedules a week in advance... and pay is bi weekly... and they have a demerit system for tardies and absences... up to 14 before your fired.... but they roll off after 3 monthes... and theres a 90 day probationary period, after which your job is safe till the yearly review in march/april or your fired... and you get a 15 percent discount right off... and your (my) mom and sisters can all use it.... that rocks hard core... they also say (haven't seen it put to the test yet) that you get 3 days leave for the death of an immediate family member... even longer if they lived far away (like West Texas or Alabama).... I may put it to the test for the 4th of july in NB... We'll see how flexible they are....
um lets see... talked to seany... made a date to go see Lords of Dogtown when it comes out (i think next week), I still need to see the new Star wars and longest yard when it comes out.... I called danny today and we may go out friday.... nothing for sure yet.... thats bout it for now.... laters....
