DONE

What a crappy last day, but at least it is over! I had to walk around today, trying to get people to sign up for Old Navy credit cards. That's it. Nothing else. I wasnt even permitted to fold. Luckily, the store's traffic died down quite a bit so I became unneeded. They let me go home early! I am just so glad that I didn't have to stay. DONE FOREVERRRRRRRRR YESSSSS

Now I can focus on all the darned packing I've got to do!

Queer-dar malfunction

You know, after being in a long-term committed relationship you kind of forget what it like when someone asks you for a date/hits on you. I go to the dog park almost every day and I'm often friendly with the other dog-parents. A couple of weeks ago, I exchanged numbers with another dog-park goer after she invited me to dinner with her and her friends. I was visiting family when she texted me, asking if I wanted to go out that night. Today, we saw each other again at the dog park and, naturally, we started talking again. Her 9 year old basset hound is not doing well (suspected chronic illness) and so I like to ask how things are going with him. Somehow we got to talking about how people resemble their dogs, both physically and personality-wise. I laughed saying, "Well, I don't know what Oliver says about me!" She smiled right at me and says, "Well, he's a big flirt!" I suddenly realized how ignorant I had been. She's been hitting on me! I just brushed it off and made some sort of joke about how her dog always begs for scratches.
Man, is my queer-dar rusty..

Counting down

63 days until graduate school orientation
17 days until moving day
6 days until my horrible retail job is over

Curse this horrid job

All of the rude customers.
The mind-numbing folding.
All of the trips back and forth to the sales floor,
Sweat-inducing labor and toil.
Asking, "Would you like to sign up for an Old Navy Card today and save 10% on your purchase today?"
Those goddamned plastic hangers...


I want to quit my job.
