The Daily Double

Bullet points regarding the past 24 hours or so:

  • Nordstrom has informed me that they overhired for my department - as such, I have been given 0 hours for the next pay period. I have to talk to my manager's manager so they can figure out what they're going to do with me. The better question is what I'm going to do with them. Yes, I am upset about this.
  • An American Apparel is opening up in Huntington Beach. Perhaps they will hire me. Working at American Apparel would be so swank compared to Nordstrom; although, the people/philosophy behind Nordstrom are pretty impressive.
  • I went to UCLA last night to celebrate the completion of Michelle's third year of college. We went to Acapulco for dinner, hit up a bar next-door (which had the WORST SERVICE EVER) and caught the tail-end of the "Undie Run" in Westwood, an event during which UCLA students run around in their undergarments in protestation of finals. Frankly, after my experiences at Smith College, I was a bit disappointed by the whole event. Needless to say, there are pictures illustrating the evening's happenings in my online photo album. Hit it up, the link's on the right side of this page.
  • There was an earthquake today, which puts us at 3 or 4 in California in the last week alone. Cause for concern? Maybe.
  • Today Jeff Goodman and I went to Toober's and Sport Chalet. We entered a contest to win this radical pair of new in-line skates that they don't even carry in the store! We also spent a great deal of time discussing how amazing sleeping bags are as well as how awful it is when people so desire to reconstruct their private parts. Haha! Private parts!
  • Angela and I missed another meeting today. This made me very sad. I draw hope from the fact that we will most definitely be seeing each other very soon.
  • I talked to Alex Weiss today. Of this I was extremely happy. I REALLY hope she comes to California soon (and Allison, too)!
  • I consumed an entire package of Extra Winterfresh gum (15 sticks) in less than an hour. That was about 2 hours ago.
  • Father's Day is soon. I must resolve myself to finding clever gifts for my clever fathers. Make that #1 on my to-do list tomorrow. (Maybe #2, since I need to inquire about applying to work at American Apparel and figure out what the deal is at Nordstrom.)
  • One of my dog's ('scuse me, one of my mother's dogs) ate my underwear tonight. I'm not even joking. Imagine a pair of backless underwear with half the crotch area remaining and you'd have a pretty good idea of what they look like. This puts us at 4 pairs of eaten underwear in 3 weeks. This is becoming somewhat of a problem.
  • My cats are so much cuter than yours.

Okay, so long, fare well. It's 12:41, and I might just hit the sack now.

Bah! We were talking online last night, which was basically amazing even though it required me sitting in the lobby of my building. haha. And then the internet just stopped working, I guess pirated internet is not the most reliable of signals. Annnyway, talk to you soon!
