Fired?

Yesterday I was looking at my bank account and I realized that I hadn't been paid in 7 weeks. I normally get paid every 2 weeks, so this was a little alarming. I talked to my managers about it and they said they would find out what was wrong. Well, they figured it out-- the Cougareat secretary had apparently fired me in January and hadn't told me or anyone else. (I'm assuming this was a mistake. She isn't even in charge of our store.) So, my managers had to re-hire me and have me look at the schedules for the last couple of months and tell them when I had worked. They were very apologetic, even though I wasn't mad at them-- they had no idea I was fired. But if the secretary fires me again without telling me, I am going to have to have a talk with her. That's just rude.

Go Brandon go

I wanted to take another post to brag about how cool Brandon is. He got invited to do research for the geology department this year. He also wrote a paper that was so good, his professor said that if he edited it well, he might publish it. Oh, I can see him becoming more employable every day. It makes me happy.

What doesn't make me happy is that he has a geology field trip this weekend and I will be all alone on Friday and Saturday.

No, stoop dogs, it wasn't an accident

I think I am going to punch the next person who asks if my pregnancy was planned. It bugs me to realize how nosy people are. What difference would it make if it were planned or not? It seems like any time someone finds out that I'm pregnant they say, "Really? Did you plan this?" as if they want to say, "Whoa, this must be an accident. Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Hey, it's my first baby. OF COURSE I don't have any idea what I'm doing.

Redo on the pic

Remember this picture? Well, I kind of lied in my caption. This isn't really how Brandon feels about school. This is the face Brandon made when he found out I was pregnant.



Don't be fooled; he really is excited. He even changed his gmail chat status to say "Brandon is pregnant." He might be sympathizing with me a little too much. His friend saw it and congratulated him. He congratulated her back. Ever since he found out that pregnancy is measured from the first day of a cycle instead of from conception, he has this theory that all women are pregnant all the time. Most girls get pretty mad when he tells them that.

I had my first appointment today and heard the baby's heart beat. So yes, Ashley, I DO have proof that I'm pregnant. I hope you believe me now. As if being sick all the time wasn't proof enough.

Dear Cougareat customers,

We do not accept Bookstore gift cards. If you ask me why we don't accept them, I will look you in the face and say, "Because we're NOT THE BOOKSTORE." This will make you look really stupid in front of your friends. And believe me, I won't feel bad about it. I'm not as nice as the other employees. I won't go check with a supervisor just to make sure you can't use them. I am a supervisor, so that would be a really stupid thing for me to do. So next time you order a dozen brownies, make sure you have an alternate method of payment.

Windy

Today I walked outside and was literally almost blown over by the wind. I had to regain my balance so that I wouldn't fall. I love days like this.

Impulsive


I went to get my hair cut today. With my last ounce of bravery, I told the stylist to give me full-on bangs-- a style I haven't sported since 4th grade. I still have mixed feelings about them, but I think they'll work.
