Do Me A Favor, Baby Don't Reply

Hokay. So let me tell you something about November 21.

I worked at 10am and they put me at podium for the first time. This term means that I rip tickets for people who come in the theatre. So yay, easy job. I got several interesting customers. Like these 2 old black ladies who I just absolutely adored. They reminded me if I were to be best friends with someone for more than 60 years and still spent my free time with them. They came up to me and all they did was talk. One of them went off to the bathroom while the other stayed with me and told me about how their day went. The other one comes back from the bathroom and asks to complain to a manager because there were no toilet seat covers. So cutest customer award goes to them. When they got out of the theatre, they even waved to me.

Next customer was this drunk guy. It was 11:30am. He asked me if I've been to the Fish Camp restaurant right there and I said no and asked why. Apparently they had the best beer ever and he was totally wasted. He asked if I watched Hitman yet and I said no because it just came out today. He decided that it'll be good no matter what since he's out of it and he walked to his theatre. He came back and asked me if I thought he'd have time to leave and come back. Then he left to go back to Fish Camp to drink more beer. Funniest customer.

Lastly, I got this guy who came in and mentioned how my name was really nice. He came up to me about 2-3 more times to talk about Beowulf and about random stuff. Surprised that my major was psychology and asked if I could tell what he was thinking about. I responded with, "you want me number." I was pretty straightforward and felt bad about saying it when he said no. So I said you want to be friends? And he said no. Apparently he meant if I could just read him like a book and tell what his interests are. I was totally distracted by the mounds of customers piling in and he finally asks me for my number anyways. Right when I gave it to him, Ms. Osiello puts me back to concessions to help out since there was such a large crowd of people. He thought I was following him to his theatre and he came to conclusion that he got me in trouble. I saw that he sent me a text already apologzing and pronouncing how to say his name. I went back to podium for the rest of the shift. I got a little paranoid and decided to push my break until I knew when the guy was going to come out of his theatre so he wouldn't go looking for me.

When I finally go on break, I call this missed phone number back forgetting that it was his number and hung up fast when he answered. He tried calling me back but I forwarded it to my voicemail and he was talking about how he hopes to hear from me soon and etc. I was disgusted and went back to work. Got another text with just a smiley face from him.

I get off of work and try to rush to Sue's house for that surprise party. My brakes give out and almost crash into the car in front of me. I swerve fast and go over the slight median and luckily my tires don't pop. Thanks brakes.

I change and finally get to Sue's. I realize when I get there, I'm surrounded by all these Koreans who are still in high school and felt really awkward. I only knew 4 people out of the 10 there. Sue came home with her cousin, Esther, and we surprised her with a ton of food. Yan came eventually and we talked about college stuff for a while. That creepy guy called me while I was there and I wanted a guy to answer to fuck with him, but I didn't know any of the guys there. Eventually we left and I dropped Yan off at home.

I go meet up with Alma and Alex at Sushi Mon and stand out in the cold for a little bit. Alexa, her family and Chris come out of the restaurant and we all go drive to Alex's house. It ended up just being Alma, Alex and I in the end because everyone went home. We chilled. Alma left and I told Alex about the whole stalker guy. Alex tries to mess with the guy through texts on his phone. The guy suspects that it's me anyways and when Alex tried to say, "oh sorry, wrong number", the guy responded with, "Well what's your name? Maybe we can still be friends." :(

I ended up passing out for an hour or so. Niki texted me that Vaniah was in town but I was way too tired to go meet up with them. I felt bad but I figured there was plenty of time for the week to do that.

That day was full of surprises. I think so.

November 22
So I get to work at 10am again. Around 11 or so, the guy calls me. I was already paranoid the night prior and Alex kept making fun of me. But my worst fear was if the guy came back to visit me. I worked in concessions that day and for the first time, I got put on register. I was really scared because I never did it before and I didn't know the combos and etc. I had Jenna back me up for a few transactions and learned quickly.

Out of nowhere, Ms. Donnelly comes up to me and says "Someone by the name of --- is here to see you, would you like to see him?" I panicked and said no about 10 times and she said alright, go to the restroom. I log out of my register and run to the back. I didn't know what to do. I text Alex and then call Jessica freaking out. I walk out to the auditoriums and I'm not supposed to be on the cell phone, but I did it anyways. Ms. Osiello didn't say anything when she saw me. But I was panicking a lot. I ended up tearing up a little bit. Jessica and Alex wanted to come and pick me up but I wasn't off for several hours. I went up to Kevin and Mike and told them what had happened and if anything were to happen, I'll go find them.

After work, I went straight to Jessica's to have Thanksgiving dinner. She had already ate with Ariel so it was me, eating alone once again. It was kind of weird that Ariel was there because we haven't talked since she left me a voicemail of her bitching me out for no reason. We didn't speak a word to each other except me saying "Excuse me" because I needed her to take her feet off of my work clothes. I left and went home.

Wayne came to pick me up and we tried to go get boba. Volcano Tea ended up closing at 7:30 and we didn't want to pay for Tea Planet's shitty boba. We went back to my place to catch Scrubs when I realized, oh yeah, I have satellite and I don't even have those channels. So we just talked for hours. He talked to my mom. He ended up spending the night.

What an interesting Thanksgiving.

November 24
I had work at 12pm and got put on floor staff. I didn't even get to go Black Friday shopping because I was so exhausted. I was pissed but whatever. Plus, my paycheck went to that stupid pay card thing again and not to my bank account.

Today was by far the most busiest day we've ever had. We not only were behind in cleaning auditoriums, we were low on staff. I was angry with popcorn on the stairs. I don't mind cleaning the chairs and the floor under them. But when the popcorn is on the stairs, for some reason the popcorn doesn't like to come out easily and you have to start scraping shit. We were so behind in cleaning that people would go in the auditoriums and already be waiting for the next showing. We had to kick those people out so we could clean. I was pissed off at the bathrooms as well. I'd clean and people wouldn't stop piling in. When I finally left because I had just cleaned it, this couple goes up to me. The male says that there's no paper towels in the restroom and the female tells me that the restroom looks disgusting and is a mess. I go back in and it's totally torn apart. It was just a really bad day and I'm glad I was getting off at 8 and didn't have to stay until 2am to clean up. On top of that, everytime I'd pass one of the guys on podium, he'd always say I was his favorite usher and have me clean all the little popcorn pieces around his area. That's when I finally talked to one of our security guards, Scott. I think he has this Asian culture fetish, or so it seems. But probably our nicest security guard there.

I got my paystub and learned that they paid me for a shift I didn't even work. So yay, more free money.

I ended up just going home and passing out. I was supposed to hang out with Tiffany, Yan and Jessica to go to a strip club or something since none of us have gone yet. That didn't happen.

November 25
Work at 9am. Main concessions was fun. I worked next to Sarah who kept me company almost the whole time. I love working there. I don't realize that time is going by so fast because I'm always busy. I didn't even get my break until about 6 1/2 hours into my shift. Didn't even know that much time went by.

Michael Clarke Duncan was there at the theatres as well. The big black guy from The Green Mile. My god, he was huge. I couldn't stop staring.

I heard Penn was there as well when I was on break.

I seriously love my co-workers. At first I was really skeptical about this job, especially that majority of the people who work there are black. But for some reason, they're the main ones that I get along with. Yeah, hella stereotypical. I judge.

I went home and showered. Tiffany picked me up and we ate at Tofu Hut. Talked about love lives again. Ha. I really miss her. But just a few more weeks until winter break.

I was supposed to hang out with Wayne as well but he had this project that was due Tuesday and he didn't start yet. So I'll see him during winter break.

Jessica and Niki invited me to parties but I wasn't really in the mood to do anything. I guess I was hoping to spend time with people and just chill.

November 26
I went to work at 12 and got put on the high side concessions. The side where we have 6-18 auditoriums. I was with these 2 guys I haven't worked with before. They were talking about music and such for about 2 hours straight before they finally started to talk to me. I guess DeAngelo saw me at orientation and thought I was a super bitch and unfriendly because I kept to myself. I get that a lot. And Anthony kept hasseling me about projecting my voice more so people can hear me. Bah.

Out of nowhere it got super busy. Mainly because Ms. Gibson's free loading family kept coming with their tubawear and asking ME to refill their slushees and popcorn nonstop. I was really pissed about that because we had such a long line and they couldn't take into consideration about the customers.

While Anthony was on break, DeAngelo was asking me about random stuff. He thought I was this spoiled bitch who has a nice whip and a boyfriend who treats me well. Haha. It was kind of sad but entertaining. He kept saying he was going to go to church and pray for me. D: He really didn't believe I work for the things I have.

One little girl came up to me asking if I could give her a new large cup and I said no because if they're already getting free refills, why would I give them a new cup. I was rushing and ended up spilling it. So she got her new cup. >:O

Jenna came by and told me that Aero was having this 50% sale and today was the last day. So we decided we'll take our 30 min. break together so we can run over there. Mr. Arias kept yelling at me to take my break but I kept waiting. Haha.

We end up running to the store and browsed as fast as we could. I bought a jacket and a shirt and took a shirt as well. Yeah, not paying that much for a shirt like that.

I took a hotdog when I got off work because I refuse to pay 4 dollars for that small thing. Changed and let Jessica in. We watched Beowulf. My first free movie. I wasn't really moved by the movie. I thought it was going to be so much better. The animations, 3D approach was really great. The story was alright. I guess I expected too much since so many people thought it was so awesome.

I was trying to say bye to Sarah, but Scott kept talking to us. It was kind of weird but whatever. It occurred me while I was driving home that my mom dated someone named Scott a few years ago. And he really reminds me of him. Not too young but yeah. I got a little worried but I don't remember what he looks like. I don't think it's him though. D:

And for today. Psychology class is cancelled. So yeah. Maybe I'll finally hang out with everyone. I got a text pretty much everyday from them and I feel really bad but yeah. I wanted to hang out with people from out of town and I had work. Couldn't be helped.
