Written 11:42pm-1:23am, the night before.
(You don’t have to read everything. It kind of rambles closer to the end as it got later and later.)
So I was planning on talking happily about the apartment that I would be moving into on Monday. I was going to write about how I had gone to the management office, applied, and got an apartment where my new job is now. I would have raved about how great it was with the two pools, the cheap rent, and the walking distance to my work.
Well, I did go to the management office, but I did not get an apartment.
The reason?
I have no credit. And no credit score. Big whoop. Comes from not believing in credit cards and never buying a car.
The alternatives were as follows: Have someone else over the age of 18 submit to a credit score check and guarantee that I would pay rent, or pay the entire lease up front.
The first, my parents said ‘No way.’ The second, I said ‘I don’t have that kind of money.’
So, I’m back to getting a driver’s license and getting home after midnight on weekdays.
Let’s just say that my job great.
Today, we started at the new workplace. And I had two phone calls that were a little more stressful than normal.
The first, because I had to go live every call to ask for the person because there were some problems that were still being fixed, I asked for the woman’s name when a man answered the phone. He asked who I was and I stayed live because it’s just easier that way before the actual person answers. I said, in the same tone and inflection and everything as the recording, who I was and were I was calling from, then asked if the woman was available again. He immediately began saying stuff like I don’t like your tone and even after I apologized, he still was practically yelling at me. After about a minute, he finally gave up yelling and hung up. Yuck. Some people….
The second, I was talking to a woman who had decided that she did want to get the films I was selling, but wanted to do the split pay that we offered. After I got her credit card number, I asked her to hold while I asked someone how to do the split pay, which I had never done before. Halfway through learning how, the computer program which we use turned off on my computer. I panicked, of course. The woman would probably think she had been scammed! I also felt terrible! I immediately asked someone how I could call her back, and after I learned all I needed to fix it, I tried calling the woman back every 2-5 minutes. After a while, I finally got her back on the phone and began apologizing very profusely. She was more understanding than I could have hoped for, but had decided to wait a few months. I apologized some more, then we said goodbye and hung up.
Our new workplace has a lot of windows. While I worked, I was able to watch the trees as the breezes gently blew. While I watched, I caught a glimpse of someone I knew and had a crush on for a long time. He was someone I knew when I lived farther south than where I am now. He went to marine corps boot camp before he went on an LDS mission. When he got back from boot camp, he was the most gorgeous, tanned, muscular, blond haired, blue eyed man I have ever seen. Sigh… Then when he got back from his mission he worked with the young men, then he got married… Sigh… Oh well…
Oh, yeah… And about my phone… last Friday, I got on the bus home, checked something on my phone, then did something with it, what exactly it was, I have forgotten. When I got off the bus and went to wait for the train, the bus left for the garage, and I realized that my phone was still on it. I was so scared that I would never get my $220 phone back. The next day, when dad got home from work, he held his phone out to me for me to listen to something. It was a voice message from the bus driver saying that he had found my phone and that I could pick it up anytime after Tuesday at the lost and found. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get it until today. I am so happy that I have it back now… Sorry to any one who tried to call or text during the week… I have it back now….
‘Satan’s Camaro. In my backyard. It’s stalking me!’
That’s my new favorite quote. If anyone can guess what it’s from, kudos to you.
I’m running out of things to ramble about….
Guess what my favorite car is!
Dodge Charger.
Haha, you never would have guessed!
I just love the aggressive face it has! It’s so beautiful!
You know what is really hard about my job? I don’t agree with most of the stuff. Sure, I like the videos that I’m selling, but I don’t believe that it’s getting harder and harder to find positive entertainment. Just this month I saw a really cute and clean move called Penelope. The Narnia movies are good, Transformers may have a ton of swear words, but it has great themes through out.
I think I want to make computer wallpaper…. To bad I need a way better computer, and some graphic manipulating program.
The only unrealistic thing in Transformers is the fact that the robots make groans and cries as if stuff really hurts them. There probably is some explanation somewhere, but I haven’t found it, unless I’m just being stupid and unobservant.
You can tell what I’m thinking about right now…
I would stop writing, but I’m not going to be until the movie is over, and I’m still in the middle of the big battle at the end.
Maybe what I’m going to do to get some credit on my record is get some kind of simple, small loan from the bank, use the money to buy a great laptop, and pay it off before the summer is over. That’s what my mom suggested, sort of. Only she said that the money should go into a savings account. Only I would rather use the money for something useful, rather than just to get some credit on my record…
How can Megatron smell Sam, he is a robot and has no olfactory senses? Just a question…
Kay, I totally take back everything I said last post about college and everything that had to do with that subject. I don’t want to go to college, I don’t want to get anything higher than an associates degree. I don’t want to do anything other than write sorties for the rest of my life. Oh, and have a family. That’s pretty high on my list of things to do. Plus, I need a husband that would be able to support me while I wrote. Not a paper pusher, and only maybe a military man, only if he is gorgeous. (See how shallow I am?) Maybe a teacher, if he teaches something cool and isn’t like my dad was, staying at work until way past school hours just cause he likes to work. I would rather have a husband who would rather spend time with his family. And who will go to church on a regular basis, and who is healthy. I think I need to take a cooking class…
Movies I want to see in theaters now….
Indiana Jones 4
Prince Caspian (AKA Narnia 2)
Speed Racer
Movies I want to see in theaters in the future…

Harry Potter 6
TWILIGHT
Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D

Inner voice (AKA voice of reason) : “Do you know how late it is?”
Me: “Yeah…”
I V: “It’s after one in the morning. What are you still doing up with everything you need to do in the morning?”
Me: “Finishing Transformers?”
I V: “Are you unsure?”
Me: “No…
I V: “Oh, just go to bed…”
Another thing that bugs me about Transformers is that Bumblebee, through out the entire movie is a really hip, cool robot who talks through the radio. He acts kind of like the newbie, but in a way that makes him even more cool. Then, at the end, he speaks, and out comes this weird, English accent that just doesn’t fit his personality. What is with that?
And why do the robots have to blink!?
Oh yeah. I also wanted to talk about how I’m never going to the dentist again. But I will have to do that some other time, because the movie is over, and I have to go to bed now. I really do have a ton to do tomorrow…
Adieu!
