This is my new nephew, AJ. He's pretty cute. Odin and I went over to Chris and Lindsey's yesterday to meet him and they had a great time playing. They're going to be buds.
I'm really happy for them. I think a new dog is going to help raise Lindsey's spirits and give her some distraction. I know how nice distraction can be.
So it's basically my least favorite time of year. I work at a college bookstore and classes start next week. Students move in on Wednesday. I'm going to be working at least 12 hours a day for the next two weeks. It's a nice paycheck, but it's such a stressful time and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with all of the customers and the new employees we hired constantly hounding me. Its literally just begun and I've already had moments where I want to just run away and hide. At one point today I was training two new employees, answering the phone, helping other employees, and helping customers all at the same time because I was the only supervisor on the floor. And I can't really say anything to the other managers they're all busy too.
It's times like these where I really miss coming home to Shawn after a long day and telling him all about it. During my days I would mentally make lists of things I wanted to remember to tell him about and he always knew exactly what I meant and what I was talking about when I ranted because he worked there too and he knows the people I work with well.
When Shawn was talking to me for that week on Skype while he was in China I would literally write down lists of things to talk to him about so I didn't forget. After he stopped talking to me and I just thought he was having internet issues I continued to make lists so I would remember everything I wanted to tell him. I never got to tell him those things. I still have the lists. I also kept DVRing Community and not watching any of the episodes because I was waiting to watch them with him when he came back online. He never did. How's that for a depressing tangent?
Anyway...work sucks right now. But mom is coming up on Thursday to hang out with Odin for a few days while I'm working all day. So at least I won't have to worry about him.
Maybe when rush (which is what we call this busy time at work) is over I'll get back on okcupid or a different site. I'm just so tired of being alone.
Oh and I don't know if anyone was wondering what happened to Spencer, but that's pretty much what I'm wondering right now. He told me a while ago he wasn't going to work at the bookstore anymore because he found a new job. He gave his two weeks. Well, he had one week left and never showed up for any of his scheduled shifts. He hasn't even been in to pick up his last paycheck. He is even more of an immature kid than I thought he was. He is one person I'm not sad to have out of my life. I hope one day he grows up.
Also, my friend's mom apparently backed out of the trip to Michigan. I messaged Talia's husband, Adam today to ask him if he knew anything since her mom has stopped talking to me (hey, it's a theme in my life!) and he told me that she had told him that she wasn't going to fly me out anymore. Nice of her to let me know, though.
That's all I got for tonight. Time to shower, attempt to cuddle with Odin, and go to bed I think.
