SUMMER...

This year's summer is waaaaay too long. I dont start school until freaking SEPT.
which MEANS more time working at WONDERFUL Raley's.
So this is how work is - - -
My coworkers are like recent high school grads or ppl that have graduated but dont ever plan on continuing school (the courtesy clerks) and the clerks are either old timers which are usu. nice.
Its kind of weird working there. You find ppl that i think ahve just burned out from school and have found raley's to be some "easy way out" but in reality... its just gonna suck them in where they feel comfortable and end up staying there for 20+ yrs. There are clerks there exactly like that. Its kind of sad. bec i KNOW those ppl are capable of doing so much better. Its good for me though to work with different peopel bec. i've been dealing so much with only like educated intelligencia bitches. its kind of an interesting change. i think its just weird having to adjust to having a social life outside of school. having ot make friends in the work place. something i've never had to do. = )
The other thing about working at Raley's ... and i guess retail in general is that you just learn not to care. School made me work really hard at everything i do. but since working here i just dont care anymore. I care to the point where my managers see me working hard, but other than that - fuck getting the carts when its 100 + degrees outside (unless a manager tells me.. in which case i dont like them).
But in general... its a job. I like that i'm actually getting money to spend = ) I think it'll be fun to go back in like 5 years and see who's still working there. hahaha esp bec i think a lot of the ppl there think i'm dumb or osmething.
The one REALLY beneficial thing i guess i'm learning while working here is basically customer service. u see how easily pepopel get PISSED OFF by the most random things... and you gotta deal with dat shit bec the customer is always right. bitches.

but anyways. work is consuming my life. like 30-40 hrs a week.

Kind of sad i'm not goign to dent school with allll my classmates from pacific = (
hope we all dont lose touch
but on a nother note... i moved into my house for ucsf last friday. it's pretty nice. my room is quite large. i live downstairs and there are 5 other ppl in the house who all live upstiars. need to make more trips to sf this summer while i still can just PLAY. too bad gas is so effing expesnive.

i dont feel 21.
