woah, getting called in early today

Sheri called up and looks like I'm coming in early today. Normally, I would have griped about it because Sheri says I need to work more closing shifts to get used to it, but then again, I'd be working with Jenn tonight. (Ugh.)

Okay, here's what I don't get. Jenn found out that Crystal's training me with the shortcuts so we can get out in under ten minutes (mainly because Sheri hates it when we milk our time; it cuts back on the hours we get assigned to work each week), and Jenn's having attitude about it because I can't seem to close the normal way when I work with her. However, I've found that it's easier when I do closing procedures with the shortcuts that Crystal uses (that Christy showed her), and it all makes more sense that way. And the only way Jenn found out is because Danielle told her.

Justice finally called me from Bloomington. She's doing pretty well down there, which is good. I was starting to miss hearing from her. Maybe sometime around Halloween, I'll have to take a trip down there to visit her. I also got her address down there, so I'll have to send her a care package or something. Coincidentally, it just so happened that I stumbled upon this mini-book (one of those things you pick up for $5 before checking out at Barnes and Noble) I got from her one Christmas with all these quotes in it on joy and friendship, and I figured I might share some of them:

"You can always tell a true friend; when you make a fool of yourself he doesn't think you've done a permanent job."--Lawrence J. Peter

Oh, I also love it when karma comes to bite people in the ass who are truly deserving of it. *lah di dah*

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Oh my God, I love this movie. I'm going to have to watch it a few more times.

Okay...after the first viewing of the movie, there were a LOT of things that sprung to mind that I've been thinking over that I have to think about and wax philosophical about.

How could someone be so totally gone over a person who clearly takes them for granted? How could you call someone who treats you in such a way special? And it must feel absolutely terrible to feel that nobody will believe in you or even give you the time of day, like you're nothing but an afterthought or not even all that important...makes you wonder how it truly does feel to be wiped out from a single person's existence. You feel like you were just ignored, like you didn't even matter, like you're very superfluous. Why do we let ourselves be taken advantage of like this? If it causes that much pain, why do we insist on clinging to it? We cling to the past yet we don't want to lose the memories. We don't want to dwell on it, but we do anyway. This is self-defeating and it makes us codependent to refuse to let it go. It's a weird paradox. Why can't we all just get over it?

Yeah, I know...Holly's babbling on about stupid shit over a silly movie. But I can't help it. So many questions I have, so many things that I insist on closure for, or to make some sort of sense and logic.

*le sigh*
