So never mind about me working at starbucks. I will not be starting there on monday or any other day.
I start at Convergys on Monday. My hours will suck for a while but it is $2 an hour more than the starbucks gig. I wasn't going to be able to pay my bills with the starbucks job. it was just the only thing to come along. until yesterday. i was walking around downtown getting my parking pass and all that crap when they call me from convergys to set up a testing thing. the lady made it very clear that it was not an interview so i figured even if i passed the testing it would be a while before and interview and everything. but apparently she was just kidding.
so yeah, i hope this doesn't suck. i have heard many people say that it does in fact suck but i can do anything for a little while until something better comes along. |

yeah, um, please don't hate me. Its just, well, when the only job you can get is one you weren't even applying for but is handed to you anyway. well, you take it right?
i got hired at the starbucks downtown. i hang my head in shame. how can i ever walk into greyfriars again? i feel like such a traitor.
but it is a job and i must do what i must for my family.
in my slight defense this starbucks is actually run by the hotel, they just pay for the name.
anyway, come visit me if you can stomach the idea of walking in there. i will be there M-F till 2.
oh yeah, we went to Destin this past weekend. It was awesome! |

| Atlanta Pride |
[Jun. 26th, 2006|04:22 pm] |
Mike and I went to Atlanta Pride this weekend. It was very cool. We did the Dyke March and walked around to all the tents and stuff. It was good to be together. During the dyke march we brainstormed about things we would like to accomplish in our community. I am really excited and ready to get started.
We stayed at this really nice hotel downtown. We had a balcony on the 15th floor which we enjoyed very much. The bed was the best bed I have ever slept in. I didn't wake up once and when I did wake to room service i felt like a million dollars. It great to wake up and not have a hurting back for a change.
All in all, getting away with the one i love was reviving and wonderful. |

Family is one of those things that you either love to have or wish you never had. I am lost somewhere in the middle. There have been times in my life where i have felt very fortunate to have the mother and father that i was given. But lately i wish i had any one else's parents but my own. (well, except my dad. I'll keep him.) My family says that they love me but they talk behind my back like i am sin incarnate. They like me and audra but this or but that. My uncle is willing to buy my cousin (who is living with us) an apartment building, if she decides to stay in chattavegas, rather than her continue to live with me. He doesn't like her here because of my "lifestyle". He said this and my mom agreed that it wasn't a good thing for her to be here with us. My own mother thinks that my cousin being close to me is a bad thing. gee thanks mom. And being the two-faced individual she has been lately she says to my face that audra is most certainly welcome in this family. To which i replied with a snort. yeah, right.
Can you just imagine for a minute...Complete strangers love you upon meeting you. People are always excited to see you, except your family...It hurts. I am worse than the red headed step child. I can't even think of a good example of how much worse. Why do they feel the need to deride my life and my happiness. I love you but i don't approve. I love you but. I now know why i never trusted love before audra or why i was so complacent. I was raised on conditional love. I love you if. I love you when.
yeah, enough of my rambling for the moment. I am so happy with my life they can't touch this as hard as they try. They are only hurting themselves in my eyes.
Audra says that they don't deserve me. Maybe she is right.
My mom also wants my child molester uncle to move into the guest house on her property even though she knows what he has does... Why do i keep going back for more.
Family. |

To avoid Riverbend traffic Mike and i went to my work for drinks sat. that was fun and interesting. then we went over to ory's for a few drinks and then came home. my cousin came with us. she is such a trip!
yesterday we helped take nana out on the town. that was exhausting. it was so hot and everything.
when we went to the chattanooga market there was a childrens author selling her new book. Mike and i bought a copy for the girls and she signed it to ardy and lilith. it was really cute. there first book together. the book is called "Hopalong Jack and the Blue Bunny's" It is really cute and the illustrations are really good. Check it out if you have kids. |

| drag kings |
[Jun. 7th, 2006|11:07 am] |
Last weekend I went to nashville with mike and the drag troupe he is in. drag kings. hot damn. anyway, there was a drag king extravaganza. it was awesome! i had never seen a drag king show before. it was amazing. some of the shows would rock your socks off. mike and his crew did an amazing job. they were one of the best acts out there. i got to go back stage and help out a little bit, that was fun too.
another alice came up to nashville to see the show and hang out. it was awesome to see her and have someone to ooh and aah with. themissiah and tripp came out for the second show, it was great to see them.
it was a great weekend going to Nashville Pride. Oh yeah, i got to drive in the parade which was cool cause i thought i would just be waiting for them at the park or something. very cool.
i am fairly certain that one of the cooks at the place i work drugged my food the other night. i ate left overs for lunch yesterday and 20 min after eating i felt like i had taken some sort of narcotic. it lasted for about 8 hours. i went to the hospital to get checked out. there is nothing physically wrong with me. the drug test came back neg. but the doctor said it seemed like i had been drugged. i went and got tested at another clinic since the hospital could not check for everything. i won't know anything certain for a few days. what if i had been in the car with the girls when that hit? what if one of the girls had eaten the pizza? what if? what if? what if? i am so pissed i want to choke the 2 little piss ants but unfortunately i can't at the moment prove anything. grr. |

As if cleaning ones house is not stressful enough. My cousin Cynthia is coming to spend the summer. She is taking some classes at UTC and going to work here for the summer and needed a place to stay. she was going to stay with my mom but my grandma is taking every ounce of time and energy from my mom and my mom felt that Cynthia would be happier staying with me. Which is likely true. Cynthia and I have similar grandma issues so i imagine not staying in a house with grandma would be more fun and relaxing.
Cynthia is getting on the road this morning so think happy road trip thoughts. She is 19 and a young republican. she has had a rough year and wants to get away for the summer to get herself together. I admire that. She is cool with my current family situation. My mom told her for me. gee thanks, could have handled that myself. I haven't seen or really spoken to Cynthia in probably 7 years or more. I have a senior picture so i know what she looked like a year or 2 ago.
So yeah, last minute unpacking and moving the girls into one bedroom with a 4 day notice. my mom never mentioned that she was coming until she was asking if cynthia could stay with me. nice huh?
wish me luck.
Oh yeah, not to mention that Mikes sisters are graduating high school on saturday. her dad is coming into town tomorrow night, her grandmother is in the hospital so her uncle is also here. my parents are escaping for the weekend and need me to look after grandma but didn't ask if this was a good weekend for me and didn't mention they were leaving until sunday when the mentioned cynthia coming. note to self, if you need someones help, ask if it is possible for them to help on the days you need. and if you don't ask and they can't don't guilt trip. not their fault.
grrr. |
