Hawaii

When you think of Hawaii, a normal person thinks of relaxation and palm trees and other tropical things like that. When I think of Hawaii, I just get sad. My chest clenches and I just get sad. I know it isn't normal to react like that, but how can I not? One of my best friends is moving to Hawaii in two weeks and two days. And lately, that's all I can think about. Every song I listen to reminds me of him and how he is going to be leaving and it sucks. It just sucks. I was driving with my friends today and Daylight by Maroon 5 came on the radio and I had to fight back tears. "And when daylight comes I'll have to go, but tonight I wanna hold you so close." Like, how can I not relate that to the situation. He's leaving. Out of the state, out of the time zone, all the way across the country. It sucks. It really does. And when this dreaded day comes, I'll be a mess. I know I will be :(

My Job

Oh my goodness. So this week I was supposed to work Monday, Saturday, and Sunday. Well, I couldn't work on Monday because I had pneumonia. Now today I hear that they are hiring people to work the front desk (which is where I usually am). That's fine, like I don't really care if they hire people for the desk, but when my hours are cut to begin with and they are hiring more people is when I get confused. Technically, I'm a floater, which means that I work wherever they need me except for the bar and behind the machines. But they never put me in the snack bar, so I'm primarily a desk person. And I'm like the only one who delivers food. But, I'm not going to be a glorified waitress and have like no hours so they can hire someone else. Like that's stupid, dontcha think? OH not to mention that I apparently "don't count." Let me tell you about this one. I was at a staff meeting last Sunday and they were talking about upselling pizza bowls at the desk. And someone asked if the people at the desk asks if people want to add a large appetizer for 20% off to their pizza bowl. And I said that I ask people if they want to, and one of my managers turns to me and goes, "well you don't count." OKAY THEN. WHY AM I HERE IF I DON'T COUNT?! If I "don't count" and am going to be overlooked, I'll probably start looking for a different job. Maybe somewhere where I will count.  Well anyways, this was kind of a rant, so thanks! :)
