im bgnning to wonder if its worth it...
this weekend at work was hellish...it was super busy the whole damn time!! plus i had 7 and 8 hour shifts, but on my 7 hour shift, i coiuldnt getout for another hour cause it was so busy, and that turned into an 8 hour shift...but there are some good things:

1) sunday after work i found a bullet!! its a .38 police issue ^__^ i found it on the ground near the entrance to the mall, inside. it hadnt been fired or anything tho...im probly gonna go report it to mall security tomorrow.

2)i met a band!! they are an indie rock band from so-cal called heros die trying. i got their 5 song sample CD and gave them two dollars. they were stranded in my town cause they had a gig that fell thru. they were just eating at the mall and came to A&W ^__^ monday was actually really slow, so i had time to chat with them and stuf. i told them to try to get a gigat the "big easy" its s a club that has had some big names come thru like relient k, panic! at the disco and social distortion. they sound alot like a much heavier version of panic at the disco with a bit of a cristian theme to some of their songs. i guess they are a bit of crossover band...um...yeah, so thats about all with them...they are in battle of the bands and the winner gets a slot on the Vans warped Tour which is a big deal!!

and now for the shitty part...

MY GOD DAMN PAYCHECK WAS ONLY 160 FVCKING DOLLARS!! flushes my concert plans down the crapper...she was really looking forward to it too...so was i...hopefully my next paycheck will be better and in time for the def lepard concert, which was the other one she wanted to see. you know, i dont think it would have worked out anyways...my parents had a date night at the raeway cause my dad won a private booth and a nice dinner for the same night from his work...GOD DAMN IT! *kicks things* i know for sure my parents will, if it comes down to it, make me choose taekwondo over the concert. i'd rather wait another two weeks for taekwondo and go to the concert instead...i feel like something is wrong with my check. i even checked the taxes and crap, but even without it, it stil would have only been $184. i think they shorted me on hours or something...ive been working my ass off for three weeks!! 4 days a week with a minimum of 4 hours a day. a max of 8 hours...of course, they did only count 2 weeks. the pay period ended july 30th. even so, i was expecting at least 25% more than i got!! i was hoping for about 250-300, but i would have been ok with 200 or so...this is bullshit!! and now they dont "have" to give me breaks!! yesterday i worked 8 hours and only got 1 15 minute break! stupid "right to work" laws!! sometimes i'd rather be back in cali. sure, theres alot here, but the minimum wage is low, the laws allow for potential exploitation of workers, and my parents are pissed about it and getting on MY case!! im gonna try to stick with it, but as soon as i turn 16 im finding a better job. hopefully the opporunity will present itself sooner tho...oh well...*sighs* i take what i can get. tomorrow im still gonna ask for a copy of my timecards for that pay period t0 double chck everything. my mom keeps talkong anout an attorny!! i dont her to sue the place!! then i'd definitly loose my job. it seems ike everyone tehre knows the site manager personally except for me and one supervisor. one girl is her daughters best friend, another has known her since childhood. my other supervisor has his job pretty much garanteed, he's her nextdoor neighbor and is like a son to her, and another guy, i dont know how he knows her, but they were talknig about his cousins of friends or something...plus his brother works there, so i feel like im not only the new guy, but at an unfair disadvantage aswell!! bt you know what they say...its not what you know, its who you know...as much as i hate that fact, tis jsut that: a fact. well...now that i blew up in your faces...im gonna go sleep. these past 3 days in a row have all been 8 hour shifts and im exuasted...g'night...
