   I have a cold
Yup. It's currently known as "The Grif cold" or more regionally "The Kieth cold." Apparently this strain of the disease started within the Grif (a.k.a. Netherlands Reformed) school system. Nikki got it from Keith, Cortney got it from Nikki, and now I got it from Cortney. Lovely. Hey, another reason not to hang out with my "friends."

Friend is starting to become a relative term for me. Argh. I don't feel like talking about that today. I've spent enough time complaining about them.

I think the main reason I got sick was because I'm too busy. Usually I can fight off most colds and viruses, but holding down two jobs AND school AND band rehersal is starting to take it's toll on me. I worked till 11:00 PM three times this week, and the other nights I worked till 8:30. I worked 2-8 on Saturday. I was already starting to feel sick, and couldn't wait for closing time, when Cortney called from Cenex and said they had an emergency.

Brian Overman quit last week by writing the boss a note. But he didn't give a two weeks notice, and he refuses to work his scheduled hours. Well, the boss says it's his problem, but it ends up being OUR problem to get someone to work with us. Cortney was all alone at Cenex, and everyone else was busy, so I had to work. At first I had a slight fit (heh, slight) and started screaming at her to find someone else, I was sick. But then I realized it wasn't her fault, and calmed slightly. Finally, very frustrated, I agreed to come in when I was done at Dans.

Anyway, I got there to find that the slushy machines had exploded (yes, exploded) and Darci (a morning employee) was working. Whitney was supposed to tell me, but apparently she was too busy, well, ya know, *sip sip*. And to top it all, Tiffany was sitting right outside the store talking to Marcus. No offense, but why the f^*) couldn't she work? I told Darci thanks for covering, and I'd hug her but I was coming down with a cold. (which turned out to be true-I left during church this morning because I was afraid if I sat a little longer I'd be sleeping there for a few hours)

Everyone keeps giving me their hours at Cenex. I can't say I don't appreciate it, but still...I'm getting overloaded. I'm seriously debating quitting Dans. Especially when play comes around. But I'd feel bad about leaving Dan in a lurch-two employees have quit and he can't find people to replace them.

*Sigh* I dunno. The combination of a major sinus headache and the medicine to get rid of the sinus headache is leaving my mind fuzzy.
Meh.

Talk to ya later~
